A pizza peel is a shovel-like tool utilized by bakers to slide loaves of bread, pizzas, pastries, and other baked items into and from an oven. It is generally made from wood, with a flat bring surface (like a shovel's blade) for holding the baked good and a handle extending from one side of that surface. The bring surface might be made of sheet metal, which is attached to a wooden manage. The word most likely originates from the French pelle, which explains both a peel and a shovel. There are peels of lots of sizes, with the length of the manage suited to the depth of the oven, and the size of the bring surface suited to the size of the food it is indicated to carry (for example, slightly bigger than the size of a pizza).
