Evoluzione S.H.A Pizza Peel by GI.METAL
The Evoluzione S.H.A is a professional rectangular perforated pizza peel with a 36x36 cm head and a 180 cm handle, made from Special Hard Anodizing treated aluminium. It is designed for high-volume pizzerias and bakeries that bake in deep wood-fired or electric ovens, where reach, lightness and a clean release of the pizza are decisive.
What S.H.A. Special Hard Anodizing means
S.H.A. stands for Special Hard Anodizing, a hard oxide anodizing that protects the aluminium against corrosion, wear and friction. The head delivers heat resistance three times higher than standard anodised aluminium and an extremely low friction coefficient, so dough and baked pizzas glide off without sticking or tearing.
The perforated head advantage
The optimised perforation discharges excess flour in two directions before the pizza goes into the oven. Less flour on the oven floor means no burnt, bitter residue on the base of the pizza and a cleaner cooking chamber. GI.METAL was the first company in the world to develop perforated peels.
GI.METAL: pizza tools since 1986
GI.METAL began in 1986 as a small blacksmith workshop in Tuscany and is today based in Montale, in the province of Pistoia. Over more than thirty years it has become a world reference for pizza peels and pizzeria utensils, exporting over a thousand products worldwide and serving as a recognised supplier of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana.
Professional uses
- Loading raw pizzas into deep wood-fired ovens while staying at a safe distance from the flame thanks to the 180 cm handle.
- Sliding under the pizza for a quick, clean launch onto the oven floor without deforming the base.
- Discharging excess semolina or flour through the perforations before baking.
- Managing several pizzas in a busy service thanks to the lightweight, smooth head.
- Working comfortably on large or commercial ovens where a short handle is not enough.
Care and durability
The hard anodised surface resists impact and scratches. Clean with a soft dry or barely damp cloth and avoid abrasive pads; do not use the peel in prolonged contact with strongly acidic or strongly salted foods, which can attack the anodising over time.
For whom
Ideal for pizzerias, Neapolitan and gourmet pizza chefs, bakeries and gastronomy professionals who need a long-reach, durable launching peel for deep ovens.
