Biscotto di Sorrento for Burnhard Tony pizza oven
Original Italian pizza stone for Pizza Napoletana
The Biscotto di Sorrento is a traditionally handmade pizza stone from the Sorrento Peninsula, developed for baking pizza at particularly high temperatures.
With its dimensions of approx. 33 × 33 × 2 cm, this Biscotto is suitable as a compatible replacement and upgrade stone for the Burnhard Tony pizza oven.
Its characteristic open-pored structure ensures that the stored heat is released gently and evenly to the pizza base. This reduces the risk of the base burning while the topping is not yet fully baked.
The result is an evenly baked pizza base with a well-balanced combination of crispiness, lightness, and juiciness.
Particularly suitable for high baking temperatures
Conventional, compact pizza stones can transfer the stored heat very directly to the dough. At temperatures above 400 °C, this can cause the pizza base to become too dark or bitter very quickly.
In contrast, the Biscotto di Sorrento has a natural, porous material structure. This enables controlled and less aggressive heat transfer and makes the stone particularly suitable for:
- Pizza Napoletana
- short baking times
- high oven temperatures
- airy dough rims
- evenly baked pizza bases
The advantages of the Biscotto di Sorrento
- suitable for the Burnhard Tony pizza oven
- approx. 33 × 33 × 2 cm
- traditional production in Italy
- handmade natural product
- high porosity
- gentle and even heat release
- good absorption of excess moisture
- reduces the risk of a burnt pizza base
- ideal for Pizza Napoletana
- suitable for high baking temperatures
Difference from conventional fireclay stones
The essential difference lies in the heat transfer.
A compact fireclay stone stores a lot of energy and can transfer it very quickly to the dough base. Due to its porous structure, the Biscotto di Sorrento releases heat in a more controlled way.
This allows the pizza to be baked at high temperature without the base burning too quickly. At the same time, the stone supports a short baking time and the typical structure of a Neapolitan pizza.
The terms Saputo biscuit and Casapulla biscuit are often used as search terms for similar porous pizza oven stones. This product is a handcrafted Biscotto di Sorrento made in Italy.
Traditional artisanal production
Each Biscotto is crafted by hand and is therefore unique. Small visual and dimensional variations are part of the authentic character of this product.
The following characteristics may occur due to the production process:
- dimensional deviations of a few millimeters
- irregular or rough edges
- Pores and small indentations
- different color shades
- Scorch marks or colour gradients
- small chips
- superficial hairline cracks
- variations in weight and material thickness
These characteristics generally do not constitute a defect and neither impair the function nor the baking result.

FAQs
Product & Usage
1. Which accessories are truly essential for perfect pizza in a gas or wood-fired oven?
Essential accessories include a high-quality pizza peel, a thermometer for precise temperature control, a pizza stone or rotating plate for even baking, and a brush for cleaning the baking surface. These tools make handling the oven easier and ensure optimal baking results.
2. Are the accessories compatible with my pizza oven (Ooni, Gozney, etc.)?
Most professional pizza oven accessories are compatible with different models, including both gas and wood-fired ovens. It’s important to check the dimensions of the oven and the baking surface to choose the right accessories.
3. Why should I choose professional accessories instead of cheaper alternatives?
Professional accessories are made from heat-resistant and durable materials, offer better performance and a longer service life. They improve baking quality, reduce errors, and ensure consistently perfect pizza results—both at home and in professional use.
Maintenance & Accessories
1. What maintenance do the tools require?
To keep your pizza oven tools in perfect condition, they should be cleaned after every use. Residual flour, dough, and ash can easily be removed with a brush or a slightly damp cloth once everything has cooled down. Metal tools such as peels, turners, or brushes should occasionally be treated with food-safe oil to prevent rust. Wooden handles must not be soaked or cleaned in the dishwasher. Regularly checking for wear ensures safety and a long service life.
2. Can spare parts or accessories be purchased separately?
Yes, many spare parts and accessories for pizza ovens can be purchased separately. These include, for example, replacement handles, brush heads, thermometers, or pizza stones. When buying, make sure the parts are compatible with your oven model and have the correct dimensions. This way, you can individually expand your setup or replace worn components.
3. Do you provide operating or user manuals?
Yes, for most accessories we provide user manuals or usage instructions. These are available digitally (PDF) or directly on the product page. The manuals help you use the tools correctly, handle them safely, and extend their service life.
Warranty & Guarantee
1. What is the difference between a guarantee and a warranty?
The statutory warranty period is 24 months from the date of purchase. It covers defects that already existed at the time of purchase.
The guarantee is a voluntary service provided by the manufacturer and may vary in duration and scope.
2. How long is the warranty period for the products?
All products come with the statutory 24-month warranty. During the first 12 months, it is presumed that any defect already existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.
3. What does the warranty cover?
Depending on the manufacturer, the warranty covers material and workmanship defects. Damage caused by improper use, normal wear and tear, or incorrect care is generally excluded. The exact terms are described in the respective warranty documents.
