Never had one. Instead of spending $15 on a pizza stone I spent $1.50 on an 12" unglazed terra cotta tile. Does the same thing for whole lot less.
I've had my stone for almost 6 years. Assuming $3.00 a year on the tiles ($1.50 x 2), my pizza stone paid for itself last year.
Or would have, had it not been a wedding gift. Well, I think it was a wedding gift. I'm actually unclear on where it came from. Hmm. You know, it's possible that we bought it ourselves the year I made pizza a lot, in which case, it's been 7 years since we got it.
In any event, worth it for the metal stand alone.
How long do you have to preheat an oven with a pizza stone?
My poor brain is not doing a good job of sorting out posts about Rolling Stones and posts about pizza stones. Right now I have the pizza stones touring forever.

You'll find that you're no closer to distinguishing between a pizza stone and Mick Jagger when we start talking about topping.

Wow. I mean, props for getting back to her arboreal roots, but "Hey look! I've found another means by which I can cause myself serious injury!" is not the most calming message.
Both Julia Childs and Alton Brown prefer unglazed Quarry Tiles over pizza stones. [link]
My new band is going to be called The Pizza Stones. They'll do all the early Stones hits in a cheezy Italian accent. They'll do the "Ptui!" thing a lot.

Yup. I have the added challenge of what to do with our phone base. It's the only spot in the house where I can plug in the phone to the jack AND the electrical socket and the base is sitting on one of the end tables. Just where O can climb onto the sofa and slide on his belly over the side and onto the table. I've taken to removing the phone from the base so he can't call 9-1-1 accidentally but that doesn't stop him from playing with the buttons on the base until he's recorded several messages and paged every handset in the house.
