Netherton Foundry 12" Black Iron BBQ Chapa for Pizza Ovens

The Outdoor Pizza Oven Griddle Plate 12" is built for cooks who want more from their pizza oven than pizza alone. Designed as a flat cooking surface for high-heat outdoor cooking, it helps turn your oven into a more versatile fire-powered kitchen.

Use it for searing meat, cooking vegetables, crisping bacon, charring flatbreads, frying eggs, or building a proper outdoor breakfast straight from the heat. Where a pizza stone is made for dough, this griddle plate gives you a harder-working surface for ingredients that need direct contact, fast heat, and a clean sear.

Compact, practical, and easy to work into an existing outdoor cooking setup, this is a useful addition for anyone building a more capable Warrior Garden kitchen around pizza ovens, open-fire cooking, and British-made cookware.

FAQ's

A pizza oven griddle plate gives you a flat cooking surface inside a compatible outdoor pizza oven. It is useful for foods that need direct contact with heat, such as meat, vegetables, bacon, eggs, flatbreads, and small outdoor meals.

No. This griddle plate is designed to make a pizza oven more versatile. Instead of only cooking dough-based dishes, it allows you to sear, fry, char, and cook ingredients that would not work as well directly on a pizza stone.

Yes, when used with a compatible outdoor pizza oven, it supports the same practical style of high-heat outdoor cooking that sits at the heart of open-fire food preparation. Always follow the product care guidance and use suitable heatproof gloves or tools when handling hot cookware.

A 12" griddle plate works well for focused cooking sessions, including steaks, sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, onions, peppers, flatbreads, burgers, and smaller portions of vegetables.
