The pizza pan is a large  pan, usually designed to allow people to use it to bake pizza in a conventional oven. These can be any shape, although round is the most common, and can be made from a variety of different materials and designs to allow for a variety of pizzas to be made. Some Pizza pans are flat, while others have more rounded sides, and others have straight sides and a flat bottom to make deep-dish pizzas easier. Pizza pans make it easier for pizza makers who don't have a pizza brick oven or pizza stone to cook pizza in a standard oven.
