I've been looking for a pizza steel for a long time to replace the pizza stone I have that split down the middle one time I put a not completely thawed pizza on the stone. They are so expensive though especially if you want a "normal" 16x16 size. Typically $60 and up with shipping adding to it due to the weight. While in another pizza thread here on slickdeals a user pointed me to "factory seconds" which are 50% off the regular price due to "minor blemishes".
I took a chance and ordered one and I'm glad I did cause for $33 shipped I received one that only has some minor scratches on the underside which I'm pretty sure will fill in after a couple of coats of seasoning. (flax seed oil baked at 500F for an hour then cooled..repeat 5 more times..some people mention flax seed oil flaking so I researched it since that's what I've been using on my cast iron and from what I read that happens when you season the cookware at two low a temperature...typically 350F instead of 500F. I've had no issues but feel free to use the oil of your choice)
I've attached photo's of the actual pizza steel I received. Hope this is useful to someone! I found a coupon code through the capital one shopping app
which gives 25% off. This saves me $7.50 which just about covered the $9.99 shipping fee.
The coupon code was "AP25'. *update* If AP25 doesn't work SAVED15 will give you 15% off (Thanks @EtherGnat!) Other sizes like 14x20 and other thickness's are available. The $33 price is after the AP25 coupon. The steel itself is $30. Shipping is $9.99. This is for the 16x16x.25.
QA note: AP25 is expired, SAVED15 is expired, use SAVED10 for 10% off. Limited size variations are still available.

All sold out except so the 14" deluxe. Still great prices even without the coupons so I guess I'll wait for a restock
14x14x3/8" ( and 1/4") is still in stock.
If you missed it, keep an eye on the site as I'm sure they restock these fairly often.
Was satisfied with my 16 x 16 cordierite stone for years but foolishly broke it.
Will go with steel next time.

They did have 3/8th thickness which is pretty close. They get really heavy at 3/8th inch. You may want to check the weight on the cookingsteel.com page. 1/2 inch will be even heavier.
Since this was posted on Sunday they may restock tomorrow once the "work week" starts. fingers crossed!
