The Gozney Venture pizza peel is designed to carry the prepared pizza from the workstation to the oven with a light, direct and precise handling. Its combination of aluminium, a perforated surface and a short handle is designed to make one of the most delicate stages of preparation easier: sliding the pizza onto the stone without losing its shape or its toppings.
Gozney has developed it for 12-inch pizzas, approximately 30.5 cm. Its compact design is particularly practical with the Tread and Arc Lite models, although it is not limited to these ovens: it can also be used with the Gozney Dome, and Gozney classifies it as one of the accessories compatible with the Arc XL.
Hexagonal perforation
The surface of the Venture is fully perforated in a hexagonal pattern. When moving the pizza onto the peel before launching it into the oven, these holes allow some of the loose flour used during preparation to fall away rather than being carried onto the dough into the oven.
This helps to achieve a cleaner, more controlled launch, especially when working with fresh dough and you need enough flour to prevent it from sticking to the work surface without carrying excess flour onto the base of the pizza.
Rounded shape
Gozney combines a rounded peel with a design developed for working with 12-inch pizzas, equivalent to approximately 30.5 cm. The geometry of the surface follows the circular shape of the pizza during preparation and before it is placed in the oven.
The 12-inch size also helps keep the Venture compact and easy to handle. You have a surface designed to prepare and slide a whole pizza onto the oven without the peel becoming an unnecessarily bulky tool.
Lightweight and durable aluminium peel
The blade is made of aluminium, and Gozney describes it as strong and lightweight. This is a particularly useful combination in a pizza peel, as the tool is constantly moving between the preparation area and the oven door whilst the pizza is already loaded with toppings.
Its lightweight construction ensures agile and natural handling during these transitions. This allows you to concentrate on positioning the pizza correctly and executing the toss with confidence, without having to manoeuvre a heavy or cumbersome peel.
Short handle
The Venture features a short handle to keep control close to the peel itself. Gozney particularly highlights this design for the Tread and Arc Lite models, where the compact size facilitates movements between the preparation area and the oven door.
That doesn’t mean the Venture is exclusive to those two models. Its 12-inch size also allows it to be used with larger-capacity Gozney ovens, including the Dome, and Gozney lists it amongst the accessories compatible with the Arc XL.
In any of these settings, the short handle maintains a direct feel during launching and also makes the shovel more comfortable to carry and store than a long-handled alternative.
Contoured aluminium handle
The handle is also made from aluminium, and Gozney specifies a contoured design. It is the point from which you transmit every small movement to the peel, from positioning the pizza correctly to guiding the final movement before placing it in the oven.
Its construction is integral to the Venture’s lightweight design, ensuring the tool remains focused on agile handling during preparation and tossing without adding bulky elements to the overall design.
Replaceable handle
Gozney confirms that the Venture’s handle is replaceable. This means it is not an integral part of the peel, which offers a significant advantage in terms of the utensil’s lifespan should that part need replacing in the future.
It is a practical feature in an accessory intended for frequent use. The availability or inclusion of a replacement handle is not implied: the confirmed feature is that the fitted handle can be replaced.
Recycled plastic hanging loop
At the end of the handle, the Venture features a sturdy ring for hanging it up once preparation is complete. Gozney specifies that this part is made from Ocean Bound Plastic-certified recycled plastic, incorporating this material into a functional element of the utensil.
The loop allows the peel to be hung in a suitable storage spot rather than being left to take up space on the worktop. A simple solution for keeping pizza utensils organised and ready for the next session.
