pizza pan
A round metal sheet with a shallow, rounded raised rim, used for baking pizza. Some pans are perforated with hundreds of small holes that allow moisture to escape, which helps the dough brown evenly. Pizza pans can be found in gourmet shops and in the kitchenware section of many department stores.
