Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If you read Jeffrey Steingarten's It must have been something I ate, you'll not only know that the best way to make a pizza is in a very, very hot wood-burning (or coal-burning) oven, but that it is likely to be nearly impossible to find one to use, let alone one to use on a regular basis. Jeffrey spent months trying to achieve the perfect pizza, getting grills up to temperatures in excess of 650F - at which point he decided that, with the addition of wood chips and extra coals, he could make a reasonably good pizza.
Instead of going to all that trouble, you can use VillaWare's Grill-Top Pizza Stone. It was created to take advantage of the high heat a gas grill can generate to produce a great crust. The stone itself is set on a rack above the grates of the grill, because it gets better heat exposure there. Personally, I'm a fan of grilled pizza, but this sounds like a fantastic idea. Maybe your grill won't get up as high as Jeffrey's modified one, but this sounds (to put it mildly) significantly safer. I know Mother's Day isn't past us (in the US) yet, but I think I'm getting a good idea of a Father's Day gift already....

I've seen it in the Williams-Sonoma catalogue but they'll only sell it as a catalogue or internet item. The Bakers Catalogue may have it too. Prob is, it's an expensive item to begin with AND it's heavy so the additional shipping just makes the price too scary.
If anyone knows who sells it in Los Angeles, I'd certainly be grateful to know.

For a lot less you could buy unglazed pavers, or just a beefy pizza stone made for your oven. Add a temperature probe and you'll be able to see the temp even when the lid is closed.
