As pizza stones are cured at roughly 550 F, an oven would have to be hotter than this to potentially crack a pizza stone. Other things to consider is the pizza stone being flawed in some way, making it possible for the stone to crack at lower temperatures. Also, temperature extremes might cause a pizza stone to crack. For example, if the pizza stone was in the freezer then placed in an oven that is 550 F or hotter.

Yes absolutely.
A Pizza stone is a stone that is used at home to give Pizza the stone oven taste. It is a stone that you heat up in your oven and then put the pizza on it. It will cook the bottom of the pizza and give it the stone flavor.
People use pizza stones when cooking pizza to create a more authentic taste. It is similar to how they are stone baked in pizza restaurants. Also because the stone is flat the pizza has a more even surface when it is taken out of the oven.
a pizza stone is a tool that you use to cook pizza on or cookies, soo u place the cookie dough or pizza on the stone(if using pizza make sure you remove the plastic and paper so it can cook) The5thbeatle added: The idea behind a pizza stone is to distribute the heat evenly accross the pizza base and secondly to extract the moisture, so that your pizza dough is crispy. The pizza stone has to be preheated to a certain temperature to work and that often means leaving the oven on for quite a while before you begin to cook. Always place your stone in a cold oven and then turn the oven on. The purpose of this is to allow the stone to absorb the heat evenly. Assemble your pizza on a cookie sheet while the oven (and pizza stone) is heating up. Toss some cornmeal onto a cookie sheet to prevent the pizza dough from sticking, and place your dough on the cookie sheet. Put on the sauce, toppings and cheeses. Too much sauce or too many veggies will cause the dough to be mushy. Shake the cookie sheet often to make sure the dough doesn't stick. Open the oven door when it's finished preheating and slide the pizza onto the stone. Cook your pizza for desired time, then slide pizza back onto the cookie sheet when it's finished cooking. To clean your pizza stone, use a knife or a fork to take off the obvious pieces of pizza stuck to the stone and wash it in warm water without soap. Any form of detergent or soap will seep into the material and it will make an unwelcome addition to your next pizza.
If cooking pizza in an indoor oven, I recommend cranking the temperature up as high as it will go: usually 500-550 degrees F (260-290 degrees C). Place a pizza stone on the lower rack and preheat it with the oven-a piping hot stone will ensure a crisp crust.(If you like an extra crisp crust, par-bake the dough directly on the pizza stone for a minute or two before adding any sauce or toppings. )
A home system of baking pizza is best done using a "pizza stone" placed on one of the baking racks of the oven and preheated at a high temp.
The average pizza oven is about twice the size of a regular oven, but it depends. It can range from 18 to 32 inches. A wood-fired pizza oven will be much larger.
