More even heat distribution. Same reason for things like tandoori ovens. Needs to be a relatively homogenous, smooth stone though, or else you're actively creating hot spots that will burn the crust or leave you with pockets of undercooked dough.

Yeah, there's no comparing a pizza cooked on a tray to a pizza cooked on a proper stone.

Pizza that can be folded is an abomination anyway, why quibble over details.

This. What more need be said?

I see your folded pizza and raise you a folded poutine.

I'm imagining a pizza that's charred in the middle and soft out the outside.

I'm also imagining a more realistic scenario where there's a small but noticeable difference, and wondering what it's like to be bothered by that.  I can barely smell things at all, and my taste buds are weak, so I appreciate texture a lot...  And I still can barely understand the problem.  Maybe I just enjoy variety of texture because I'm weak in other culinary senses. 

Like how I sometimes make random foods spicy on a whim for sake of variety, or I char foods because the black carbon tastes different.  Except that's not unusual, people enjoy toast...  I just go a little farther

On a mostly non-pizza-related note, I'm watching a Let's Play of Toby Fox's Halloween Hack. Yes, that Toby Fox. It's really kind of jarring to see how much he's matured since making this thing. No offense to him (he considers it an old shame anyway, IIRC,) but the whole thing just comes across as an edgy crappypasta badfic. It's obviously supposed to be scary, but it tends to cross into 2spoopy4me territory whenever it tries to be unsettling (which is all the time.)

You should see some of the fan games,comics,fictions,art....nevermind, I'm not listing it all out. Anyway, the unofficial nickname for Underfell Sans is Edgy Mc My Chemical Romance. It's pretty edgy.

There's a couple points in favor of stones:

1. Because you preheat stones (but not pans) they cook the crust faster, which means that you'll never get a soggy crust from the ingredients soaking through before it's fully cooked.
2. Stones tend to absorb moisture, meaning that the crust will be crisp and just a little chewy, rather than a doughy mess (if you deliberately make pizza crust thick and doughy, you sacrifice your right to talk about pizza).
3. It cooks the pizza much more evenly throughout.
4. You can free-form the shape of the pizza if you make your own.
5. Easiest thing in the world to clean. Just let cool and wipe clean.

The only real downside is that you can break a stone if you've got butterfingers. There's people dedicated enough to make their own dough for high-heat cooking so they can pop the pizza onto the stone at >500 degrees and get it done well in a flash, but that's rather more effort than most people would expend, so no pro there.

Let me go load up tumblr, I'll show you

EDIT: NVM they locked the official blog, can't show how edgy the Edgster is.

oh my god almost all of my problems with the DF community come from other people not getting into the game specifically because I liked the long-term goals

but... now that i think of it, it is pretty goddamn annoying when people run into someone else's hobby project and say "YOU'RE DOING THIS WRONG". Like, yeah, it's fine when it's basic usability, but there's a lot of people saying things like "the world activation didn't add anything".

[flabort]

What do they mean, when they say world activation didn't add anything?!
It's now a lot harder to run out of potential migrants, for one thing.

Doesn't affect fortress mode gameplay in a particularly meaningful fashion == does nothing, apparently

But it has affected sieges in a meaningful fashion.
