Just buy a pizza steel (like this: https://pizzasteel.com/). Warm it in an oven at max for 45 minutes, then turn the grill (broiler) on for 15 mins to get it as hot as possible.

Then bake your pizza on it with the grill still on.

Or make your own using a slab of stainless like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldo56hGAzHA I can recommend Alex's channel for the more hacking/DIY minded chefs.
I just went to a part of the city (southern SF) with lots of workshops. Found a steel piece that I liked, and bought it. The whole 50lb chunk of steel cost me ~$50; it's sold by weight.

Then I soaked it in vinegar for a day, and all the rust/grime wiped right off.

Then I coated it with oil and put it in the oven at 500 to season it.

+1 I love Alex’s channel. Highly entertaining!
There are also circular shaped baking sheets which are designed for pizza. Does a great job but preheating is key. https://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Recipe-Right-Pizza-2-Piece/dp/...
