It creates a crispy Pizza crust. Very simply, you put it into the oven, wait until it's very hot, and place the pizza (fresh, frozen, reheated -- it doesn't matter) on it to warm. Because it's porous (made of earthenware, usually), it absorbs moisture in addition to concentrating the heat to the pizza's bottom. Make sure to wash it only with plain water; soap will get absorbed into it and affect the flavor of the pizza.

How do you clean mold from a pizza stone or do I need to through it away?
If a pizza stone is allowed to get moldy it is probably best to just give it a toss, because removing the mold would require using harsh chemicals which would be absorbed into the porous stone. So how is it even possible for a pizza stone to get moldy in the first place? It sounds as though the pizza stone was washed with water and put away wet or damp (in a dark place) and not used for a lengthily time. Mold is a fungi that can grow on just about anything, including a pizza stone. Mold thrives in areas that are damp, humid and sheltered from sunlight. The best way to prevent mold from forming on a pizza stone is to keep the stone dry. Personally, I never wash my pizza stone. I just wait until it cools off and then brush anything that's baked on with a stiff brush. I hope this helps.
How hot does an oven need to be to crack a pizza stone?
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.
