I think you need to use the same precautions... flour the cookie sheet
and sprinkle some cornmeal on it first. Run your spatula around
*just* before you put the pizza into the oven and remember it's all in
the wrist! Forward motions to get contact with the baking stone, then
one quick back motion.... like a magician taking the table cloth off a
fully set table.

I just use a regular pancake turner to lift my pizza enough to slide
the cookie sheet under and remove it from the oven. The crust is
crispy enough that all I need is the pancake turner, but it's 6-7 feet
to the counter, so I don't take chances.
