Corn meal has been working for me for decades. I usually bake a panna
rustica which uses moist dough and it's just not a problem. I don't use
corn meal with pizza but it's a somewhat stiffer dough and I use a
perforated pizza pan which is very well seasoned. Maybe you folks
aren't using enough corn meal?
