Pizza screens will solve the peel issues. Is there a reason not to use them ?
Not really. You'd still have to build the pizza then get it onto the screen. I don't see how you'd do that without a peel. I guess you could build the pizza on wax paper or parchment paper the put it on the screen.

Mike, I could have been doing everything wrong, but here was my process. I started with a ball of dough from Trader Joes. I threw some King Arthur flour onto my cutting board and started to work the dough. I worked it by hand and also used a Coke can as a rolling pin. I had a 14inch screen sitting right beside the cutting board. As the dough took shape, I'd grab the screen and put it over the dough to check for size. Dough too small, I worked it some more until it was the same size as the screen. At that point, dough wasn't sticky, so I folded it in half, slid the screen underneath then opened the dough back up to cover the screen.
I then spooned on some sauce and spread it out, layered it with cheese and toppings. I picked up the screen with the pie on top and slid the whole thing onto the pizza stone in the KP. During the cook, I used a pair of forks to spin the screen, which of course, rotated the pie. When the pizza was done, I slid my metal peel under the screen and pulled the pie from the oven. I slid the screen (and pie) off the peel and onto my cutting board. I then slide the peel between the pie and the screen leaving the screen on the cutting board. Next step was done different ways for no reason what so ever. On some pizzas, I cut them right on the peel then slid the pie onto the metal pizza tray that came with my KP. With others, I slid them off the peel onto the tray and cut them there.
