All that said - if you are using unglazed quarry tile PLEASE MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT CONTAIN LEAD if you plan to cook pizza or bread directly on it! A lot of the quarry tile contains lead which will poison you.

Agreed. I don't think I would be using floor tile or whatever the OP indicated to cook food on. The two items are not the same. A good pizza stone is only $20 or so and will last for a very long time. I cook pizza on my stone all the time. In the oven, on the grill, wherever. My current pizza stone is charred black from so much use. I will be devastated when I finally break it.
One thing I learned is that when shopping for a pizza stone, pick a good one with handles on it so you have something to grab on to. My current one does not have handles and it can be a bit tricky getting it out of the oven (or off the grill) when it is hot.
