I made 2 pizzas on the gas grill today.......pesto/mozzarella cheese and the second was tomato sauce/mozzerella cheese/basil. I again used Trader Joe's plain fresh pizza dough. Both pizzas came out good.

The parchment paper made it so easy to transport the pizza to the hot cast iron pan. I slid the paper out from under the pizza after the first couple of minutes as it was baking.

You could use a pizza stone or a cast iron pizza pan like I have here:

What temp are these cooked on?

What temp are these cooked on?

All burners on the gas grill are turned on high and it takes about 7 to 8 minutes to bake each pizza at 450-500F. You can do the same using a Weber kettle grill.
It's very important to pre-heat the stone or cast iron pan temps to that level before placing pizza.

Man, this pizza making is becoming to be addictive. I've eaten so much pizza since I started doing pizza last month. The topping combinations are endless.

I made shiitake mushroom pizza last night. Very tasty.

Mushroom and Spinach Pizza is one of my all-time favs.

Can't wait to try making my own on the grill.

Love doing this. I go a different route, and make all my own dough and pizza sauce from scratch. Then I cook directly on the grates on the weber.

^^^ Yeah, that's very nice! I'd like to grill the dough directly on the grill next time, flip, and add toppings.

My last two times making my dough were total FAILS. They came out all right but I should have kept them in the fridge overnight for a slow rise. I wasn't patient enough so used them after the initial rise.
The pizzamaking forum have their dough making down to a science, weighing each ingredient gram for gram.

Ive never let dough rest overnight. I mix it up and let is rise for an hour or two, then punch it down and divide/roll out into pies. Ive only ever done the thin crust pies tho so maybe it is different if you want a thick crust

I'm still saving for my Weber. I can't wait to dive into this, my current grill is just too tiny for cooking such an endeavor.

I did my last pizza session on the Weber charcoal grill.....6 minutes @ 500+ degrees. I was happy with the way they turned out. This time, dough was made from scratch. :D

I did this a couple weeks ago . The wife just asked earlier today when I was going to do it again . I used premade dough , mozzarella , riccotta and baby spinach on one , tomato sauce and mozarella on another and the third was a pepperoni pie . Gonna do the spinach and riccotta again and try one with some bacon and tomato sauce this time . Grilled pizza is great . Nice thread !

One of the best things you can get if you intend to make homemade pizza is a pizza stone. Works great in both the oven and on the grill.

just a quick word of advice here on using a pizza stone. dont preheat it directly over a burner that is on.....burns the stone and ruins it. the best bet is the cast iron pan, the pan with all the holes in the bottom or directly on the grill over indirect heat

What about over charcoal? I got a stone I've never really used ever.

You are supposed to season them as well right? Any steps on how, as I can't say its ever been done.

This looks awesome, I think I know what we're having for dinner tonight.

Why can't you heat the stone over the burner? How is that different than a gas oven?

i would try to keep the coals in a ring around the outside of the stone...not so much head directly under it
i never seasoned mine.....as i cooked pizza on it tho it seemed to work better

as far as how it is different from a gas oven i dont know but i do know that i had mine on the grill...all 3 burners going to generate some heat and the stone turned black

Did the bacon pizza on the grill tonight . Absolutely delicious . I pre cooked the bacon first and then cut it up into big pieces . A little Cento Pizza sauce and some mozzarella cheese topped with the bacon - equals awesome . By the way I used thick cut bacon .

I love pizza on the grill!

I turn on one side of the grill and do the crust there then move it over to the other side and bake it. I've got fresh basil growing and always put some of that on their with fresh mozzarella and other toppings.

Nice thread!
