Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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.

I have thought about grilling some pizza. They both look really tasty.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

Thanks guys! I think I can now officially add pizzas to my PDB&G menu. :D

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

Nice! Those look tasty! Never once have I thought of putting pizza on my gas grill, but now I can't wait to try this. :dr

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

Niiiiice! EVERYTHING is better on the grill!

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

i have a pan with holes in the bottom to do pizza with....lets the heat straight to the crust. i havent put the pizza stone on the grill yet but i bet it works better than in the oven

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

Great thread,,,I loves me some pizza and now I can use the BBQ which is my all time favorite way of cooking.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

What temp are these cooked on?

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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

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

Re: Pizzas on the gas 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.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

^^^ 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.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

Great stuff...

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

Wow. Looks good. How big are those babies?

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

Those pizzas look fantastic, thanks for sharing.:dr

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

:tpd: nice job!

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

It looks like so delicious,I want to have it.:)

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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

Re: Pizzas on the gas 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

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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 !

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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.

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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?

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

works good on a pellet grill too... smokey...

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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 .

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

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!

Re: Pizzas on the gas grill
 

Did these last weekend...
