Pizza on the Big Green Egg
Posted on 3/23/13 at 8:00 pm

First time doing a from scratch pizza cook. Any advice?
From what I have read i should be:
1. putting the egg at 600 degrees
2. Plate setter with legs down
3. Pizza stone on plate setter
4. use cornmeal to help pizza slide on and off the peel
How long do pizzas normally take at such a high temp?

I've yet to do one on my Grill Dome, but everything I've read I thought you'd only have to leave it on for 10 minutes or so at that temperature.

Setup as you described, but put something between the stone and plate setter to get the stone higher in the dome (for top browning and to insulate the crust a bit). Try the green egg feet, or a few inch and a half segments of copper pipe, or a couple of firebricks set on edge. Timing is difficult, as it depends on the crust....hydration of dough, thickness, amount/kind of toppings, etc. at 600, with high hydration thin crust, light toppings, I'd say 5-8 minutes.
Have not egged a pizza since I got the Baking Steel....it works great in the oven with the broiler assist.

Made 3 smallish pizzas. Second is on egg right now. First turned out great thus far.

Also, making a round pizza is hard as hell. Mine all have turned out looking like continents.

We went to a Florida Eggfest in Melbourne and one of the cooks was cooking pizza. He used store bought Pizza dough with a little pizza sauce spread on it, pulled barbecued beef brisket and mozarella cheese topping. He had a line of people waiting for them.

Whatever you do, don't wash the pizza stone with soap. I hadn't used mine in awhile and forgot not to use soap. It was dusty as shite and I washed it. Had to throw the pizza stone out.
Another bit of advice, the legs on the plate setter are extremely weak. I sawed a 3 inch piece of 4" PVC pipe off that fell 3 feet and hit the leg when the setter was leaning up against my work bench and it broke off.

I like to work my crust on a sheet of parchment paper. I use this to move the dough onto the pizza stone and brown the crust a bit, slide the crust off the grill, add toppings (not too much to weigh the crust down) and then back on the egg until done.
I like a bubbly crust with some char and this works for me.
