I’ve tried this a few times and always seem to burn the hell out of the crust before the cheese is melted. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Do you use the parchment paper? I leave it on for a couple minutes then slide the paper out but keep the pizza in the same general spot.

I have also found that when I cook on the Kamado it helps to have an air gap between the heat deflector and my pizza stone/steel. I use a couple of pipe fittings between the two which helps protect against the direct radiant heat coming off the coals and also helps get the pizza a little higher in the dome where I think the toppings cook a little quicker.

Other issue may be your dough, you want to be sure it doesn't have sugar when cooking at really high heats.

You have to use 00 flour, which has a high gluten content. You can cook in an oven or grill up to 600-700 degrees, easily. Conversely, if you use 00 flour and cook in a 400-450 degree oven, it won’t ever get brown.
