Yesterday made two pizza's. One for my wife and the other for me.
Different taste. It is not the first time I have made pizza on the Egg.
The Egg did it's part but boy did I have trouble getting it off the stone. NO matter what I did, both of them stuck to the stone and made a mess getting them off. Oh well. Not sure I want to tackle that again. [p]Chef Jerry

Jwirlwind,
Did your stone get good and preheated before you put them on? You can build your pizza on parchment paper and bake it with it on, never sticks. -RP

AZRP,
Yep. The stone was on shortly after I lit the fire. I did use cornmeal on the stone, but it still stuck. First time I have had that to happen. I will try the paper. Sounds like the way to go. Easy getting it on and off.
Thanks ASRP !!![p]Chef Jerry

stike,
That could be one of the problems. [p]Chef Jerry

stike,[p] or wet dough

Jwirlwind,[p]As to the sticking as long as the Egg is hot and you have a 'decent' pizza peel of some sort you might have been missing the lubricant to make it slide off easily?[p]A lot of folks recommend cornmeal and that definately works. For me I don't like the little bit of added cornmeal flavor and I found a substitute. Semolina flour is pretty course and works just as well but doesn't impart any 'additional' flavor IMO. Sprinkle it on the peel and on the stone as well. I find if I'm doing more than a couple pizzas both cornmeal and semolina I'll accumulate some granules on the pizza stone that look kinda burnt so I'll wipe them off with a damp paper towel, cloth or just a grill brush.

Jwirlwind,
Would it be a problem to do a small pizza directly on an inverted platesetter with parchment paper?

duckegg,
That's the way I did mine until I got a pizza stone. I think I cooked pizzas about five times that way. It works just fine. [p]Trouble

Trouble,
