Do you turn your pizza?

Made a great BBQ Chicken pizza today but the crust bunt on one side. It was the back of the egg. The front was great. I used plate setter legs down and an extender to get the pizza high in the dome ( about 3 inches above the felt line ) and cooked at about 625 for 10 minutes. I figure if I turn it at the 5 min mark next time I should get a nice even cook.

I don't but it won't hurt if you do

Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

I do turn them and I make sure that one leg of the plate setter is at the 12:00 o'clock position so it deflects the heat from the back.

I keep my BGE pizza stone in the center of the grate which is at felt level and do not have to turn them.

Occasionally I'll turn if needed to get the crust evened out.

Me too. But I wouldn't recommend if you don't like burned cheese. If you cover with carrots, it will work.

Flipping half way through is a great way to cook the toppings quickly.
