papa murphy's pizza

    Today was my first shot at cooking a Papa Murphy's on our new large egg. I was actually feeling alittle intimidated on how to cook it after reading all the different suggestions on proper steps here, but took the suggestions from our dealer and it turned out perfect!

    Plate setter, legs down - pizza stone directly on top, got the temp up to 500. Placed the pizza with the cardboard on the pizza stone. After 6 minutes, took the pizza and cardboard plate off and tossed some corn meal on the pizza stone. Slid the pizza off the cardboard onto the pizza stone and let cook for another 20 minutes, spinning it once on the stone. We don't have a pizza peel, yet, so had to use two spatulas to transfer it to a cutting board. The toppings were perfectly cooked and the crust was crispy but not burnt.

    Needless to say we won't be making pizza in the oven again.

    I like the zombie threads.  You get to read posts from people who don't come around here no more.  Something something other forum.

    I always cook in the tray for about 5 min then slide it off directly onto my pizza stone.

    I use CGS raised grid direct heat leaving the tray in place for approx 10 min.

    Yea i was researching pizza cooks last night. I forgot I was in a time warp thread. Bought a whole foods premade cooler pizza and it was not good. Got home and realized that the dough was some kind of thick tough tackbread type crap. Anyway, I shouldve gone with Papa Murphys or making it myself. When I bought my AR rig, I went with the 13" stone and that sucks because all dinner sized pizzas for two are at least 14" so now I either gotta manipulate the pizza or buy a bigger stone.

    We had Pappa Murphy's at my sister's place in Murfreesboro. It was cooked in the oven and tasted ok, but I found the crust to be rather thick & chewy. My wife makes our dough from scratch and rolls it pretty thin, so it comes our thin & crispy on the egg. I didn't order the pizza, so I'm not sure if you can request thin crust. The toppings tasted great, and I bet it would have come out much better on an egg.

    Here's my set up for pizza.  Plate setter feet down and bge feet under the pizza stone for air gap.  We like the Papa murphy's large pan pizza and leave them in the pan for entire cook.  Heat the stone for 30 minutes and cook around 550 until crust is crispy. Sometimes throw on some wood  chucks for smokey  favor

    Sure you can order thin crust! Only thing that is different is they don't load a thin crust signature pizza with as much in toppings as a thin crust can not hold the weigh. BTW we much prefer the thin over their thick anyway. If you get the chance order a thin crust  cowboy - our favorite.

    sendin you a PM n a couple minutes.

    PM does a daily $5 deal where they take a smaller pie and stretch it to a 14" and do one topping. It results in a nice thin crust and you save a lot of money.

    I like a thin, crispy crust.  That, paired with the lower price, sounds really good!

    I get these often.  If I'm really hungry it makes a good meal for one; with salad it makes two good lunches.  I don't think I can make a pizza from scratch for that price.

    I cook pizzas on my large BGE with an inverted plate setter and pizza stone on top. I use some corn meal to keep the dough from sticking and cook at 550 degrees.  Once you have pizzas on the BGE, you will never want to make them any other way.  Below is a pic of my pizza set up.  Good luck.

    I agree... We've had good luck leaving the paper on for about 10 minutes or so, shielding the crust from overcooking... Then we pull the paper tray and cook on a cornmeal sprinkled pizza stone for about another 6-7 minutes. Wish I could remember the temp... I think we tried to stick to the package directions... 425 degrees... And Isn't their tagline "Love at 425 degrees"?

    You don't need to bother with the cornmeal; dough won't stick to a hot stone.

    Quick question about a pizza I'll make tonight - it will have sausage pieces on it. Should I pre-cook the sausage?
    Thanks!

    Does anyone think that free BGE is still up for grabs?

    I’m guessing someone won it and then immediately sold it, that seems to be what PM fans do.
