Me and the wifey made a couple of pizzas on the egg for the first time last night. It was not bad but we definitely have a ways to go on the crust. The best news was that we used the 14" stone on the medium without toasting the gaskets.

    Congrats on your first pizza. I too have a great deal to learn wrt the dough. I started using premade dough from Giant in the interim. My boys rate it equal to Costco pizza - not a great recommendation :blush:

    Good luck!

    Too funny. Yeah I wanted to use the feet as a spacer b/w the plate setter and the stone but couldn't find them. I fully expected the bottom to be black!

    I'd rate ours better than a frozen pizza and worse than papa johns. Nowhere near mellow mushroom (our favorite). I like costco pizza!

    We all like Costco pie too, but when evaluating pies my guys use a pizza restaurant in the Bronx we go to before Yankee games as the gold standard - a high hurdle to jump in deed.

    Yeah that's my goal, to be able to cook something that tastes authentic. You just can't get that in a regular oven. We'll get there. I am finding that the more I get Sarah (wife) involved, the less inclined she is to roll her eyes at my obsession! :lol:

    Trudat! My wife's grateful I'm cooking. So she just smiles and accepts my addiction. Sort of a husband with benfits if you know what I mean :whistle:

    Your first time is way better than my first 20 times! :laugh: I begged for help on this forum and got tons of advice. I finally cooked one worth eating last night and will be posting later. With your first time like this, you will be an expert next pizza cook!
