Pizzas

I made three pizzas tonight. This was my first run at pizza. I made a NY style pizza dough and let is rise overnight in the refrigerator. I used this recipe for my dough and sauce. I put them on the Egg at about 600 degrees (plate setter, legs down, then standard grate, then pizza stone.)
I still have some work to do on dough, configuration, etc. but overall I was happy with the results. We made three pizzas: red sauce, mozz, bacon, and caramelized onions (no pics); a standard red sauce, cheese, and basil; and one with pesto sauce (from a jar), mozz, chicken (cooked on egg, chopped, frozen a month ago, and thawed tonight), and roasted red pepper (made on egg as it heated up.)

    Kenji knows his stuff. That NY recipe is awesome. For that dough, I would suggest about 500° though. And cook for a bit longer. Maybe a bit more space between the platesetter and the pie. This is my version of the same dough/sauce...

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    @Carolina_Q About how long do you cook it at 500?

    Been awhile since I did that pie so I don't really remember exactly. Kenji says 12-15 minutes at 500° so I'm sure that's what I did. He is rarely wrong.

    Just pay attention and check the bottom form time to time.
