Pizza without a stone?

SoCalTim

Kids want pizza tonight, told them I would do it. Problem is I don't own a pizza stone (yet). I'd hate to let them down. Thinking about buying a couple 'premade' pies from thew local Walmart for my first attempt. 

Any tips on how I can pull this off? Tim

I have grilled pizza on my gasser.  Don't see why you couldn't without a stone.

You could look for a 14" pizza pan at Wally World, perforated would be best. Cook indirect.

Oven?

^^ That too! 

Many recipes out there for a flat bread type pizza dough too.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Great idea.

Had similar problem, bought the cheap one from local chain, came with peel I didn't have also, used it, returned it after it cracked on first night, then had time to get the BGE stone.

I have done it. Go raised. If you don't have a pan a pre baked crust is easier to handle

Just get it raised good and high and cook direct. Works just fine

nothing wrong with pan pizza, either deep dish or regular, round or square, big or small

@fishlessman - The last picture...is that a cast iron pan or something else?

Use a cast iron pan,  if you have one.
