Thin Crust Pizza - some useful hints and tips !

I wish I had read this thread this afternoon. My first Pizza attempt with pizza on the BGE ended up as a ball of mess destined for the trash. I laid my pizza out before the I lit the egg and it handily attached itself to my peel. The second pizza was a huge success though, Whew! I need to do I little less live and learn and a little more read and learn. We are having fun though.

I've done the twice baked a few times. It made cooking pizza on the boat so much easier. Just add sauce, cheese, ect... to the shell and bake it until the cheese melts.

Welcome @IslandPilot‌ ! You'll see lots of ways to cook pizza on the egg on this forum. It's so darned good!

I done worse. A few years ago I had a pizza on the peel and was going to cook it in the oven. Had the peel in my right hand. Opened the oven door with my left hand. As I bent down to pull the oven rack out the pizza slid off the peel onto the oven door.

Had to fire up a new pizza.

I use parchment and pull it about 45 sec's after placing on the stone. Works fine for me. Something else is you can cook pizza very high in the Egg with one stone only.

You mean direct?  Is that sustainable or are you just catching the stone while it's still cooler than the dome on the way up?
