Most recent pizza!
Recently followed Lark and Lola's copycat Mellow Mushroom dough recipe. Main difference here was that it used molasses versus other sugars. I don't know just how close it is but it was really good. Cold fermented for a few days.
Added store bought shredded mozz, and a small portion of italian cheese blend, and used kroger marinara for sauce. Pepperoni and japs for toppings. Not the rounded pizza ever but this is my third hand made dough pizza. I'll get there.
Prepped on parchment, removed after a few minutes on stone.
Finished it with garlic butter on the crust with parmesan.
You might notice that I stole a tug from the crust as it was cooling because im an impatient child when it comes to pizza...
Fitted the egg with my new smokeware black temp guage that I can see from inside the house. As you can see, it was perfect pizza temp!
Also, got the grill up to temp in about 45 mins with the kick ash basket installed. Faster than before! Not quite sure that the stone was 625 by this point though. Still my guess was that it was at least 550 and probably closer to 600 as it cooked the pizza in about 6 minutes.
My pizza set up is simple. Regular grill grate loaded with fire bricks laying flat. Adjustable Rig goes in with pizza stone on grid at top rung.

Cajun grilled chicken, jalapeños, fresh mozz, and the mellow mushroom dough. Best one to date! Stone around 550-575 for seven minutes.

I am no pizza expert but that is a good looking pie. On the round part, my first attempts were about every shape but round. I have found starting with a round ball of dough really helps with the final shape. After I divide my dough into equal size balls of dough, I then fold the dough over itself to get a nice round dough ball. When I start working the dough the next day or thereafter, I just start in the middle of the dough ball with my fingers and push the dough out to the edges. Flip and repeat several times. I can't flip the crust into the air or really spin it or anything but I then use my hands (fists) to stretch the dough letting gravity help the process. Hard to explain in words but there are some youtube videos around that helped me get the shape to be more circular.XL BGE
