    Simple sausage and pepperoni pie tonight. 
    Your pies are looking better man.  Nice work.

    FYI to any of you that were looking to buy a Pizza Party Ardore or Bollore. They basically doubled the price. The Ardore is now $1,000 and the Bollore is around $1,900. Glad I bought when I did.
    I saw that. Hard to understand their pricing move on the Ardore in particular. Simone (the Pizza Party guy) has said the price is what it is and there won't be any more discounts. If true, I think he's priced himself right out of the smaller, portable gas fired tabletop oven market. With the Ooni Koda available on sale periodically for as little as $249 the market will say "Ciao, Ardore!"
    Still waiting for the Big Ooni, game changing announcement.

    Thank you,

    How does the sauce do after thawing? I'd love to be able to stash sauce in the freezer and it not be watery when thawed.

    @ColtsFan Definitely more watery than fresh but passable. It helps that we Vitamix'd the skin and seeds to pulp it up. Also added garlic and garden oregano+thyme.

  • Hi All - Had a very solid first pizza experience on my medium each one got better than the last. I heated the egg and the stone at around 500 for about an hour before I threw the first pizza on. We had a quite a few people over so I was planning on making a bunch. After the 3rd pizza or so the temp wouldn't get up to 500 anymore. After a while I figured out I was low on lump. Took everything out and reloaded and after 15 minutes I was ready to go. 

    I basically have one question: So heating the stone up for 45 mins to an hour seems to be must for everyone. Would I run into any issues if i had my stone in my oven for an hour and transferred it to a 500 degree egg thats been at 500 for lets say 10 mins? 

    I don't wanna run into the same issue again. On the other hand that was our first time and I would imagine we would be much more efficient/faster this time around. 

    Let me know what you think?

    How much lump did you load into the egg? When I did pizza on my medium, I loaded the lump all the way up the fire ring. At WOT, I let the egg heat-sink for an hour and that would give 60-90 minutes of cook time.

    Yea i loaded it about as high as I could go. I probably had it running for around 2 hours before the temp started to drop. Part of the issue could have been about 20 minutes total per pie as the next one was not ready to go as soon as I took the other off. Like I said though we had a lot of people so ended up making 6ish pies. The medium stone doesn’t allow for any massive pies.

    FWIW, I gave up making pizza in BGE years ago. Figure in 15 years, lump $aving would pay for the Adore, not to mention the pie quality and time saved  =)
    edit: IF it lasts that long, lol!

    Thinking of making a pizza using these sausages from Costco.  I've grilled them whole several times and enjoy them.  Thinking of using a garlic white sauce.  Anyone have a tried and true sauce they would be willing to share?

    The Roccbox NY dough recipe is legit. Great chew and flavor.

    Cool! Glad you liked it! 

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

    Blackstone pizza oven for sale again on their website. Looks like you have to buy it as a kit though and doesn’t look to be redesigned.

  • The wife is away traveling so I did the obvious thing and made a pizza for myself:



    Nduja, mozz, blue cheese, and hot honey.  God this was good.  You’ve got to try that combo of toppings.
    Looks great!! I’m sure it was delicious!

  • Nice cook on that crust!  Interesting combo of ingredients - not even sure where to find njuda here locally.
