Pizza Pizza!
Nothing like pizza on a cool night. Shots of the set up area, pizza construction, cooking and random slices. I did this on my medium @ 600 degrees. I removed my SmokeWare top and used the bottom vent to control temperature. Placesetter feet down with stone right on top. I know some people elevate it, I don't. Each pie took about 7-8 minutes. When the top looks good and the crust is firm, she's done.

Nice 'za. What was your dough recipe? And did I follow correctly that you have no air gap between the PS and pizza stone?

MO_Eggin, I usually use the dough recipe in the Green Egg Cookbook - fast, easy and really good dough. But I used dough from a local Italian restaurant - totally on a whim I asked about it. Next time - back to the BGE recipe. And, correct, no gap between pizza stone and placesetter. Always done it this way and have never had a problem with overcooking the crusts.

Nice work. With that title, I thought you might've made a run to Little Caesers.

The no air gap is interesting. Personally, I’ve never made pizza on the Egg I’ve been happy with. I’ve tried numerous setups all resulting in undercooked tips and burned bottoms. I’ve tried so many that I can’t recall whether I’ve done stone on PS with no gap. I think I have, but I may just follow your MO to be sure.

Air gap between the indirect plate and the pizza stone helps reduce crust burning. If you tend to burn your crusts, going to no air gap isn't likely to help you. Raising the pizza stone higher is the first response to burnt crust to get the balance you need.

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
Temperature may be another issue for burning the crusts. I typically cook between 550 and 600 degrees. Also, don't make the crust so thin that overcooking is a fait accompli. Or, likewise, the toppings so thick that it requires extra time to cook those.

Got my egg last week and did my first Pizza last night - delighted. Just wondering about how to get rid of the burnt flour/semolina/polenta on the stone in between each pizza. Used the peel in the end but anyone got a brush or other solution?
