And now, my first pizza!

As I continue through the rites of passage, I present my first pizza, actually two identical ones. Store bought crust and sauce for now until I get more experience. Italian 5 cheese pack from Publix, prosciutto, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, and sliced plum tomato. 10 minutes at 600 degrees. REAL FINE! (The stuff on the upper right of the cooked pizza picture is some corn meal I spilled.)

Way to go. Looks pretty good! I just can't get enough of pizza on the egg. My one suggestion... Make sure the egg is good and hot!

Looks great for a first time! I liked making my own dough but I've become lazy and now buy it from a grocery store near here.Large BGE

Looks real fine from here! Love the combination of toppings. What kind of crust...Mama Mary's?Publix around me sells the dough balls if you want that "home made" look . They are kind of a pain to stretch out. You have to leave them out of the fridge for a while before they are pliable.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Looks good. Pizza is my favorite thing off the Egg. So many different ways to do it - Chicago Deep Dish, Pan, Detroit Style, NY Style, Thin Crust. One of my best thin crusts was with store bought dough (Wegman's) using a CI pizza pan.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

Hey I've never made a pizza before. What type of pan is everyone using? Or y'all just putting it on the rack? Are you using the plate setter or is this gone on open flame? Help I want pizza

Good cook, nice pie.If you liked the store bought crust, continue with that for a few cooks, vary the toppings and sauce, experiment. Next step is your own dough with the toppings you have learned to love.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Help I want pizzaThere are many variations on this but it will get you started! Some people like to cook at a bagillion degrees for 20 seconds but I find 500 works for me .Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
