My first attempt at a pizza cook with my new stone for my birthday was a complete disaster. Pure charcoal, the pizza crust that is. Made some adjustments based on advice from a few friends that cook pizza on the regular. Not on eggs but know pizza. Followed that advice and nailed it. Couldn't be happier.

Made it up, the dough was from publix made fresh daily. Other than that just chose a sauce and added fresh garlic and onion on the sauce, then cheese, then shrooms, then boars head deli style pepperoni and a little more cheese. Here's the dough if you have access to a Publix.

Looks perfect!

Good job. Pizza can be difficult to "master". Yours looks great.

That looks Bellissimo! Could you fill us in on the particulars? How long to get the dome temp consistent? What temp did you settle at? did you use dome thermometer or IR gun to check pizza stone temp? And, finally, how long did you cook it for?
Thanks in advance, I am contemplating my first pizza cook soon so I can use all the help I can get!

I have found that with Publix dough you need to cook at a lower temp (450-500) or it will burn easily. Not sure what the OP did but that's just my experience.War Damn Eagle!

@flyerdoc I preheated the egg to 450-500 and kept it stable for about thirty minutes with the stone on the platesetter with the platesetter legs up to provide the air gap. Stone was sitting on the grate that was sitting on the platesetter. I didnt check the stone temp at all. I just tossed the pizza and let it go for about 10 minutes before i started checking it. Noticed a hot spot on one side so turned it as the edges browned to my liking. Once all sides were nice and brown i took off. Didnt really time the cook just went by feel and sight. I tend to cook better that way. Hope this helps a little. I wasnt too particular about a set temp just didnt want to get over 500 for any of the cook since my first attempt was a major fail and straight up charcoal. Make sure you have a pizza peel, makes it so much easier. Didnt have one for the first attempt.Franklin, Tn

Ok, thanks @TN_Sister_State that makes sense. I am going to do my first one on this Friday, the only difference is that I will be using a small grate elevator to set the stone on, in an effort to get it a little higher into the dome. I will take some photos and show my progress on another thread...assuming I don't toast the darned thing
