love making pizza on the Egg.  2 pies - cheese for my kids and an Italian Sausage/red bell pepper/onions/garlic with mozzarella and Asiago cheese for adults. Also made some garlic cheese breadsticks with I love. Still working on browning the top more but everything else I’m happy with.  Thanks for looking!

    Not sure about stone temp. My process is light the egg an hour before pies are to go on.  When I light the egg I go placesetter legs down, grate extender, grate, and stone on so it can get hot.  My target temp is 700 degrees.  I’m thinking maybe next time cook pies at a lower temp (maybe 550) and that will allow top to get more brown.

      That is pretty much my method too, but I am still learning.   I found if the egg is too hot the crust gets done before the toppings but not always the case so who knows.   Taking others advice I toss the pie on when the stone is around 500. Using a laser thermometer i can check stone temp from above.
      If there are any other noobs like me thinking about making pizza.... get your dough ready and toppings ready and make the pie right before your ready to throw it in the egg!   A few pizzas back I made one about 1/2 hour ahead of time right on the peel, the end result was a pizza married to a peel, it took a lot of corn meal and creativity to get them separated.

    Get the pizza as high as you can in the dome and the lower temp will also help you get the bottom and top browned just right.
