Cooking Directions

  • Preheat your Grill to slate temp of 650-700 degrees
  • When stone is preheated, we recommend keeping the temperature at the same setting to help ensure consistent temp and easy recovery during cooking
  • Building the pizza – this process should take 1-2 minutes max
    • Fast building will ensure the dough doesn’t get wet (from toppings) and stick
  • Allow the dough to soften at room temp for approx. 15 minutes from the fridge
  • Hand stretch the dough to a very thin dough and place onto the floured pizza peel
  • Top as follows:
    • Pesto Sauce
    • Parm/Mozz cheese mixture
    • Prosciutto, Sliced
    • Asparagus, Tips and Stalk pieces (no woody party of stalk)
    • Shallots, Shaved
    • Goat Cheese, Crumbled
    • Sliced Roma Tomatoes
  • Open the lid/cover and load the pizza onto the middle of the pizza stone, close lid/cover
  • Keep the temperature at the same setting to help ensure consistent temp and easy recovery during cooking
  • After 30-45 seconds, open the door and slowly put the pizza peel under the pizza
  • Rotate the pizza 180 degrees and cook the other side of the pizza, approx. 45-60 minutes
  • Continue to cook the pizza to your desired doneness – Process should take approx. 1 more minutes
    • Close lid/cover
  • Open the lid/cover and remove from the oven onto the pizza peel
  • Slide onto your cutting board and cut into 8-10 slices or into squares
  • Garnish with the fresh chopped parsley
  • Pizza can be made using par baked pizza dough, or store bought fresh dough
    • For par baked pizza dough, reduce cooking time to 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling
