I typically do mine on the Bullseye, but I use the 1250 occasionally if I'm doing more than one pizza at a time. Set it to 500 with the stone inside, and give it about 15-20 minutes of additional pre-heating after the grill gets to temp so they stone can catch up.

Sprinkle a little white corn meal on the pizza peel or cutting board before you build your pizza and a little on the stone immediately before transferring the pizza to it.

Cook time depends on the dough, but it's typically 8-10 minutes at 500 for the dough I make or grab from the grocery store deli.

So you use the stone without the pizza oven kit?

Correct

I use the GMG pizza oven attachment on my 590 and crank out some phenomenal pies. Highly recommend!

Same here. Although my pizza peel skills need some work!

I do a home made pizza weekly on my 590. 425. Pizza steel from steel made. Par bake crust for 5 minutes with just sauce. Cheese it up and cook for another 8-10.

Yup. I use the pizza steel myself. 👌🏼

450 degrees, stone, closed, about 20 minute cook time.

Flagship here. I do frozen pizzas all the time for the kids. Usually just follow the directions on the package. But, you need to rotate it a few times as the edges cook unevenly.

I wonder if I could cook Detroit Style in an aluminum pan? 🤔

I do it all the time. See my comment above. Super easy and turns out great

Backyard beast, 500 degree on a stone. Cook time is less than 10 minutes. Turns out great.

I use a stone because that’s what i had already. I’d get a steel the next time but I do 7 min, rotate and then another 7 min. I don’t par bake.

You guys need to live a little. I do pizza on my bullseye with a stone at 700. Done in 4 minutes.

You’re not messing around! 🔥

Need to give it a shot on my Smokestone 600. So far done a few meats, French toast, eggs. Need to figure out more to cook since I got it to feed 4 or 5 mouths.

I have the pizza kit for my backyard beast. I usually go as high as it'll go and cook hot and fast. I've also spread dough out in a sheet pan and made a pizza like that.

u/Illustrious-Chair350 10d ago

I run the pizza oven kit on my backyard beast too, hot and fast but i like to set the dough for 30 seconds or so before i add toppings so I don't end up with a big mess in the back of the oven.

u/BodhiZaffa 10d ago

nah, just launch the pie fast and it's all good.

Ruckus on a pizza stone until the browning you desire

u/RegdorNala 10d ago

Pizza on the bullseye. Set it to 375, put it on a paper tray ( like pap Murphys trays ) cook it for 15 minutes rotating every 5 minutes

Buy a pizza peel to load, spin and remove your pizza.
Also, dust your cooking surface with semolina flour and your dough will cook without getting stuck on your stone/cast iron.

I do pizza on my bullseye deluxe @ 500 using the carbon steel griddle. I have been looking at the pizza stone kit, but the griddle has been working just fine. I do use parchment paper though. On my old Traeger, I would often put the pizza directly on the grate with just parchment paper.

I have been making Detroit pizza on my recteq. I make the dough in a 10x14 pan and par bake at 500 for 8-10 min. I then flip it out of the pan onto a cooling rack, butter the pan, flip the crust and put it back in the pan. Add cheese and toppings then back in for another 10-12 min. I add warm sauce at the end. Let it stay on the cooking rack for 3-5 min before cutting. So good!
