Everybody loves Pizza right?
So as to not limit it to old fashioned style pizza - we'll go with any type of pizza/flatbread.
We'll run this one from July 23rd - August 17th.

Do your darnedest Grill Masters......
 
Congrats to the win...And whatta great catagory. We will se some great entrys this time for sure.
 
Ooh. That's a good challenge. Not so easy to make a good pizza on the grill... Good luck everyone.
 
Ok guys, I will take the first crack at this. I have been working on making my own dough for a while but baking inside but I prefer to go right on the coals. So here goes with the first post on the new site.
The prep with everything ready

Here is my wife's favorite. Yellow, red, gren peppers. Olive oil, garlic, a few small slices of red onion, and feta cheese.

And finally a shot of the crust, how thin and crisp it is going right on the grate.

Can I Enter Some Pizzas? Long.

This looks like fun and we love grilled pizza at my house. All the dough and sauce(s) was scratch made.

First a breakfast pizza. Bacon, Eggs, Sausage, Onion, Peppers, Swiss, Cheddar and Cottage Cheese. http://s1073.photobucket.com/albums/w392/Roger6026/Breakfast Pie/

Lets eat! Crispy and delicious.

Now my favorite. Deep dish stuffed crust. Sausage, Pepperoni, Mozza, and string cheese in the crust. http://s1073.photobucket.com/albums/w392/Roger6026/Deep%20Dish/

This one was "off the hook good". The stuffed crust worked perfect.

Pizza and Beer for dinner, yum!. Deep dish on the left. Bacon cheeseburger on the right. Served with garlic and parmesan breadstick and a salad.

Bruschetta Pizza.
Here's my entry. I thought I'd do a pie using the ingredients that I like on my bruschetta: tomato sauce, chevre, lemon basil pesto. The salty tang of the chevre pairs nicely with the bright, herbal punch of the pesto. It was a collaborative effort. My wife Janelle made the half whole-wheat dough with red pepper flakes and a little oregano in it. The lemon basil is from our garden; makes the best pesto!

Two fire bricks are set on the OTG, with some glowing coals.

The pie is assembled and onto the bricks with OTG lid on. Red sauce, chevre, pesto, and sprinkling of torn basil leaves, a little salt and olive oil drizzled over the top.

Nearly ready.

And sliced.

Those with sharp eyes will notice that the crust looks a bit, er, crispier than it should. I like to think of it as Cajun inspired.

OK, not my best effort technically, but the flavors were just what I was hoping for. Simple and direct. We enjoyed it... ;)
 
Oh I feel sorry for who ever has to judge the winner.... All pizza's look amazing, I am going to have to try one sometime.... Has anyone cooked one on their WSM or does it not get hot enough...... I might just have to buy a New performer.

Great looking pizza everybody.
 
Oh man that is some nice looking pie´s! Thanks for being honnest Gary. I think you could get away with that if you dident :D But since this contest is all about honor you are winning in my book.
 
Those all look fantastic! I'd declared R. Cain the winner until I saw that Natural Light in his last picture. Serious points deduction.

Yeah I agree - let's run it to the 24th

So i dont know if this has been changed or not. If it hasent then dont count this one.

Pizza:

Did a few ones yesterday.

The fire:



The dough pressed out in the same pan that i will bake it in.


Various toppings but here is one of them. Tomatoe sauce,cheese,danish Salami and olives.


My setup is: Fire around the edges(thanks Don Cash)--->Grate--->Pizza stone---->Then the thin pan with the pizza.


Nice and crispy. And no hot spots.


The thing i would change in this dough is to add sugar to brown it a bit more. Other then that it was pretty good with this setup.


Here is a slice with: Tomatoe sauce,Ham,shrooms,Olives and cheese.
