How can you cook a pizza on a grill, BBQ and achieve better results in a conventional oven? The theory was simple; people have been doing that since food was first heated. The practicality was questionable, not having cooked a pizza in anything but a conventional kitchen oven, with the results being less than OK. So there had to be a way of cooking, which would allow me to achieve my goals and put pizza on my menu at parties. For someone who has never made a pizza from scratch this was going to be an adventure. So if, like me, you are a novice let’s begin the adventure together.

With a little more thought, history provided the answer. Pizza stones which retain high temperature, keep the food clean and away from the direct heat source so that the pizza does not burn whilst cooking was the answer. This style of cooking has been taking place for thousands of years both at home, abroad and in some countries is still the natural way of cooking today.
A domed BBQ becomes more like a pizza oven and BBQs fuelled by charcoal, gas or electric can still be use to good effect, especially if they too have covers. Pizza Stones can be used in a conventional oven, which we are assured, will give a more realistic taste to the pizza.

The Pizza Stones, the paddles which are used to place and remove the pizza plus various other accessories can be bought individually or in kits. It was interesting to find that there are on the market several versions of the counter top oven with pizza stones and grills which can be used indoors (and as additional cooking sources outdoors) to create the perfect pizza.
How about taking a leaf out of our many cousin’s book and cook fish, meat, vegetables and a variety of breads on Pizza stones. This is where several pizza stones would come in handy. After all your preparation, you would not want your next batch of bread tasting of fish.
Once you become a Pizza aficionado there is nothing to stop you from buying or building your own Pizza Oven in your garden, many people have built their own BBQ, Grills, so why not a Pizza Oven.
