Best Traeger Pizza Stone To Use: Top 5 Options For Perfectly Cooked Pizza

I do have a technique for grilling pizza, that I’ll share one day soon, that involves grilling pizza directly on grill grates. But it’s not the easiest to maneuver raw pizza dough directly on the grill. So I suggest using a baking sheet or pizza stone when making pizza on a wood pellet grill.

Find pizza dough at your local grocery store or bakery. You can use any premade crust or store bought pizza dough for this recipe. I easily find fresh Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s pizza dough. You can also make your own homemade pizza dough by hand or with one of those popular KitchenAid attachments.

. It’s Made In France and is perfect for not only smoking pizza in the Traeger, but also making a killer pepperoni pizza in the oven. It’s actually safe to use on gas grills, charcoal grills, pellet grills, and natural wood grills up to 900 degrees F. That’s almost twice as high as your typical oven will get. And it’s attractive to use as a pizza serving dish, too. See it on amazon.

It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature.

How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.

While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

Easy Traeger Pita Pizzas

The secret to cooking homemade pizza on a pellet grill isn’t about the recipe or even the use of a pizza stone: The secret to cooking pizza on a pellet grill the easy way is simply using a pizza peel, also known as a pizza paddle.

For cooking homemade pizza on my Traeger pellet grill, I now use a Weber Pizza Paddle. It makes a world of difference and is well worth the investment. For quick answers about cooking homemade pizza on a pellet grill, jump to our Pellet Grill Pizza FAQ at the bottom — or read on more detail!

When you’re ready to make your homemade pizza, all you have to do is sprinkle some cornmeal on your counter and then rollout your dough on it. Then you top off your pizza dough with sauce and your chosen meats, veggies and cheese. At this point, you should be able to scoop up your pizza with a pizza peel or pizza paddle to move it to your pellet grill. If you struggle to scoop it up, for example, if you’ve managed grind the dough into the counter so that the pizza paddle doesn’t get under your dough very easily and it sticks, you can sprinkle a bit of cornmeal onto the paddle and try again. This little trick seems to work well.

Another option is to rollout your dough first with flour, then sprinkle the pizza peel or paddle itself with cornmeal, then lift the dough onto the pizza paddle directly. Once on the paddle, you can add sauce and dress the pizza with toppings. Both ways work well for me with the Weber Pizza Paddle.

To cook the pizza on your pellet grill, preheat your pellet grill to 450-500 degrees. If your Traeger maxes out at 450 degrees, don’t worry about it — I cook pizza on my Traeger Pro 575 at 450 degrees and it works well.

Use the pizza paddle to slide the pizza directly onto the grill grates. If the pizza dough sticks to the pizza paddle, tug the far end of the dough to get it moving. For particularly large pizzas, including pizzas heaped with toppings, you can take a typical household turner and slide it between the pizza dough and the pizza paddle at the end of the paddle. Then, once you’re ready to put the pizza on the grill, you can use the smaller turner to lift and pull the pizza off the paddle and onto the grill. Like most things in life, there’s a bit of a technique that you’ll have to learn through trial-and-error: If you’re smart enough to cook with fire, you’re probably smart enough to figure it out. Do what works for you!

Either way, the key to making pizza on a pellet grill easy is using the pizza paddle. I’ve used thin cutting boards to transfer pizzas and used multiple pancake turners and used two people and four hands at once, but ultimately, the investment in a pizza paddle will make the process so much easier.

It’ll take about 10-12 minutes to cook your pizza on a pellet grill. Try not to open the grill and look at it too often because you’ll drop the grill temperature each time you do. I prefer to cook the pizza long enough so that the outer crust is just starting to blacken with just a bit of burn on the thinnest edges. In this way we can get a nice crispy thin crust. If you like thicker, more doughy crust, use thicker dough or a pizza stone.

You might think that a pellet grill pizza will taste smoky, but it doesn’t because you’re not really smoking it low and slow like you might with other foods. What you get is a slightly wood-fired taste, very mild. In our experience, the taste is much better than cooking pizzas in our oven inside our homes, but let’s face it, it isn’t quite as a great as what you get from a true super high-heat wood-fired pizza oven at your neighborhood pizzeria. However, you’re making it yourself, at your own home, and hopefully with guests and kids who get to help make the pizzas. The experience is just as good as the pizza.

You can use a good pizza stone on your pellet grill. In my experience, it’s easier to get the crispy crust we like best without a stone, but a stone works if you preheat the stone when you turn on your pellet grill.

1. Place the pizza stone on your grill when you start your grill. This will help preheat the stone while the grill reaches 450 degrees or so. (If you have a high-quality stone, you can go to 500 degrees, assuming the stone and your grill is rated for it.)

2. For a crispy crust, make sure the stone has been on the grill for a half hour — long enough to make sure it’s good and hot. If you can’t wait that long, you can still cook the pizza on a stone, but the dough won’t be as crisp.

4. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Once the crust browns and the cheese melts, your pizza is done. For a crispier pizza, let the edges of the crust just start to blacken and the cheese just start to brown.

5. Remove the pizza with your pizza peel or paddle on a large cutting board and use a pizza wheel to cut it into manageable slices. Enjoy and repeat!
