Best Pizza Recipes

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.

Traeger Red Stagg Pizza Oven, Hits 700°f

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!

How To Smoke A Pizza On A Wood Pellet Grill + Pizza Dough Recipe

I know we’re switching gears a little bit today but I absolutely MUST share our technique for the perfect Traeger pizza because it’s perfection and the world needs to know about it.

When I say “we” I’m talking about my husband and I but let’s be honest, he does most of the work. I prep the toppings and make a side salad, he does the rest. Big shout-out to him for helping me nail down some formal instructions for this recipe!

Grilled

The Traeger is an extremely versatile wood-fired grill. You use pellets instead of gas or charcoal to fuel the fire, which means you get that classic wood-fired flavor and a nice and consistent final product. It’s also very “techy” and easy to control the temperature (from your phone), so you can “set it and forget it”.

Homemade Pellet Grill Pizza: Everything From Scratch

The website calls it a 6-in-1 appliance because you can grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and BBQ. I like to say that you can basically use it as an outdoor oven. It’s very durable and can stay outside (we have a cover for it). You can even use it in the rain. This is one of those investments that you’ll have for years and years to come.

Once summer arrives, we probably use our Traeger at least 1-2x/week to make dinner. My husband also uses it to make a cast iron skillet Dutch baby on the weekends. It’s one of my most requested brunch meals at home!

Other favorites: pulled pork, beer can chicken, wings, burgers of all types, cold smoked salmon (for bagels & lox), smoked rosemary cashews, and lot’s of grilled vegetables.

How To Cook Pizza On A Pellet Grill (the Complete Guide)

The reason we love cooking pizza on the Traeger is because it gets very hot, very quickly. For this recipe we recommend 500° F. I don’t like cranking my indoor oven that high no matter what the season so this works so much better. It’s a great spring/summer appliance when the weather starts to get nice. And it’s fun that you can impart the wood-fired flavor to your pizza too.

Start by liberally sprinkling the countertop and dough with plenty of coarse cornmeal for that added textural component (it makes a noticeable difference).

Another dough tip: if you buy it from the refrigerated section like we do, make sure you let it come closer to room temperature before you stretch it out. If you skip this step, it will spring back into a ball. Conversely, don’t let it sit out

Traeger Grilled Tri Tip Pizza

There are several ways to transfer your pizza to the grill but we like to use parchment paper. Line a cookie sheet (one with no edges) or cutting board. Once you place the uncooked pizza dough on top, use scissors to cut around it, removing excess paper. This prevents it from scorching and catching fire.

A really important step: put a pizza stone on the grill while it’s heating up so the surface gets nice and hot. This is how you get that super crispy crust on the bottom! There’s nothing worse than a floppy piece of pizza. Because you have the parchment underneath, it will be super easy to slide on and off the hot stone.

Our favorite variation is the one pictured (the first bullet point listed, and the one you’ll find in the recipe card below). We do like to get creative sometimes and try the others too. I would recommend going lighter on toppings than you think you should, so you don’t weigh down the crust. Once you make it a few times, you’ll be able to eye-ball it without a problem.

Skipping The Delivery Fees And Trying My New Pizza Stone

We never make dough from scratch because Whole Foods makes an excellent fresh dough in store and it’s just $2.99. You can also find a ball of fresh dough at Trader Joe’s or you can often buy it from your favorite pizza restaurants.

Any jarred pizza sauce or your favorite red sauce. I buy Rao’s Homemade marinara sauce from Costco so I always have it in my pantry.

How

I find that using fresh mozzarella (the one in a ball in the deli section) has too much moisture and can weigh down pizza so I use the pre-shredded variety.

I love serving this pizza with a fresh and crunchy salad or vegetable side and a glass of red wine on Friday night. It’s my favorite part of the week! The Traeger grill is definitely an investment but we sure do love ours and use it often.

Making pizza on the Traeger involves a few extra key steps, but the outcome is so worth it! This pizza has the perfect crispy crust which is sturdy enough to hold up to your favorite toppings. It’s the best way to make pizza at home.
