Making pizza in your backyard has never been easier

Making pizza in your backyard is delicious, but you typically need an expensive built-in brick oven to do it.

Now, a company named Gozney is making high tech pizza ovens inspired by professional setups, but as easy as a backyard grill.

“It’s so enjoyable and it’s so customizable so you can always do things differently,” started Tom Gozney, creator of Gozney outdoor ovens.

Or you can do like I did when I got fucked up one evening and was craving a pizza but the power was out.

I piled a bunch of charcoal on one end of my smoker and when it got up to temperature, I tossed a large DiGiorno supreme pizza on the other end, a handful of wet mesquite chips on the hot coals, closed the lid and cooked it the recommended time.
Best fucking pizza I've ever eaten. Seriously, it rocked, so much so that I didn't cook another pizza in an oven until we moved out here and I got a different style of smoker.

  2. Good thing that I've built up a tolerance for such things, or I'd be feelin' real bad for having lived this long and never thought of that great idea.

    1. I'm amazed that I even thought of it as fucked up as I was.

  3. Why do people constantly ruin good food with nuts or craisians? I don't want almonds on my green beans nor cranberries on an otherwise delicious chicken salad sandwich or pecans

    1. Not everybody is like you, anonymous. Free American citizens are allowed to have different tastes than you or I. I happen to like craisins sprinkled on my salad, but I would *never* try and force them on you.

  4. I'm sure I can google 'pizza on the grill' but I'd much rather hear how you do it? low heat? medium heat? times? I can see a grill and a big green egg from where I'm sitting and think that would be an awesome way to cook pizza.

    1. Naw, you need a smoker, you know the kind that looks like a 55 gallon drum split lengthwise?
      Build a bed of coals at one end, grease your grills, and once the temps come up to the instructions on the box, toss it down at the other end of the smoker using the cooking time on the box as a general guide. Might take just a minute or two longer. Keep an eye on the temperature, keep it as stable as you can.
      Don't forget the wet wood chips on the coals. If it wasn't for them you might as well cook it in your oven.

  5. Cooking pizza on a grill is a viable method, not just a party trick. It's good to know a smoker will get her done as well.

  6. I use my webber for homemade pizza. Indirect but Hot (capital H considering the crust). Store bought, follow the box.

    Hell to the fking yeah use a few woodchips for wood smoked flavor. 👍
