First Pizza

Made the Traeger Margarita Pizza tonight and it was delicious. Didn’t look the best but it was good. Will make that one again.

Looks great. I'm new to Traeger but have done plenty of pizzas in my Big Green Egg. Was wondering how pizzas would turn out on a Traeger since you can't get the high temps that you can in a ceramic cooker. You've inspired me to try it out soon. ?

Thanks for sharing! Your plated pic convinces me to add this to my list. Nice job.

Thanks guys! The only things I would do different next time is to use more flour on the dough to get it to roll out better and also to start the pizza assembly right on the pizza stone. Trying to transfer a sticky dough onto a hot pizza stone on the grill is impossible to do well. Definitely do it guys. It was good.

You need a pizza peel. The stone should be in the oven or smoker getting hot as the cooker heats up. Then transfer the pizza to the hot stone.

Already have one on my Amazon wish list. Do you prefer a wood one or metal?

I don't have an actual peel yet, so have been using a large spatula. But, I'm going to make one with some different woods - cherry and maple. I'm a woodworker, so . . .

I’m a woodworker too so now you got me thinking and apparently I have a new project to add to my list. Haha

We have a way of finding projects to add to our list, don't we? lol

This is the one I'm planning to make:

Pizza Peel

At first glance, this pizza peel looks quite simple — just a flat, glued-up paddle with an integral handle. But take a closer look and there are a few details to work out. For one, the handle and paddle are made separately and connected by a curved, splined joint. This requires shaping these two...

Definitely use a peel. I love this one: https://www.amazon.com/EXO-Non-Stick-Polymer-Sealed-Super/dp/B00NGOOM6K

since the ”slide” is washable I even use it for loading hamburgers on to the grill to minimize the time the lid is open.
