When you think of wood-fired pizza, you might imagine a cozy trattoria, but with a Traeger pellet grill, you can achieve that same delicious taste right at home. Here’s how to make the perfect grilled pizza.
Absolutely! Grilling pizza on a pellet grill, especially a Traeger, enhances the flavor with pure wood pellets, making the process easy and the results delicious.
While not necessary, a pizza stone helps distribute heat evenly, resulting in a crispy crust. Preheat the stone on the grill grates at 450°F to 500°F for the best results.
If you don’t have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet or grill the pizza directly on the grates. Preheat the grill to ensure the crust gets a quick burst of heat, firming it up before adding toppings.
A fresh pizza typically grills in about 12 minutes, depending on the grill’s temperature. A hotter grill will cook the pizza faster.
Check the bottom of the crust every few minutes to prevent burning. Alternatively, flash-grill the dough at high temperatures before lowering the heat to cook the toppings.
Grilling a frozen pizza is straightforward. Set the grill to the recommended temperature on the packaging and cook until the crust is crispy and the cheese melts.
Stronger flavors like hickory are perfect for meaty pizzas, while milder pellets like alder suit vegetarian pizzas to avoid overpowering delicate toppings.
Grilling pizza on a pellet grill can bring a wood-fired flavor to your homemade pizzas. Whether you use a pizza stone or not, preheating and monitoring the crust are key. Experiment with different wood pellets to complement your toppings, and enjoy a variety of delicious grilled pizzas.
