  • Can I make pizza on the griddle is one of the most commonly asked questions that I get. So I thought I would do a full video with my thoughts on griddle pizza, while testing out three different pizza crusts on the flat top grill.
    Did the flat top grill pizza turn out okay? Of course! Is it my favorite way to make pizza? Absolutely not... but we're pretty picky about our pizza. But for all of you asking about making pizza on the Blackstone or Pit Boss griddle, this is for you!

    Well done fam!! Okay, we love the little naan bread ones (we use a specific brand that is made for pizza), but we par cook one side to get it crispy and then flip it, so it gets the side hot before you put the ingredients on, and gives it extra crunch. It’s actually my wife’s favorite way we do the pizza! But for sure, getting both sides on the griddle (similar to what you did with the raw dough) is key for griddle pizza. French Bread pizza are amazing too!

    Hi there. I don't have a blackstone griddle but I bought a griddle plate for my gas charbroil grill. Since that I have been following your recipies with great results. I am now with you with the pizza recipie and wer are doing this together. My gas grill has a top and I can make it like an oven. It is reaching more than 620 F and I have control over moderating the temp. If you try using the dome, it may help you keep the heat as an oven on top of the griddle. PS: I love you guys. You have made me a family hero at the griddle and the grill.

    I have not tried pizza on my Blackstone but I have made them on my gas grill and fresh dough works well. I just watched a video where they used a 2 ingredient dough (equal parts self rising flour and Greek yogurt). They cooked both sides of the dough then flipped it back over before adding the toppings. It looked great and all the tasters said it was very well cooked through. I'm going to try that soon. I appreciate your honesty. That's why I am subscribed.

      @@TheFlatTopKing I tried a couple pizzas using the 2 ingredient dough. Par cooked both sides before topping, 1 with pesto, chicken and cheese, one with BBQ sauce, chicken and cheese. I cooked them on medium low on my 22" adventure ready with the lid closed. I agree, I had trouble getting the cheese to melt satisfactorily. It did melt finally but it looked like it was microwaved as opposed to baked. I'm convinced the best option is to use a VERY thin crust like a tortilla and maybe use a torch to finish the cheese. Or, put it on a gas or charcoal grill to bake. I've had better success on the grill. The flat top may not be suitable for everything (there, I said it 😆)

    I'm with you on this, if I'm putting the effort in to make a pizza from scratch I'm doing it right in a oven, preferably on a baking steel. Though I'm pizza obsessed enough that I bought a pizza oven. But i could see its use while traveling or maybe make mini ones on the griddle as appetizers while I'm making other appetizers on it because then the convenience of one tool instead of running between the griddle and the oven comes into play.

    I’ve made pizzas about 3 or 4 times now, they are getting better. Store bought dough like you used. I brown both sides with brushed on olive oil, then build back in the kitchen.
    On the griddle surface is only a minute give or take before I put it on the wire grates similar to yours, Neil.
    The key is having a lid to bring the heat to cook the top. (Tip?) Last ones, I squirted water under them and closed the lid (a couple times) until baked to preference on top.

    Ok from someone who grew up living off of the classic NYC slice...
    I use Boboli, or similar all the time on the grill and it's excellent, I'll try the griddle and dome it.
    Never did naan, but I like the idea. Maybe pita, or even bagels as well.
    The fresh dough looked great. Def have to par cook on one side, I'd probably sprinkle with cornmeal, would almost act like "lube" on the griddle, plus it's a bit old school.
    For me, fresh dough needs a ton of heat tho. We have a pizza stone in the oven, and crank it to max (550). I like well done pizza like you. And thank God you used fresh parm! And tell Amy to never mention Domino's again!
    All in all a great comparison, and success. There wasn't one that was bad!

    As an amateurish pizza/calzone/Stromboli maker, I like this vid! I actually got a Bakerstone pizza box (it was like $100 bucks!) that directly fits on my Weber grill for this purpose alone and it has done quite well! A few thoughts on your technique though: 1. For raw or even sticky dough use Semolina flour or cornmeal (depending on your preference) as it helps with sticking and adds a unique flavor like pizzerias do. 2. Great idea getting the pies off the flat top but try doming it with a touch water to steam the top a bit. it's not the same as direct top heat but would work fine if a flat top is all you have and or your camping. You should try a calzone and or Stromboli next :)

    Great job brother demonstrating those three different pizza doughs. I prefer to use the premade on the griddle top, other than that I use my weber kettle grill for cooking pizzas, and I’m still experimenting on that. On those premade like you said start it on the top side and get a little crisp on it, then flip it over put your toppings on etc. my absolute favorite way is using tortillas and making tortilla pizzas, but that doesn’t really taste traditional. I’m like you, there’s definitely better ways to make a pizza than using a flat top! 👊🏻🍻

    I think a kettle grill is the best outdoor vessel to cook a pizza in, save for a brick or pizza oven. You can get a nice collar that goes on top and allows you to add more charcoal and also comes with an extra grate so you can cook veggies, wings, etc. Completely agree with the need for top heat and the kettle grill is awesome for that purpose.

    One tip for pizza on the griddle...dont open the top, you are letting necessary heat out to cook to that golden crust color you want, also try a pizza screen as we do, allows air flow underneath the pizza.
    There are also small pizza paddles for getting the pizza to and from your griddle easier.

    We used to do something similar. But we would melt the cheese with the crust on the Rack first, then at the end, Brown the Crust on the grill. Also, you can melt a little cheese on the top for a few minutes first (to seal the crust so it doesn't get soggy)... then put on the Sauce, more cheese and toppings. I hope that sorta makes sense : )

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing your pizzas. I make pizza every Sunday with the Publix dough in the oven and homemade sauce. We love it. We bought a Loco griddle ( nightmare from Home Depot) anyway. But you’re the first one I have watched that has put real dough on the griddle. I was hoping it would work on the griddle because we live in Florida and the house gets really hot with the oven. I can see that we wouldn’t like it. I guess you really need a pizza oven ( hint the name). I will have to say I’m not a griddle fan yet… it’s only been a couple months so I guess I need to give it more time. I love to cook and bake so that’s not the problem. Thanks again for sharing. It’s been a great help.

      @@TheFlatTopKing we are a family of 4. My husband, myself, and 2 sons 25 and 21. They eat a lot of meat. When I fix smash burgers there’s a ton of grease, I don’t like that. I don’t like the hot and cold spots. I guess I need to work with it more and I will get use to it. We actually ended up with 2 , 2 burner griddles. We ordered from Home Depot and they kept coming in damaged. So when we went in to take the 3rd one in we asked if they would kept it till the 4th one comes in to see if that one was damaged and if so maybe we could swap out parts. I really wanted a griddle and it was our Anniversary gift. So the 4th came in it was damaged 🤪. We went back with damaged hood and tools in hand to swap out. The manager was so nice that she said just take it and use what you can. So we ended up with 2 griddles with one that the hood is dented and they kept taking down the price till we only had $320 out of pocket. So great deal in the long run but a lot of hassle. I will keep working till I get it down. Thanks for asking. 🌴

      @@tabathagraham1117 obviously that sucks. If u can interject a quick thought and this has been said many times.
      Your point on the fat from burgers.
      The amount of fat is the same regardless what you cook on. If it 80/20 or 95/5.
      When using other equipment like a charcoal or gas grill the fat drips through the grates and is unnoticeable.
      With a griddle the fat has no where to go so you will see a ton of it. That is actually a good thing. Just ugly to see.
      Although a lot of fat is noticeable, it’s rendering out. Just scrape it in your grease trap and your good.
      Some positives about griddles with some big mouths to feed is it can cook a bunch of food at once. One big skillet. Just keep your head up. Heck to be honest you may not like it at all. I can imagine its not for everyone. I just hate you had a bad experience to start out. Reach out if I can help you in the future.

    Even with the store purchased crust or the Nann, I would suggest precooking one side, flip and then add toppings to precooked side and allow to finish bake.
    I have thought about but not tried the following? Could you place a large stone pizza stove raised 2-3”off the griddle( use of small bricks, or metal cubes?), preheat griddle and stone and then add pizza to griddle so it is cooked from the griddle and from the stone that is on top of it?

    We always have tortillas and sauce, so we often do a quick tortilla pizza (I’m a thin crust guy). It’s easier in the oven, but with a cooling rack and a dome, it’s doable on the flat top. Besides, it can always be folded and made into a pizza-quesadilla. Form follows function…
