A quick primer on grilled pizza theory: When a typical pizza goes into an oven, it’s being cooked with indirect heat, which is to say it’s the hot air around it that’s actually doing the cooking. Obviously, grills use direct heat. This seems like a problem. However, since pizzas are typically cooked at such a high heat — a thin-crust Neapolitan might be in an 850 degree oven for only 90 seconds — your grill is almost better suited to create those conditions than a standard home oven.
As long as you know the tricks to employ and the traps to avoid, you can have some beautifully charred pizza in no time.
