I know we used to talk about this a little bit but haven't seen anything on it here yet so I figured let's get the discussion going. Kind of bringing this one back from the archieves to be fair.

Smoked pizza is excellent and probably some of the best pizza I have ever had. It's fairly simple to do and well worth it.

He's a shot of the lump fired up:

This is called a Philly Cheese Steak before and after:

It was outstanding. This was done with indirect heat, applewood and a pizza stone to boot.

I know Ken/Texas Hunter has some experieince here as others do so let's get a Smokin Pizza thread going.

That looks great. I got a dirty look the other day from my wife when I mentioned putting her pizza stone in the smoker. I guess I gotta get one of my own. :bounce:

Yum... and cool how the camera interpets the intense infrared spectrum of light coming from the lump... :{)

Looks excellent Abelman!! :drooling:
Very cool pic of the fire!

Nice very nice,now i'm hungry again:drooling:

Rock on Man! That pizza be lookin good!

Oh yeah. That looks great! Gotta do this one real soon. Thanks for posting it.

Looks mighty tasty! I wish I had a few slices of that right now to go with my after work cocktail!:banana_smiley:

She's prolly right...unless you want the next 20 pies coming off that stone to be "smoked". Those things are porous as all get-out.

NEVER use soap or detergents on them.

Yeah she is careful with it. She has a whole bunch of Pampered Chef stonewhere-pizza stone, baking dishes, ect. She is very protective of it. She even watches over my shoulder as I do dishes to make sure it doesn't get soap near it.

It looks real good Abe. Do you have an idea as to what temp even though indirectly you were smokin at?. I am real picky with my pie's and I place the pizza on a stone in a 500 degree oven.

Thanks guys,

As far as the stones go, we have two. One from Pampered Chef my wife got years ago. The other one we got was from Bed Bath and Beyond and it was much cheaper. Can't tell a difference between the two except the shape.

They have been really well seasoned and never washed, just scraped every once in awhile. Funny thing is, I had to remind my wife for awhile not to wash them.

Honestly, once well seasoned, I don't notice a degree of smoke being absorbed. That said, these were seasoned in the oven and get used on a regular basis.

Yeah, I did this at 425

Thanks, I should give this a shot. Being at a slightly lower temp would give that little extra smoke kick from the little extra time it takes to bake. OK where is my list.

Oh wow is that a treat I'm glad you brought back!! Wish you lived close enough to deliver :cool:

Sorry Laurel, but I will be passing through in May and July. I figure if I bring any pizza with me, it won't last through the trip :bounce:

Looks great! Did you make your own dough?

Looks great! Did you make your own dough?

Thanks but I didn't make the dough. I actually got the pizza from Papa Murphy's which make them to order and you do the cooking or in this case, the smoking. Around here with 2 little guys running around, life can move kind of fast sometimes.

However, I do have a dough recipe that I haven't tried yet:


"The brown sugar helps the crust brown on the pizza stone.

4 cups regular flour
1 packet instant yeast
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 ½ C warm water
1 Tbsp EVOO

Mix dry ingredients and then add water in stand mixer to make a dough.
kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Put dough in a large bowl, coated with oil (I use more EVOO) and let rise to double, cut in half and let rise again. Press out into pizza base. "

Give it a shot and tell me how it goes.

Dam* ... now i'm hungry. That'll teach me to read these food post at 3:30 in the morning!! :drooling::drooling: Very nice job Ableman. Thanks for starting this thread!!
