Pulled Pork Pizza on the Grill

I smoked a pork shoulder last Saturday. On Sunday I used some of the leftovers for a grilled pizza.

First up was a plain cheese pizza for the kids. All of the pizzas used a dough my wife made. I cooked them with a chimney full of Royal Oak lump, and a couple of small chunks of apple wood for four minutes each.

The kids' pizza had a standard tomato sauce.

For the pulled pork pizza, we made Alton Brown's creamy horseradish sauce (with about 4x the horseradish he calls for). Cheese, jalapenos, caramelized onions, and of course pulled pork.

For the BBQ chicken pizza, we used a honey BBQ sauce, chicken, green onions, caramelized onions and a Mexican cheese blend.

All plated up. You can see the kids got started before I could get the last picture.

All three were fantastic. One lesson learned is I need to be more diligent about sweeping up stray corn meal from the stone after each pizza. It seems to be causing some charred spots.

BurningDesireBBQ, you would do that to me and I ain't got time to fire up the cooker cause I gotta go to work. Looks like it's frozen pizza in the EBO for me. Crying or Very sad

Those look absolutely fantastic.

Great looking pizzas, Brandon. What were you cooking them on and at what temp?

Hi Griffin,

I cooked them on a pizza stone from Red Sky Grilling. It is sized and shaped for a 22.5" Weber, but fits my rectangular (now sadly discontinued) charcoal grill from BBQs Galore just fine. My cheapo IR thermometer topped out around 400° and just said "Hi" so I don't know the exact temp on the stone. I have since purchased a nicer IR thermometer from Thermoworks (along with a slick red Thermapen) so I should be able to get an accurate reading next time I fire it up.

I built a hot fire with RO lump and let the stone warm up for about 40 minutes before the first pie went on, then tossed a small chunk of apple wood onto the coals.

I gave pizzas on the grill my first attempt this weekend. They came out pretty good. The only thing I need to do differently is to roll the dought out thinner.
