Talk about a perfect gift for pizza lovers! Cooking homemade pizza on a grill gives it wonderful flavor, a crispy crust, and deliciously charred spots on the bottom. In fact, grilled pizza is some of the best pizza I've ever had. The only problem is, grilling pizza on a charcoal or gas grill can be difficult. With the KettlePizza Deluxe USA outdoor pizza oven kit, it has never been easier to quickly grill a homemade pizza with nearly perfect results.
Since I had never attempted to grill a pizza before, I was a little nervous trying it out for the first time. To my surprise, the KettlePizza oven kit was so easy to use and required almost no pizza grilling experience. After a quick installation of the grill attachment, I was able to make three (almost perfect) pizzas.
This kit is valued at $219 and includes the grill attachment, which fits an 18.5 and 22.5 inch charcoal grill, an aluminum pro-grade pizza peel, and a 15" Cordierite stone. You don't have to be an experienced griller to use it. The grill attachment fits perfectly between the grill and the lid and the provided stone heats up to cook the pizza evenly. The pizza peel makes it easy to place the pizza on the grill and turn it for even cooking.
The beauty of this kit is that it allows the grill to get very hot because you don't lose heat when taking the lid on and off. Although you can use wood to get a better flavor, I simply used charcoal and was able to get the temperature up to 600 degrees F with wonderful results. Unlike cooking in the oven, each pizza only took about seven minutes to cook! Since they cook so quickly and taste so amazing, this kit would be perfect for hosting a party. Assemble the pizzas ahead of time and you'll be able to cook them in rapid succession. Your guests will rave about the taste of the pizzas and the fun concept of making them outside.
Whether you make your own pizza crust or buy one, the KettlePizza cooks it to perfection. I used a store-bought thin crust and it came off the grill wonderfully crispy with the toppings cooked perfectly. The bottom of one of my pizzas was charred, but it didn't taste burnt at all! This is one of the best methods to get a crispy crust without overcooking the toppings or scorching the sauce.
Don't be intimidated by using a grill to make homemade pizza - I'd say the KettlePizza is just as easy to use as an oven! Not only does grilled pizza taste better, but with this outdoor grilling kit, it will be ready in under 10 minutes!
