Can You Cook Pizza in a Kamado BBQ?

If you're a Kamado grilling fan, chances are pretty good that you've thought about cooking pizza on your Kamado BBQ. After all, what could be better than grilled pizza? The answer is: not much!

Cooking pizza on a Kamado grill is actually pretty easy, and once you get the hang of it, you'll be cranking out pizzas like a pro in no time. Here's what you need to know to get started.

Just follow these simple tips and you'll be able to cook up perfect pizzas right in your Kamado BBQ.

How To Cook Pizza In A Kamado BBQ

First, make sure you have a good pizza stone. This will help transfer heat evenly to the pizza crust and prevent it from sticking to the Kamado grill. Preheat your Kamado grill to about 260 degrees Celsius - this will ensure that the pizza cooks quickly and evenly.

Once your Kamado grill is preheated, place the pizza stone on the grates and then carefully slide your pizza onto it. 

Use a pizza scoop/peel to protect your hands and arms. If you’re having trouble using the peel to remove or insert the pizza, then add some cornstarch or flour to its surface to reduce stickiness. 

It’ll cook very fast! Take it out once the crust and toppings start to slightly brown and take it out while the crust is still soft but after it is cooked. 


If you like a well-done crust, just cook it a bit longer.

Make sure your top and bottom damper vents are fully open and close them when needed, or when the oven is too hot. You can use a pizza stone or not. Turn once halfway through cooking.

Using a stone base allows you to distribute the heat around your pizza pie evenly and it absorbs excess moisture, allowing your pizza to cook perfectly without interference. In fact, many people believe that cooking pizza in a Kamado BBQ is the best way to get that perfect wood-fired flavour.
