Essential Pizza Cooking Accessories

Pizza Stones & Steels: Create crispy, authentic pizza bases by absorbing moisture and distributing heat evenly. Stones suit traditional cooking, whilst steels offer faster preheating and crisper results. Essential for gas BBQs, charcoal grills, and pizza ovens.

Pizza Peels: Transfer pizzas safely in and out of hot ovens and BBQs. Metal peels work best for launching pizzas, whilst wooden peels are ideal for prep and retrieval. Proper peel technique prevents sticking and ensures perfect pizza placement.

Cutters & Tools: Pizza wheels and rocker blades for clean slicing, dough dockers for preventing bubbles, turning peels for rotating pizzas, and infrared thermometers for checking surface temperature. Quality tools make pizza cooking easier and more enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions*

What pizza accessories do I need to get started with BBQ pizza cooking?
At minimum, you'll need a pizza stone or steel to create a crispy base, a pizza peel for transferring pizzas in and out of the oven, and a cutter for slicing. A dough docker, turning peel, and infrared thermometer are useful additions. These essentials work with gas BBQs, charcoal grills, kamados, and dedicated pizza ovens.
What's the difference between a pizza stone and a pizza steel?
Pizza stones (ceramic or cordierite) absorb moisture for crispy crusts and distribute heat evenly, but take longer to preheat (30-45 minutes). Pizza steels conduct heat faster, preheat quicker (15-20 minutes), and create crispier bases with better oven spring. Steels are more durable but heavier and more expensive than stones.
How do I use a pizza peel without the dough sticking?
Dust your peel generously with semolina flour or cornmeal, which acts like ball bearings. Work quickly—don't let dressed dough sit on the peel too long. Give the peel a quick shake before launching to ensure the pizza moves freely. Metal peels work best for launching, whilst wooden peels are better for prep and retrieval.
Can I use pizza stones on any type of BBQ?
Pizza stones work on gas BBQs, charcoal grills, and kamado-style cookers, provided you have a lid to trap heat. Place the stone on the grates, preheat for 30-45 minutes, and use indirect heat for best results. Check your stone is rated for high temperatures (at least 300°C) and thermal shock resistance.
What temperature should I aim for when cooking pizza on a BBQ?
Aim for 250-300°C for Neapolitan-style pizzas with charred, blistered crusts. Lower temperatures (200-230°C) work for thicker, American-style pizzas. Use an infrared thermometer to check stone surface temperature. Kamados and pizza ovens can reach 400°C+ for authentic wood-fired results in 90 seconds.
How do I prevent my pizza stone from cracking?
Avoid thermal shock by preheating stones gradually and never placing cold stones on hot surfaces or vice versa. Don't use soap or submerge stones in water—scrape off residue and wipe clean. Allow stones to cool completely before moving or storing. Quality stones with thermal shock resistance last for years with proper care.
What's a pizza turning peel and do I need one?
A turning peel is a small, round, perforated metal peel used to rotate pizzas during cooking for even browning. It's essential for high-temperature pizza ovens where pizzas cook in 60-90 seconds and need constant attention. Less critical for BBQ cooking at lower temperatures, but useful for checking and adjusting pizza position.
Can I use BBQ pizza accessories in a conventional oven?
Yes, pizza stones, steels, peels, and most accessories work in conventional ovens. Preheat your stone or steel on the highest oven setting (usually 250°C) for 45-60 minutes. Results won't match dedicated pizza ovens or BBQs due to lower temperatures, but you'll still achieve significantly better pizzas than baking on trays.
How do I clean and maintain pizza stones?
Let stones cool completely, then scrape off stuck-on food with a plastic scraper or spatula. Wipe with a damp cloth—never use soap, which stones absorb and transfer to food. Don't worry about staining; it's normal and doesn't affect performance. Store in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption.
What's the best way to cut pizza—wheel or rocker blade?
Pizza wheels work well for thin-crust pizzas and are familiar to most people. Rocker blades (mezzalunas) cut through thick, Neapolitan-style pizzas in one rocking motion without dragging toppings. Both work; choose based on pizza style and personal preference. Sharp blades are essential for clean cuts.
Do I need different accessories for Big Green Egg pizza cooking?
Big Green Egg pizza cooking benefits from EGG-specific accessories like the convEGGtor for indirect heat, pizza stones sized for your EGG, and raised grids for better airflow. Standard pizza peels, cutters, and tools work fine. The EGG's ceramic construction and heat retention make it exceptional for high-temperature pizza cooking.
