Big Green Egg Pizza Accessories - Authentic Pizza Oven Perfection
Transform your Big Green Egg into a professional pizza oven with premium pizza accessories. The Big Green Egg's ceramic construction retains heat like a traditional pizza oven, reaching temperatures of 260-400°C+ for authentic Neapolitan-style pizza with crispy crusts, perfectly melted toppings, and that distinctive charred flavour. Add wood chips to your lump charcoal for subtle smoky notes that enhance the authentic pizza experience.
Essential Pizza Accessories
Pizza Stones & Baking Stones: Thick ceramic or cordierite slabs that absorb and distribute heat evenly across the pizza base. Essential for crispy, charred crusts characteristic of authentic pizza ovens. Prevents soggy bottoms and ensures even cooking. Available in round and rectangular shapes for different EGG sizes.
Pizza Peels: Flat paddles for safely transferring pizza in and out of the hot EGG. Available in wood (traditional, prevents sticking) and metal (thin edge, easier sliding). Long handles keep hands away from heat. Essential for safe pizza handling.
Pizza Cutters: Sharp wheeled cutters or rocking blade cutters (mezzalunas) for clean slicing. Stainless steel construction withstands high temperatures and frequent use.
Dough Dockers: Spiked rollers that perforate dough, preventing bubbles and ensuring even cooking. Particularly useful for thin-crust pizzas.
Infrared Thermometers: Measure stone surface temperature accurately (370-430°C for Neapolitan pizza). Essential for consistent results.
Pizza-Making on Your Big Green Egg
Setup: Place the convEGGtor with legs up, position the pizza stone on top, and preheat for 30-45 minutes. This creates indirect heat that mimics a traditional pizza oven.
Temperature: Neapolitan-style pizza: 370-430°C (90 seconds to 3 minutes). American-style pizza: 260-315°C (8-12 minutes). Use an infrared thermometer to check stone temperature.
Technique: Dust the peel generously with flour or semolina. Assemble pizza quickly on the peel, shake to ensure it slides freely, then use a swift motion to slide onto the preheated stone. Watch carefully - pizza cooks fast at these temperatures.
Results: Crispy, charred crust with leopard spotting and perfectly melted cheese. Add wood chips to your charcoal for subtle smoky flavour that enhances the authentic pizza experience.
Pizza Stone Care & Maintenance
Never Use Soap: Pizza stones are porous and absorb soap, affecting flavour. Scrape off debris with a plastic scraper or stiff brush when cool.
Embrace Staining: Darkening and staining are normal and actually improve performance over time. The seasoned surface enhances flavour.
Avoid Thermal Shock: Don't place a cold stone in a hot EGG or vice versa. Preheat gradually to prevent cracking.
Storage: Store in a dry location. Moisture can cause cracking when heated.
Beyond Pizza - Other Uses
Pizza stones are versatile for artisan bread, focaccia, flatbreads, naan, cookies, pastries, and roasting vegetables. The stone's heat retention and moisture absorption create crispy exteriors on all baked goods. Many Big Green Egg owners use their pizza stone for bread baking as much as pizza.
