Pizza Night!

I wanted to try baking some pizza with my Charcoal Companion grill pizza pan tonight.  My wife and I mixed up a pizza crust recipe we found online.  The recipe made enough dough for two crusts so the other pizza was baked on a baking stone to compare.  The pizza sauce was a clone of Papa John's sauce that we found online as well.  Both pizzas were topped with half pepperoni and half sausage and mushroom.  The cheese was a blend of mozzarella and Provolone.

I fired up my Yoder YS-640 pellet grill to 425 degrees and threw the pies on.  Here they are on the grill...

The pizza pies baking away.
Here's the pizza stone variety.
And the Charcoal Companion variety.
The pizza on the stone had a drier crust than that of the pizza baked on the pan.  The pizza on the pan reminded us of more of what we would get from a pizza restaurant, which we preferred.  It was much easier taking pizza on and off the grill as well.  I think I'll be grabbing another Charcoal Companion pizza pan very soon.  The fresh, home made ingredients coupled with the wood-fired taste from the Yoder made pizza night a winner at our house!
