It takes a knack but with a little persistence you will be rewarded and never buy pizza again! One pie should cost you less than 5 bucks to make.

Tips

If your stone if round place it on your peel and trace it with a sharpie that way then pound out the dough to fit the circle on the peel and it will fit the stone perfectly.

After you put the dough on the peel give the peel a little shake to make sure it slides. DON'T GET ANYTHING WET ON THE PEEL OR THE DOUGH WILL STICK AND YOU'LL HAVE A BIG MESS.

Don't go crazy with the toppings.

Keep the peel as flat as possible when sliding the pizza onto the stone so the toppings don't slide off. To slide the pizza off the peel use a quick back and forth motion.
Publix makes a great crust too....just take it out of the frig and let it rise. My husband actually puts the crust directly on the grill. Oh, and he uses grits instead of corn meal. Guess who is from the South? We don't have a peel but he improvises with a cookie sheet. We need to get you two together and have a great pizza party. Pizza on the grill is the BEST.
