That pie looks really good Al, very good indeed.
Keep giving that oven a regular workout.
And that pepperoni grease! Oh hell yeah!
That stuff makes the difference between good and great.
Like!

I'm a huge Pepperoni pizza fan, but like mine to include anchovies.
That pie fits the bill of what I try to order for a pepperoni pie.
I tell them, "All I want to see is pepperoni and the edge of the crust."
 
I took the last 2 sticks of the UMAi pepperoni that I had made a few days ago & made a pizza with it last night. Even Judy was impressed, and she is a tough crowd. It was a simple pizza just Mozz, parm, Italian seasoning, & all the pepperoni I could get on the top.
I cheated on the dough & bought one of those pizza dough balls at Walmart for $1.
I started by slicing up the pepperoni as thin as I could without getting out the slicer.

Next I got the fire going in the kettle, about 3/4 of a chimney of charcoal & a few hickory splits.

It is starting to catch fire.

Looking good now, put the pizza kettle attachment on & get the stone nice & hot..

I broke down & bought one of those S/S plates that direct the heat to the top of the pizza instead up into the dome. They are a bit pricey, and I'm sure some of you fabricators could make these for about $10 a piece. But I don't have the tools or the shop to do it in so I have to pay the big bucks. But I will say it is well worth the money, cause the pizza cooks much more evenly.

Got the lid on & the fire is going good.

Judy got the crust ready & we decided to cook this one in the pizza pan they include with the unit.

I made sure every square inch was covered with pepperoni!

Into the kettle she goes!

We ran the temp a little lower this time to see how that would work & between using the pizza pan & keeping the temp between 500-600. It turned out very good.

The cheese was melted nicely, and the pepperoni was crispy, but the crust was not burnt or over done, just nice & crispy! I think we are getting the hang of this new toy!!

I had to add a handful of red pepper flakes!

Then it's time to slice it up!

I have to say this was very exciting for me to make a pizza with my own UMAi pepperoni.
As usual Judy was very skeptical about the outcome, but she ate half the pizza before me. If she thought it was good then as far as I'm concerned it was a success!
BTW, I thought it was the best pepperoni pizza I have ever eaten, but then I guess I may be a bit biased, since I made it. But I can't believe that I haven't used these bags way before this. They are just fantastic!! And the kettle pizza attachment is the real deal too!
Thanks for looking!

Knocked another one one outta the park! Keep it up Al!...That knife though!:cool:

A Kettle Pizza as big as the kettle!
YUM!:eek:

Great looking pizza Al like all the pepperoni I would have to add onion and mushrooms but there wasn't much room left for that.

POINT! That pepperoni pizza looks awesome! We make our own here in the oven all the time and I know the feeling you are describing when a Pizza really turns out the way you want it. I just got my LoneStarz smoker and have played around making a pizza in the firebox. I’ll post when I get it figured out. Congrats on finding a great pizza right in your own smoker! The pepperoni looks awesome too!

Awesome Al! Great success and a great looking pie!

Oh goodness! It really does look great! All that smoked, meat-candy-looking pepperoni makes that pizza look like it would be impossible to stop eating until it's gone!

Move over Domino"s

Great looking pizza!!! I can tell you are serious about your pizza cuz you use a commercial pizza rocker knife for cutting!! I'll bet your home made pepperoni knocks the socks off anything you can buy in the store.

OMG That pic with the pepper flakes!

Wow, that looks great

Nice pizza Al! That looks fantastic

That's some legit looking pizza pie, right there!

I don't know what this "point" thing is but I'd give you a bunch for this one.

Man that pizza looks fantastic Al!

George

Point for sure.

Chris

Really nice Al, oh those little crispy cups of pepperoni love. I need to go have a cigarette now.

I quite literally drooled when I saw the finished product.. that is how I love my pizza... Like Al. If I could I'd hit like a few times :)

Wow Al that looks awesome im almost tempted to go find a kettle just to do my own pizza

Just the way I like it...Pepperoni, cheese and red pepper flakes! Outstanding, you're going to make me run out and spend some money!!

Looks Great, Altonio!!

Thank you so much guys for all the kind words & the likes!

Glad to see you jumped all in with the steel topper, that makes a world of difference in getting the toppings done at the same time as the crust. When you have good flames rolling it will be hotter than the stone by 100* or more, so 600-700 up there for how I run.

Lately I have been using my steel for smash burgers on the normal grate level (so without the rest of the pizza setup). Works great! I've also used it as a heat deflector and smoked various things in pans on racks on top of it, mainly fatties.

Great looking pie! Enjoy the wood fired 'za!
