How to Make Perfect Pizza on a Pellet Grill

We need to talk.

We just heard that some of ya'll are still ordering pizza delivery… hitting the drive-through… even reaching for frozen pies in the grocery aisle. And honestly? That hurts a little.

Because your recteq isn’t just built for steak, brisket, pulled pork, and chili. It’s a full-blown pizza powerhouse. And once you taste it for yourself, we're confident you'll never dial a delivery number again.

Bring the pizzeria experience to your backyard

If your family is like ours, pizza is always going to make its way on to the menu. Whether it’s a last-minute answer to an empty fridge, or a Friday night treat the kids always look forward to, we can’t blame you for falling into the pizza routine. All we are saying is this: with just a few adjustments, you can overhaul your boring pizza habit and level up your results.

Ready for grilled pizza to become your new hyper-fixation meal solution? Check out everything we’ve got to make your results repeatable and irresistible.

Get the Gear

If you have yet to try pizza on your RT-B380 Bullseye or RT-B380X Bullseye Deluxe, we’ll walk you through the easiest and best method. With recteq’s Bullseye Pizza Stone Kit, you can get better-than delivery results in minutes. Trust us: once you try grilled pizza, you won’t ever go back to takeout, pickup, or frozen options. Taste it and see for yourself!

From-Scratch & Simple Pizza

Pizza from scratch shouldn’t scare you, it’s super simple. We’ve got your go-to dough recipe ready and waiting. Make your choice of large pizza or go with personal sized so that everyone gets a chance to help out with the toppings.

If you’ve got a time-crunch, we’ve got a hot tip. Grab a ready-made ball of pizza dough in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. It’s quick, easy, and affordable but still tastes about as close to homemade as you can get! Just let the dough rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes before building your crust. If you can’t find pre-made dough, try naan bread instead! It’s so easy, it’s almost ridiculous.

Whether you make your dough from scratch or buy it pre-made, the rest is simple. Stretch/roll the dough into a pizza shape (whatever that means to you) and add your sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake on the pizza stone or in the pizza oven at 500ºF for 8-10 minutes.

Straight from the Freezer

All those options just sound too high-effort? We get it…sometimes pizza sounds good because you just can’t be bothered! In that case, there’s no shame in going the frozen route. Since your recteq functions just like an outdoor oven, you can follow the frozen pizza instructions pretty much just like you would do when inside your own kitchen. You’ll get pizza that tastes so much better than the standard, trust us!

Customized Pizzas

Gluten-free, diary-free, vegan, carnivore? The good news is, pizza is a GREAT meal to customize. If you have dietary preferences or restrictions, there are plenty of creative ways to get your pizza-fix. Try vegan shredded cheese with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for dairy-free. For gluten-free diets, cauliflower really can’t be over-sold. You can even make a grain-free crust with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Your crust doesn’t even have to have grains, it could be re-imagined with zucchini boats, portobello caps, eggplant slices, or even a meat-base.

The recteq Pizza Oven transforms your pellet grill into a true high-heat baking environment built for incredible pizza. It helps create radiant heat ideal to turn out a crisp crust, bubbling cheese, and that signature wood-fired finish. Pizza isn’t all you can master, however. You’ve got to try: bagels, French bread, cobblers, pot pies, and even cast iron seared steak. If you love your pellet grill, the recteq Pizza Oven is one of the easiest ways to unlock a whole new level of versatility.
