Instructions

Step 1: Chef’s Note: While all our pizza recipes can be cooked to perfection on any recteq, for that authentic, wood-fired flavor and crispy crust, nothing beats results from the recteq Pizza Oven. It’s compatible with many of our grill models and brings pizzeria-quality results right to your backyard.
Step 2: Preheat recteq bullseye to 500ºF with a recteq Pizza Stone Kit.
Step 3: Stretch the dough into a 12 inch round and place on a pizza peel with some semolina flour.
Step 4: Smear the pesto across the crust.
Step 5: Top with the fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and a light sprinkle of Colden's Freakin' Greek and oregano.
Step 6: Place the pizza on the stone and allow to cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
