    Smoked Traeger Pizza Recipe With Meat

    Ingredients

    Here’s what you need to make Traeger grill pizza.

    Infographic with smoked pizza ingredients with meat and captions
    • Pizza dough (store bought or homemade pizza dough, which ideally you’ll let rise on a sunny counter 2-6 hours in advance so it grows in size and gets fluffy and pillowy soft)
    • Flour (for stretching pizza dough)
    • Olive oil
    • Pizza sauce
    • Mozzarella cheese
    • Sausage (or any topping you’d like – try cooked chicken or pepperoni pizza)
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Parsley

    How to make smoked Traeger pizza

    Now I’ll walk you through how to cook pizza on Traeger.

    Infographic demonstrating how to cook pizza on Traeger
    1. Preheat Traeger for pizza. Turn on the Traeger pellet grill to preheat at 500°F, with the pizza stone or baking sheet in it for 15 minutes).
    2. Prep work station. Dust half the flour on a large cutting board. Add the other half of the flour to the corner of your work space to use as you stretch the dough.
    3. Stretch pizza dough by pushing it a few times against the floured cutting board to pick up flour. Then start pinching the outside inch of the pizza dough, in a circular motion, to outline the crust and help form a circle shape. Switch between pressing the center of the dough against a cutting board, and using the back of your knuckles to stretch the dough from underneath, pulling it outwards in a circular motion. Add a little extra flour as you stretch it to a larger size, so it retains the bigger circle shape. (Beginners – see the pizza dough stretching tutorial on Sip Bite Go for more tips.)
    4. Prep pizza crust. If using a preheated pizza stone, carefully remove it from the smoker (and close the smoker so the heat stays inside). Prepare the crust by quickly brushing half of the olive oil on the top of the pizza stone or baking sheet. Add the stretched pizza dough on top. Then brush the remaining olive oil on the outside inch of the pizza dough crust (this will make a tasty crust while the pizza smokes on the Traeger).
    5. Add toppings. Quickly assemble the pizza toppings, leaving an inch around the outside of the dough without toppings (for the crust). First, spread  pizza sauce on the pizza. Top with mozzarella cheese, cooked sausage (or pepperoni) slices, and half the parmesan cheese.
    6. Smoke pizza on the pellet grill at 500°F for 10 minutes. Rotate it and smoke pizza for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted, and the bottom and pizza crust is golden brown.
    7. Let pizza cool and serve it. Transfer smoked pizza to a cutting board (you can let the pizza stone cool down in the Traeger), top with fresh parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, and slice and serve when cool enough to eat.

    FAQs

    Can you smoke pizza directly on grill grates?

    I do have a technique for grilling pizza, that I’ll share one day soon, that involves grilling pizza directly on grill grates. But it’s not the easiest to maneuver raw pizza dough directly on the grill.  So I suggest using a baking sheet or pizza stone when making pizza on a wood pellet grill.

    What’s the best premade pizza dough for grilling?

    Find pizza dough at your local grocery store or bakery. You can use any premade crust or store bought pizza dough for this recipe. I easily find fresh Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s pizza dough. You can also make your own homemade pizza dough by hand or with one of those popular KitchenAid attachments.

    What pizza stone do you use for smoking pizza?

    Special thanks to Emile Henry for providing the beautiful pizza stone in the color charcoal. It’s Made In France and is perfect for not only smoking pizza in the Traeger, but also making a killer pepperoni pizza in the oven. It’s actually safe to use on gas grills, charcoal grills, pellet grills, and natural wood grills up to 900 degrees F. That’s almost twice as high as your typical oven will get. And it’s attractive to use as a pizza serving dish, too. See it on amazon.

    Meat thermometer recommendations

    Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly. 

    On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:

    1. Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
    2. ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill. 

    It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature. 

    How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.

    While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

      Never thought of smoking a pizza! Question – rather than futzing with the raw dough ball, can you use a pre-made, Boboli-type crust instead? Then relatedly, since it’s already “solid,” can that then be put right on the rack instead of a pizza stone? Thanks!

        Yea, I’d totally do that and put it right on the stone if you’re not in a “futzing” mood.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
