Customer Reviews

what cha talkin' about willis?
not sure what is up with tom, but am diggin' the pizzagrill. i did a lot research before buying this and have had pizza stones (yes, pizza stones, not home depot tiles, which are not certified for food and often contain dangerous amounts of lead and arsenic), etc., on the grill and they simply don't compare. this is rock star. what i like:

1. makes great pizza
2. is food certified (from the tile to the paint, this is more important than people realize)
3. the thermometer goes higher than my bbq thermo (500 degrees) and let's me get the pizza right
4. the edges and backstop stop the pizza from sliding off the grill when taking it off (happened more than once trying to use a pizza stone only)
5. the elevation seems to help both on the cooking side (perfect top and bottom) as well as giving a long life to the stone (problem with putting it directly on the grill--had one crack).

what i disklike:
price is tough, but nothing compared to my grill or cookware or what a home pizza oven outside would cost.

for value, it's great and thin, ny style pizza on this is unbeatable. pimp your grill.

Love the pizza Grill
I have a Pizza Grill and I love it, the Pizza Grill is easy to use, the Pizza doesn't stick to the the stone. Now that the weather is nice, it is great to get everyone together and have everyone make their own pizzas.

I disagree with Tom: The thermometer on my high end Weber never seems to match the temperature that the Pizza Grill does, probably because the location is higher or something. Getting tiles from home depot can be dangerous for 2 reasons; they could have lead or other poisons that would leach out at high temperature. Or they would just crack.

Do you need it?
Do you need this product? Probably not, as it is quite expensive for what it really is, a slab of quarry stone elevated on a stainless steel stand. You could easily make your own contraption for much less, but as a gadget person I had to have it. After endless pricing research, the "universal price" seemed to be set at $95-$99, which was too rich for my blood. Then I checked out Amazon and found it for much less then the "universal price". It was still expensive but now at a much more reasonable and palatable price for me to justify it's purchase. The Pizza grill works fine and you can use it on a grill or in an oven but just remember it is only a pizza stone on an elevated stand. It looks great and will impress your friends at presentation time but in the end it is not going improve the taste of your pizza any more than if you used a stone elevated on a couple of bricks wrapped in aluminum foil. I recommend that if you must have it, then look no further than Amazon to make your purchase.
