How To Make Smoked Pizza
Preheat Smoker
Begin making your smoked pizza by preheating your smoker. We recommend preheating your smoker to 400°F before adding your pizza.
Prepping the Pizza Dough
While your smoker is preheating, roll your pizza dough out so that it is flat. Then, if using a pizza stone, preheat it by placing it on your smoker while it is warming up.
You can also use aluminum foil for your pizza. Sprinkle cornmeal over the surface where you will add your pizza dough, i.e. on your pizza stone, or aluminum foil. Add your pizza dough.
Assemble the Pizza
While your smoker is preheating, assemble your pizza. Place your rolled out pizza dough on either aluminum foil, or your preheated pizza stone. Top it with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, and sprinkle with Mamma Mia’s seasoning blend. Add your desired toppings to the pizza.
