How to Make Pulled Smoked Pork BBQ Pizza on the Big Green Egg
The Big Green Egg is used to make Pulled Smoked Pork BBQ Pizza. Start the BGE and place the plate setter or convert”egg”tor with the feet facing down into the machine. After the plate setter is in place, the grill grate and then the pizza stone may be added.
While many people love to cook their pizzas at 700 degrees, I prefer to keep the BGE around 500 degrees. For me, this has always yielded delectable results!

How to Prepare Pulled Smoked Pork BBQ Pizza on the Big Green Egg?
The dough is certainly the first step in preparing any pizza. Pour the flour mixture, yeast, and warm water into a mixing basin and knead for 3-5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Once you’ve finished, Transfer the dough to a separate bowl that has been rubbed with extra virgin olive oil and set aside to rest. Wrap cling wrap around the bowl. You’ll have to wait around 45 minutes as the dough rises.
After roughly 45 minutes, you may begin making your pizza dough. Any leftover dough may be refrigerated and used again a few days later.
To keep the dough from sticking to your baking mat, sprinkle it with flour. Roll out the dough to the thickness you choose. Transfer the dough on parchment paper after it’s finished. When it comes to transferring the pizza to the Big Green Egg, parchment paper will save you a lot of time.
It’s now time to add the garnishes. Begin by brushing the pizza dough with a thin coating of BBQ sauce.
Followed by the Pulled Smoked Pork.
Then there are the green peppers.
Then there was the onion.
A well-balanced coating of cheese!
Finally, add some fresh pineapple to finish it off with that ideal sweet taste!
How to Cook Pulled Smoked Pork BBQ Pizza on the Big Green Egg?
Now its time to get this Pulled Smoked Pork bbq pizza cooked so it can be enjoyed! The BGE should be running about 500 degrees and all ready to go.
After about 2-3 minutes, rotate the pizza 90 degrees. With the rear of the BGE typically running a bit hotter than the front, this helps guarantee a nice even fry. I normally do this while also removing the parchment paper, allowing the pizza to finish cooking directly on the pizza stone.
After a few more minutes check the bottom of the pizza for doneness. Once you have a good tan color you are ready to pull the Pulled Smoked Pork bbq pizza and enjoy it!
