About 10 years ago, my brother took me to a pizza place in detroit that cooks a pizza, then adds another layer and cooks it again, making a super thick pizza. I decided to try that method and see what happens.
I started with a Digorno 4 cheese pizza

I used the recycled lump/coals from my ash can (that gives it a campfire smell) and added some mesquite chunks

Just half of this pizza filled 3 people and later that night I saw my wife sniffing the inside of the ziplock that held the leftovers, with her eyes rolled and moaning. This was a hit and I will play with this more in the future
 
was out in the yard, no cooking times taken. I did have the diffuser in the UDS. The box said to cook at 400F but I planned on an extended cook, so I started at 325 and slowly rose up to 400 during the cook. It didn't burn and came out great but I want the bottom of the next one to be a little less crispy, so I plan to put the next one in one of the perforated pizza pans. I was also thinking of using a lighter cheese like mozzerella. AND I forgot the freakin mushrooms!!!

I was thinking of using brisket and butts this way too
 
that looks sweet and is a great idea for a new way to do pie. I will have to try that one day and see if mine comes out half as good as yours did.
