I scored some King Arthur high gluten (Sir Lancelot) flour, 14.2% protein, so I decided to make pizza dough. I'm doing more tonight, but I made 2 for a party last night, using Peter Reinhart's recipe (http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001199.html)

I made the dough Friday night, then took 2 of 4 dough balls out of the fridge at about 5:30 to be ready to bake on the BGE at 7:30. For one, I used home-grown heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozz and olive oil, the other I used local hot Italian sausage, crimini mushrooms, and a quick but good pizza sauce.

I tried a couple thicknesses.. the sausage and mushroom was thinner, and just about perfect. It even came out round!
 
That looks fantastic - I'm going to try this dough recipe!
 
Looks great ...nice shots!
I like the shallow depth of field pron.
 
Beautifully baked!

I use parchment also but have been pulling it out after 3 minutes into baking and discarding it. Of course doing that adds extra baking time. I'll try leaving the parchment until the pizza is done next time and see.

I just don't worry about it, and it burns up for the most part.

I just did a mashed potato pizza for my wife, and I put a sausage/mushroom/peppadew pepper/kalamata olive pie on the bge for me.
 
That mashed potato pie looks wonderful. Those pizzas look like they were baked in a wood fired brick oven. Very nice!
 
I'm running the bge at about 700f for the pizzas... Takes less than 3 minutes to bake them
