Beautiful pizza, just beautiful! :clap2::clap2:
 
Great looking pies!:clap2:

Phil made some New Yawk Pizzas, Grandma style on Friday night. They were DELICIOUS!:cool:

This thread is making me want more pizza.
 
I totally wanted to enter this TD. I was completely geared up to make some "za" on the firepit. I modified it pretty well for this contest. I planned the meal, bought some crusts.
However- This was a huge weekend in Wisconsin for sports. I went to the Brewers playoff game on saturday afternoon (won) and got home kinda late to cook, and kinda buzzed.
My neighbor invited me over for the Badgers-Nebraska game (won) where I completed the buzz into hammered-ness. No cooking with big fires when drunk, not good.
Sunday I had to go to work for a bit. I got called there from a buddy. "I got an extra ticket for the Brewers game" he said. "Done. I think I love you" I replied. I went to game two of the NLDS Brewers game (won).
Came home, made bratwurst soaked in apple cider with chunks of apple, a corn and red pepper foil package with butter and garlic salt. No pizzas. Dang.
I'll cast a vote though, it's gonna be a tough choice for this one, good looking stuff from all.

Oh, then there was also a Green Bay Packer game today which I listened to a little of. (won)
 
Shoot, I made a pizza and posted pron yesterday, but did hottest all the right pics for this showdown. Overall, great looking pizzas so far!
 
I put the KitchenAid to work on a pizza dough recipe I got from my friends over at GreenLeaf BBQ at a pizza class I took last year.

That was Sunday pizza night at the Czervik ranch... If nothing else thanks for looking. :becky:
 
Nice pies guys! Caseydog, I am soooo jealous of your garden, your pizza looks great! I'm glad to see some new faces in the TD's. And Mongo, I would so hit those pizzas, love the homemade sauce! Oooh, goro25, love the tossing of the dough shot and your pizzas look simply mouth watering! Moose, can't wait to see your cook, pizza looks perfect!
 
Just found the thread yesterday but since my son and I did the work I figured I would post it up, even if its late. It would appear I need to use something other than my blackberry camera as well, some of the pics here were amazing!

We did make fresh dough for the first time which was interesting to say the least.

Son's creation. Homemade sauce with roasted tomatoes ( canned), fresh mozeralla, freshly grated parmesan, fresh basil and roma tomato and pepperoni

I had the Backwoods running about 450 and in the first pie goes.

Pulled right at 10 minutes

In our house, his pizza won the throwdown as mine was a tad overdone.
