This pizza cooker works really well. I have a grill large enough to use 4 at a time. A couple of hints for using the cooker ;turn pan 180 degrees ocationally for more even cooking and when dough is just starting to get firm, slide a non stick spatula under to lift dough out of the holes in the pan.

This is an excellent addition to both the outdoor and indoor kitchen. Zagrill makes a great pizza on the grill, is easy to use, and clean up. The pizza cooks up evenly, and the crust comes out crisp, the toppings and cheese evenly cooked, and the crust does not tend to fall through the grill racks as it had before on me. Regulating the temperature on the grill posed a little challenge, by using the outside burners, as opposed to the burner directly under Zagrill, I was able to keep the temp at an even 350F. When I use this in the oven, I use the Zagrill one level below center position in the oven, and have had many great pizzas,stuffed breads, and calzones.

I use this for hand-tossed pizzas and it works quite well. It takes about 11 minutes to cook in a grill that has been pre-heated about 15 minutes. The pizza cooks evenly and the crust is perfectly done. My only gripe is that I wish you could get a bigger pan so that one could cook a larger (14-17") pizza.

I really wish I could give this product a good review. The pizza turns out great and the company has great customer service. But, unfortunately the product is seriously flawed. I bought two of these and the first pizzas I made were good and we ate them, but then I was cleaning the pans and realized the surface had come off. I could see it on the bottom of some of the uneaten pizza. Sure doesn't look healthy, but we'd already downed them. So I called the manufacturer and with very little discussion they sent me two new pans that I received just a couple days later. Super customer service. This time I well oiled the pans and used prodigious amounts of flour on the bottom of the pizza. The problem was much less but the pizzas were still peppered with the pan coating. When the pans are clean you can see the bare spots where it flaked off. This can't be healthy and frankly even though the company was very supportive, the product should be pulled for safety reasons. Bummer! If anyone knows of an alternative that doesn't flake please reply. Maybe there is a cast iron pan out there with holes I could use on top of the heat shields?

The ZaGrill rocks. I had issues at first because I trusted my grill's temperature gauge. After I was given an in-the-grill thermometer and adjusted to the proper temperature, my wife and I could not be more happy with the results. Grilled Pizza (and a glass of wine) all summer long and no mess.

Za Grill makes great pizza. The big secret is that just using the bottom part and closing the gas grill you can bake almost anything! We bake quiche, pies, chicken etc. and don't have to heat up the house! We have 2 Za Grills so we can cook 2 pizzas at once or larger quantities of other food.

I absolutely love this product. I buy individual premade pizza shells or flatbread and add my own toppings. Pizza cooks in 4-5 minutes and the crust does not burn on the grill and the pizza tastes delicious. I do recommend that you do not use metal utensils on this product as they will scratch it. I used a plastic spatula to remove the pizza from the ZaGrill after I noticed that the metal utensils were leaving scratches on the ZaGrill.

After reading the reviews here, I decided to try a ZaGrill.

It works. It works as claimed. It works very well.

This is a wonderful addition to my grill gear, unlike some of the rubbish I've bought. It has enhanced my standing as Grill King of the family.

Now I find myself thinking, why didn't I invent something like this?

I have ordered 4 of these Pizza Cookers. I love em. Takes half the time as the oven and your house stays cooler. The dough, I get at Trader Joes, pizzas are golden brown. They make great gifts.

Used it tonight for the first time. Made 5 pizzas with an average cook time 8 minutes. Bottom was a golden brown with very even cooking. A very good simple design. Faster than a real brick oven.
