Anyone use a pizza docker.

[Finster]

I’ve been making pizzas on the Webber.
so far decent (not great) results.
im having difficulty getting the crust as thin as I would like.
both times I’ve used store bought dough.
its really been puffing up like crazy after it hits the heat.
I’m wondering if hitting it with a pizza dock will minimize that.
Other than that, no complaints. Pizzas taste good, and the bottom is getting crisp the way we like it.
sorry, no pics available

I’m the dummy of the group. What’s a pizza dock?

[Steve B]

It’s a place where you park your pizza after a day on the water.

I think ya spelled doctor wrong. I have a docker, but never used it.

[Steve B]

I’m not really a fan of docker’s. I prefer Levi’s. They just seem to fit better.

I never knew they were called that! It might help....I also wonder if a fork would work just as well?

[Finster]

I only know because I worked at a pizza place in high school..

[RonB]

A fork will do the same thing, but the docker is faster, (sez the guy who never used his).

Yes, that’s the purpose of docking the dough. This is from "The Pizza Bible".

[FireMan]

Oh shoot, that’s a prickly thing!

[Rocinante]

I just use a fork, when I don't want much rise in the dough. Works good for me.

[RiverJeff]

Yep it's all about forking!

[Finster]

Forkin A 👍

Would like to hear your technique for cooking pizza on that Weber.

[Finster]

I do it on the kettle using the vortex flipped upside down, and charcoal around the outside.
Here's a video that gave me the basic idea..

Skip to around 5:30 to see the grill set up.
The only thing I do differently is elevating my pizza stone using upside down charcoal baskets so it sits higher in the dome.

Thanks!

Live and learn! Never heard of a pizza docker before today!

I may have to stab my pizza with a fork next time before putting toppings on, as I sometimes have more rise than I would like when baking as well.

The Pizza Docter is the person who docks pizzas with a piazza dock
A pizza dock is a tool used to poke holes in pizza dough so that it does not puff up during baking.
