Baking pizza on a Weber Q

Your Weber Q is not just a barbecue—it's a versatile cooking tool capable of a variety of cooking styles, including baking pizza. By using indirect heat and a pizza stone, you can easily transform your barbecue into a pizza oven. The pizza stone creates an intensely hot surface that helps the dough bubble and blister, resulting in a perfectly golden, crispy crust. 

HOW TO SET UP YOUR WEBER Q FOR BAKING PIZZA

When used together, a trivet and convection tray transform your Weber Q from barbecue mode to oven mode in seconds. The trays are engineered with vents designed to circulate heat above, below, and all around the food for perfectly even cooking. There’s a perfectly sized trivet and convection tray (also known as a roasting pack) available for every Weber Q.  

Step 1: Ensure that both cooking grills (not a hotplate) are in the barbecue. 

Step 2: Place the convection tray horizontally in the centre of your cooking grill. Place a roasting trivet on top of the convection tray. 

Step 3: Place a Weber Pizza stone in the centre of the trivet.  

What size pizza stone is right for your Q? 
Weber Baby Q: 26 cm Small Pizza Stone 
Weber Q: 26 cm Small Pizza Stone or 36 cm Large Pizza Stone 
Weber Family Q: 2 x 26 cm Small Pizza Stones or 1 x 36 cm Large Pizza Stone

BAKE ON THE TRAY OR STRAIGHT ON THE STONE?

It ultimately comes down to personal preference, balancing skill and convenience. The Weber Easy Serve Pizza Tray offers the most convenience, allowing you to preassemble your pizzas and easily transfer them on and off the barbecue. However, pizza dough bakes best when it has direct contact with the hot stone, which helps achieve that perfect crispy crust. If you have the time, experiment with different methods to find what works best for you.
