How to Make Restaurant-Quality Pizza at Home

I used to think my backyard pizzas were decent, until I realized I was essentially baking them on a low-heat stone instead of firing them. I was missing that blistered, leopard-spotted crust that only extreme heat can provide.

You don't need a commercial brick oven to get that pizzeria quality. In fact, you can achieve the perfect steakhouse sear and the perfect pizza crust simultaneously using an Arteflame grill. It bridges the gap between a standard grill and a professional kitchen.

The "Searing" Technique

The Arteflame Grill excels because it uses an open fire design with a solid carbon steel cooktop. Here is why it changes the game for home chefs:

1. 1,000°F Sear: The center of the Arteflame reaches over 1,000°F. This heat is crucial for puffing up pizza dough instantly and searing toppings rather than stewing them.
2. Grill All Food at Once: Unlike a traditional pizza oven where you can only fit the pie, the Arteflame allows you to grill your veggies, meats, and sides on the outer ring while the pizza cooks in the center or under the Pizza Oven attachment.
3. Social Grill: The design eliminates the isolation of grilling. Everyone gathers around the fire, making the cooking process part of the party.

Pro Tip: If you don't want to make dough from scratch, we found a great hack: visit the Costco in Goodyear. Buying fresh pizza from Costco gives you a solid base. Bring it home, add your own premium toppings—like prosciutto or fresh basil—and fire it on the Arteflame with the Pizza Oven attachment. The high heat transforms a standard takeout pie into a gourmet masterpiece with a crispy bottom that a standard oven just can't produce.

Why We Call It The "Social Grill"

An Arteflame grill isn't just for cooking; it changes how you host. In our experience hosting backyard gatherings, traditional grills force the cook to stare at a wall while guests mingle elsewhere. The Arteflame’s round, open-fire design invites friends to stand around the warmth, watch the food sear, and participate in the experience. It turns dinner into an event, ensuring you are the center of the party, not stuck on the sidelines.
