Al Contarino built his first grill top pizza oven in 2010 to solve the consistent-high-temperature problem that often thwarted his grill-powered pizza-making efforts. Along with fellow inventor George Peters, they tested their grill pizza insert out on friends who raved so much that the duo knew they were on to something.
KettlePizza is the result of Al and George’s hard work, and their determination to design and manufacture it on their own and in the USA.
The oven inserts fit on top of the grill grates in gas and charcoal grills. The gas grill insert is designed to help heat circulate and radiate down from the lid to cook the pizza evenly and completely. The charcoal grill insert does the same job in just about any kettle-style grill. Charcoal briquets along with hardwood help get that perfect wood-fired crispiness (and taste).
Whatever type of grill you have, KettlePizza makes it easy to add pizza to your cookout menu—and feed the crowd in under 10 minutes.
