Step-by-Step: How to Cook Frozen Pizza on Blackstone Griddle

Step 1: Preheat Your Griddle

Set your Blackstone griddle to medium-low heat and let it preheat for 5–7 minutes. If you’re using a pizza dome, place it on the griddle surface to warm up as well.

Step 2: Prep the Surface

Lightly spray the griddle with oil or brush on a thin layer. If you’re using foil or a pizza tray, add oil underneath the pizza to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Place the Pizza

Put your frozen pizza on the griddle—either directly on the surface or on foil. Cover with a pizza dome if you have one.

Step 4: Monitor and Rotate

  • Cook for 6–8 minutes with the dome on.
  • Check the bottom for crispness.
  • If the cheese isn’t melted yet, rotate the pizza or adjust the dome.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Once the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, carefully remove the pizza. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes, then slice and serve!

Personal Tips from My Backyard Kitchen

  • Add extra cheese or toppings before placing on the griddle.
  • Use a double layer of foil if the crust cooks too fast.
  • Watch for hot spots—rotate often for even cooking.
  • My kids love when I add some fresh basil or garlic powder just before finishing.
