Smoked Grocery Store Pizza

We’ve all been there—coming home from work, hungry and too tired to prep an elaborate meal. That’s where this smoked grocery store pizza comes in. Grab a pre-made pizza from your local deli, add your favorite toppings, and throw it on the smoker for a quick upgrade.

The high heat and hint of smoke turn this simple store-bought pie into a crispy, cheesy showstopper with bold flavor. It’s a fast fix that delivers big results, and once you try it, your oven might start collecting dust.

How to Make Smoked Grocery Store Pizza

Preparation

Start by preheating your smoker as hot as it can go—aim for 450–550°F. Place a pizza stone directly on the grill grates to heat up while the smoker comes to temperature. While that’s warming up, take your deli pizza out of the packaging. This is your chance to customize it! Add extra cheese, sliced onions, jalapeños, pepperoni, or any other toppings you love—but don’t overload it, or the crust won’t cook evenly. Lightly spray the bottom of the crust with duck fat spray for that extra crispy bite.

Smoking the Pizza

Once the smoker and pizza stone are fully preheated, gently place the pizza on the stone. Close the lid and let it bake for about 5–7 minutes. Keep an eye on the cheese—it should be melted and bubbling—and check the bottom of the crust for a golden, crispy finish. If your smoker has uneven heat spots, give the pizza a quick rotate halfway through for an even bake.

Slicing and Serving

Once your pizza is perfectly crisp and the cheese is melted, remove it from the smoker using a pizza peel or spatula. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes, then use a sharp pizza wheel or knife to slice it into wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy those smoky, cheesy bites!

Best Beer To Pair With Smoked Grocery Store Pizza

Amber Ale

The malt-forward flavors balance the richness of cheese and smoked crust while enhancing the caramelized toppings.

Hazy IPA

The citrus and hops cut through the fat of the cheese and meats, refreshing your palate with every sip.

Pilsner

Light and crisp, a classic pilsner complements the smoky flavor without overpowering the simplicity of a deli pizza.
