Thanks to whoever suggested making pizza over the fire...I'd never thought of it. Jesse and I had a great pizza this week in the porkies. 1 bag pizza crust mix, patted into a frying pan with greased hands, 1 tiny little box pasta sauce, 1 pouch pepperoni and a bunch of string cheese. Oh baby! The cheese didn't melt...and we didn't care!

Nice! That looks great!

If you do want to melt the top cheese, when the pizza is all but done, lift the lid and splash in a bit of water (maybe a teaspoon) so it hits the pan rather than the pizza and cover quickly. The steam produced will melt the top cheese.

We had pizza Friday on our trip. I dehydrated the sauce, black olives, and mushrooms. Re-hydrate and used the pepperoni and string cheese.

Umm,umm!

The Back Country Oven makes awesome pizza, but it's slow for a group larger than 2. That said, I've used it for the past couple of years, and it makes perfect pizzas.

less ambitious than some, we had great success last week with 8" boboli pizza crusts and boboli's sauce (available in a pouch). we froze a half pound of shredded mozz. we fit four of the pizza crusts right on the grate over a good bed of coals. one pouch of sauce (which they claim is the right amount for a single large pizza) was perfect for four 8" pizzas. topped with cheese and pepperoni. they were over the coals for 15 - 20 minutes.

it was the best meal of the week, hands down. the crusts were nice and toasted, the cheese mostly melted -- the whole experience was incredible. AND no dishes to clean. glory be!

mogos, did you cover the pizzas at all? I am taking the bobblis next week on our trip and was going to wrap each one loosly in tin foil to trap the heat around the pizza. Thoughts?

Camp pizza is a must on trips, especially kid trips. It is usually the favorite meal.

We use the "just add water" pouch crust, mixing the crust in the pouch. They are good for two pizza crusts. It works over the whisperlite in a covered frying pan. Heat the crust first until the bottom just begins to brown. Then flip the crust and add the sauce and toppings. Cover and reheat until the bottom gets brown. I've always dehydrated the pizza sauce at home from the little cans--didn't know there were small pouches available. Where are those found? Pepperoni packs and string cheese complete the toppings. A little garlic salt/oregano/basil seasoning can also be good. We often fold and eat as a sandwich.

The downside, as already indicated, is that it takes a long time when each pizza only feeds one and you have a group. It is a good meal to make when hanging under the tarp because of bad weather.

Dehydrated the sauce at home, and used a $.97 bag of dough mix, and pepperoni.

If you want to go low effort there are shelf stable individual pizza crusts and sauce (all in one package) available at the grocery store. There is also individual Boboli crusts and individual packets of Boboli pizza sauce. A nice meal with a few sticks of cheese, pepperoni and a few olives from the olive bar (they keep for days).

Agreed! Very easy to make in the Backwoods Oven.

Last week on seagull we did tortilla pizza. We took our frying pans over the stoves and put a tortilla with no oil or butter then squirted a bit o BBQ sauce and some pre cooked shredded chicken and raw red onion and some shredded cheese, put the lid on and cooked and low/med heat for about 10 min (just enough to heat everything up and melt the cheese). the tortillas crisped up all on their own. it was awesome.

Note: we basecamped so we were able to bring in all the fixins. Had we been a travel trip we would have had to modify this a bit.

IMO wild rice is good in everything! If you are ever in GM, stop in at Sven and Ole's, and try the "Vild Vun" it has wild rice.

Last week up on Ogish we made the Boboli pizzas right over the fire. They turned out awesome! Covered the grate with foil, punched holes in foil, laid 6 pizzas with sauce, pepperoni, string chees and season to taste. Covered all with another tent of foil and cooked 15 minutes. Easily the best dinner of the week. I made it after reading this thread. Thanks guys for the tip
