I find that most pizza places don't put enough sauce on their pizzas to my liking, sometimes even when I ask for extra. I like a really tomato-ey robust rich tasting pizza, and that requires extra sauce!

Usually, I load up the sauce on the pie before I add the cheese and toppings, but this time, I decided to add the extra sauce on top. Also, I used some wonderful Italian Sausage from back east I found at my local market that is probably the best Italian sausage I've ever had - super sweet, savory, and not too fatty. It worked out quite well:

It was super tasty!
 
You make awesome pizza. I am just beginning to experiment with pizza on my WSCG. How hot do you typically run your set up? Thanks

Thanks, Plumb!

I usually look for a stone temp of anywhere between 625-675 degrees using an infrared thermometer. At this temp, the pizza cooks in about 3 minutes, 4 minutes max.
 
Man that looks tasty! Are you able to get a crispy crust with all that sauce or is it a fork/knife kind of pie?
 
Looks wonderful!

Good move with the extra sauce on top. Too much on the base really gums up the crust from my experience.
