I have cooked pizzas from Costco and Walmart that turned out OK. Tonight I tried my first Papa Murphy's pizza and the bottom burnt. I cooked the pizza at 425 and removed it from the sheet after 5 minutes. At the 11 minute mark I pulled the pizza from the grill and the bottom was burnt. I also tried their cookies at 375 and the bottom got burnt as well. I did all of the cooking on the bottom shelf. I ready that cooking pizza on an upper rack would be helpful. Any suggestions on how to cook their pizzas?

On our MAK 375° on the top shelf for around 18 - 20 minutes seems to work well for us. If doing two pizzas, we put on on top, one on bottom and swap them after about 8 - 9 minutes, cook for another 8 - 9 minutes.
BTW - We to like thicker pan style crust, so we cook ours on pizza pans with a little olive oil.

Once I purchase an upper grill grate I will have to try that. Thanks.

Nileriver--- did you cook the pizza with or without the FlameZone covers on? When you are Baking--like pizzas, breads, etc, it's important to remember to keep the covers on to prevent burning. If you have a 1 Star, probably need to just turn down the temperature a bit. At least you know that you CAN bake on your MAK. And that's a good thing!

You should always cook a take 'n bake pizza ON the pan it comes in. Removing the pizza from the pan is why the bottom burnt.
I cook Pappa Murphy's Pizza several times per month. I preheat to 425F with a thin-crust pizza on top and bottom. I make sure the edge is, at least, two inches from the edge and pull the bottom one at ten minutes. Then, I put the top one on the bottom for 4 more minutes. This has worked really well for us, and the pizza is soon gone. Our family loves it! BTW, I am not an expert on pizza, but my daughter-in-law has taught me well.
