Product Description
Turn Your Big Green Egg into an Open-Front Pizza Oven
Enjoy pizzeria-style cooking on your Large or XL Big Green Egg with Pizza Oven Wedges. These wedges hold the dome slightly open to create a convenient front opening for sliding pizzas in and out without repeatedly lifting the lid.
With the dome lowered onto the wedges, heat continues to circulate through the Egg and across the pizza. Watch your pizza bake, rotate it as needed, and remove it without opening the entire dome. This is especially convenient when cooking multiple pizzas.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Sustained High-Heat Cooking: Helps retain heat between pizzas by eliminating the need to repeatedly open the dome.
-
Open Access: Slide your pizza peel in and out through the front opening when needed.
-
Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of baking multiple pizzas during a cook.
-
Custom Fit for Large & XL EGGs: Designed to align precisely along the ceramic rim and gasket line for a secure, stable fit during high-heat cooks. Easy on & off.
Pizza Stone & Rack System Setup
The Pizza Wedges create the front opening, but you'll also need a compatible rack system, heat deflector, and pizza stone. Position the top of the pizza stone near the bottom of the wedge opening for easy loading and removal.
CGS Recommended Components
Large Big Green Egg:
- Heat Deflectors: Two 16-inch half-moon ceramic deflectors
- Pizza Stone: 15-inch full-round ceramic stone
XL Big Green Egg:
- Heat Deflectors: Two 18-inch half-moon ceramic deflectors
- Pizza Stone: 16-inch or 18-inch full-round ceramic stone
Important: Large and XL Pizza Wedges are different sizes and are not interchangeable. Select the version that matches your Egg.
How to Arrange Your Pizza Setup
Our preferred CGS setup uses a CGS rack system to support the grid, deflector, optional CGS Ceramic Spacers to create an air gap, and the pizza stone on top. Just make sure there is ample headroom to move the pizza and peel through the wedge opening.
The air gap helps reduce concentrated heat reaching the bottom of the pizza stone, while the raised position makes it easier to slide pizzas through the wedge opening.
Using a convEGGtor? Position it legs up and use a compatible arrangement to support the pizza stone near the wedge opening.
Pizza Cooking Tips & Recommended Temperatures
You don't need an extreme fire to bake excellent pizza. We recommend starting with a steady, evenly burning fire around 500°F dome temperature, similar to the fire you would build for grilling steak.
Allow the ceramic deflectors and pizza stone to preheat thoroughly before cooking. A balanced fire, proper heat deflection, and a fully heated stone are more important than chasing the highest possible dome temperature.
Additional Pizza Cooking Tips
-
Draft Control: Control your heat using the bottom draft door. Keep the top rEGGulator closed or partially closed, as the front wedge opening will manage upward draft airflow.
-
Preheat Thoroughly: Allow your ceramic dome, deflector, and baking stone to preheat together for at least 30–45 minutes before sliding in your first pie.
- Shutdown & Safety: Pizza Wedges become extremely hot during cooking. Use appropriate high-temperature hand protection when handling them. To shut down the Egg, the wedges must be removed so the dome can close fully and both vents can be shut. Use caution around the hot ceramic, metal components, and charcoal.

No. The Large and XL Big Green Egg require different pizza wedge sizes. Select the version that matches your grill. The wedges are not interchangeable between the two Egg sizes.
Are the pizza wedges sold individually or as a pair?
The Pizza Wedges are sold as a pair of two. One wedge goes on each side of the Egg between the ceramic base and dome. Choose the pair sized for your Large or XL Big Green Egg.
