PizzaGrill: Perfect for a successful barbecue evening with a small group.

Published on January 12, 2021 from

The next cozy evening with family or close friends is coming up, and you want to surprise them with something extraordinary? How about a special kind of pizza party? Everyone sits together at the table, chatting and laughing, while baking small, homemade pizzas in the PizzaGrill.

And the best part: you don’t need to be a kitchen pro to create a meal that everyone will enjoy. A variety of ingredients are beautifully arranged on the table, and everyone can choose their favorites. The result is perfectly crispy mini pizzas that no one can resist.


Quick, Easy, and Still a Highlight: Pizza from the PizzaGrill


Making a delicious pizza with the PizzaGrill is not rocket science. Everything you need is already familiar from traditional pizza baking. First and foremost is the dough. Homemade always tastes best, of course. But not everyone wants to make it from scratch or spend too much time preparing it.

No problem—ready-made dough from the refrigerator works just as well. If making your own, form small balls about the size of golf balls. For the ready-made version, cut the dough into twelve equal squares using the included dough cutter.

Place the dough on a plate and cover it with a kitchen towel to prevent the surface from drying out. Then move on to the toppings. Essential ingredients include a well-seasoned tomato sauce and grated cheese. From there, add whatever you like. The classic choice remains salami. Other popular toppings include:

  • Ham
  • Mushrooms
  • Bell peppers
  • Onions
  • Tuna
  • Pineapple


But a little variety now and then never hurts, right? For example, how about a more adventurous combination with gorgonzola, spinach, and pear? The spinach requires some preparation. For a balanced flavor, add a little oil, half an onion, and half a clove of garlic (diced) to a pan.

Once lightly sautéed, add the spinach and a splash of water. Cook for about ten minutes, season with salt and pepper, and your topping is ready. One more tip for the pear: a few drops of lemon juice prevent the sliced pear from turning an unattractive brown.


Mini Pizzas to Suit Every Guest's Taste

No matter which toppings you ultimately choose, all ingredients should be pre-cut if necessary. Then, they can be arranged decoratively in small bowls on the table. Once all preparations are done and all guests are gathered, it’s finally time to start.

While the PizzaGrill is heating up, everyone grabs a pan and a portion of dough. This is evenly spread out in the pan, pressed down, and pricked several times with a fork. Topped with favorite ingredients, the pan goes into the PizzaGrill. Thanks to the top and bottom heat function, even the pizza base becomes nicely crispy.

For those who prefer an extra-crispy base, place the pan with the dough on the grill plate for a few minutes before adding the toppings. Then, put the toppings on and place the pan in the grill. After a few minutes, the cheese is deliciously melted and the pizza is ready to eat. Using a raclette spatula, carefully lift it out of the pan, and the feast can begin.


PizzaGrill or Oven: Who Comes Out on Top?


“Why not just make my pizza in the oven?” you might ask. The answer is simple: the PizzaGrill offers numerous advantages. For many, raclette-style grilling is an essential part of a social evening. Everyone sits together at the table, sharing stories and enjoying their food. And let’s face it—who can resist a good pizza?

Why not combine these two aspects? Added to that is the variety. Each portion can be customized. You can experiment with new ingredients and unusual combinations that you might otherwise not try. If a combination turns out too daring, it’s not a whole pizza that’s affected. Thanks to the PizzaGrill, the next portion can look completely different.

Another advantage over baking a large pizza is that there’s no last slice left cold. Each portion is freshly made, so every piece is hot and crispy. As soon as the first mini pizza is enjoyed, the next one is ready. To make this work, ensure each guest has at least two pans available.


High-Quality PizzaGrills from A. & J. Stöckli


This variety is offered by A. & J. Stöckli through our high-quality PizzaGrills. We create unique shared cooking experiences, combining technical sophistication with easy and convenient operation. After all, you should fully enjoy your meal and company without dealing with complicated equipment.

Every device guarantees a cozy, social dining experience. Even the preparation is made easier with our products. For example, our PizzaGrill dough cutter helps you create perfect bases for mini pizzas. The ideal pizza has a wonderfully crispy base. But tastes vary.

Some prefer a softer dough. Others like their cheese just lightly melted, while some want it nicely golden brown. Therefore, our PizzaGrills feature an adjustable top heat setting. With one simple control, you can also activate additional bottom heat.

We’ve also considered cleaning. Our PizzaGrills feature a special non-stick coating on both the grill plate and pans. Nothing sticks, and nobody has to struggle with stubborn residues after the meal. Cleaning is as easy as using the grill itself.


A Glimpse into Our PizzaGrill Range

Our PizzaGrill is available for both four and eight people. The PizzaGrill Party, with six pans, sits right in the middle and comes with a special extra feature. Its grill plate has two sides: one for grilling and the other for making crêpes, ensuring dessert is taken care of as well.

For those who value a natural stone grill plate, the PizzaGrill for8 Hot Stone is the ideal choice. The PizzaGrill for8 and PizzaGrill for8 Crispy are each available with either a natural stone or non-stick grill plate. The PizzaGrill for8 Crispy also features a “parking deck” for small breaks during the pizza party.

Of course, A. & J. Stöckli also offers the perfect accessories. Want to make crêpes on your PizzaGrill for8? No problem—simply use our crêpe plate. The aluminum plate sits directly on the grill plate.

The crêpe plate comes with a ladle and six spatulas, making portioning and flipping the delicate crêpes effortless. To protect your table, we also offer matching silicone mats for your PizzaGrill. The anthracite-colored mat withstands temperatures up to 180 °C and is dishwasher safe.

As a multifunctional tabletop cooking appliance, our PizzaGrills are not only ideal for mini pizzas but also for grilled dishes and raclette. This makes your social dining experience even more diverse. While the small pizzas bake on the grill, classic raclette pans can cook alongside them. Meanwhile, meat and fish sizzle on the top grill plate.


Not Just Pizza, but Also Raclette

The raclette pans are perfect for a variety of vegetables and delicious sauces. For example, tomato sauce enriched with fresh herbs and spices or various cream cheeses work wonderfully. Seafood lovers can add shrimp or canned tuna to their pans.

For those who prefer meat, a few diced ham pieces or small pre-cooked meat chunks are ideal. Potatoes, ideally partially cooked, are also a staple. These ingredients work well not only in the pans but also on the top grill plate.

Of course, cheese is essential. The classic raclette cheese is always a favorite—it’s flavorful and melts quickly. But again, the rule is simple: use what tastes good. Mozzarella or Gouda never disappoint. For more variety, consider feta, goat cheese, or brie.

No matter what ends up in the PizzaGrill pans or on the grill plate, there are no limits. With the Raclette Oven from A. & J. Stöckli, your next social evening is guaranteed to be a culinary success. Here are a few helpful tips to get the most out of your PizzaGrill.


Tips for Using PizzaGrills


Like any grill, a PizzaGrill produces heat—it has to, to cook all the ingredients properly. That’s why its placement is important. Typically, the grill is positioned in the center of the table, so every guest can easily reach it.

Make sure no heat-sensitive objects are too close. Decorative items can be skipped, giving more space for delicious ingredients. A well-set table still looks great with the ingredients beautifully arranged.

After the feast comes the task no one really looks forward to: cleaning. Since our PizzaGrills feature a non-stick coating, cleanup is quick and easy. Make sure the appliance has completely cooled before starting. The sooner you begin, the easier it will be.

Warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge are all you need to restore the grill plate and pans to their original shine. Avoid stiff brushes and steel wool—they’re unnecessary and too harsh.

One last tip: no PizzaGrill works completely odor-free. That’s a good thing—you want to enjoy the wonderful aromas while cooking. But sometimes these smells linger, even after thorough ventilation.

A small bowl of vinegar left in the room overnight can neutralize lingering odors. If the vinegar smell is unpleasant, coffee grounds are another excellent option. Freshly roasted coffee beans work even better—and who minds waking up to the scent of coffee in the morning?


We Make Pizza Nights Extra Special


At A. & J. Stöckli, we put shared cooking experiences in the spotlight. Every gathering with family and friends becomes a culinary highlight. As the inventors of the raclette portion oven, we provide all the high-quality products you need.
