Abstract

A pizza oven is disclosed for cooking pizza or other food items on a barbecue grill. The pizza oven includes a top wall and a sidewall that together define an interior space sized and shaped to receive the food item to be cooked. The top wall includes one or more projections extending from an inner surface of the top wall into the interior space. When the pizza oven is positioned on the grates of a heated grill, heated air from the grill enters the interior space through a gap between the side walls and the food item. The heated air then contacts the one or more projections and passes over the top surface of the food item to cook the food item by convection. The one or more projections are sized and shaped to cause the heated air to move in a rotational pattern in the interior space. The rotational pattern allows the food item to be cooked faster and more evenly.
