For me pizza doesn't bake properly when cooked directly on a gas grill. The
bottom heat is too high; the crust gets crisp before the top is cooked. This
most true with any pizza containing sausage. If anything works, it would be
the simple Pizza Margharita[tomatoes, cheese and nothing else].

I have a new technique that works much better. Put a stone of some kind on
the grate and with a peel put the pizza onto that. You have to warm the
stone at least 15 minutes to make it work.. I use the cheapest stone from
Walmart laid on a large pizza pan for this. You could use an about to
"discard cookie sheet", though not a nonstick one.
This creates a "pizza oven" like atmosphere, and the pizza cooks pretty
well. It's sort of like a "gas "wood burning brick oven".
