Is this a different Ocean Club than the one that is not at the beach near the Versailles Gardens? I am interested in going, but the search brings up an Ocean Club that is in the middle of nowhere and not near to the Atlantis. Thanks. Editing: I found it! On Cabbage Beach? Hence your Atlantis reference. I get it. Thank you very much for the suggestion. Did you have to call ahead for lunch? We did not call ahead (went in March of 2022) and had no problem but I think I would try to do reservations next time. It is beautiful there (part of Four Seasons) and we spent a few hours. Had lunch then walked around and then sat at the bar area for awhile. I don't remember cab pricing but we figured the whole thing cost less than most excursions--even with the cost of the Vesper martinis--bc you HAVE to have one there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted July 10 #125352 Share Posted July 10 5 hours ago, bobmacliberty said: We decided to try something new last night with our grill...pizza. Our grill can get pretty hot...up to almost 700F with all burners firing...so we thought it would make a good pizza oven. We have a good pizza stone and a peel, so we were all set. Since this was our first attempt, we (close your ears OB) purchased a pizza dough ball and some sauce in a jar. We'll make our own dough and sauce in future attempts. Information that we had read on the Internet was conflicting, including some saying that you should bake the base for a couple of minutes on each side, remove and add toppings, then put bake on the grill for finishing. We decided to add all toppings directly to the stretched dough while sitting on the peel, and then put the whole thing on the pre-heated stone, at about 500F. We rotated it a few times and removed it at 10 minutes thinking that it looked done. After cutting into it, the dough wasn't quite cooked, so we put it back on for another 5 minutes. The taste was good, but the dough was tough/overcooked. Not sure if we left it on the grill too long, or if homemade dough would have been better. I'd say it was about on par with Sorrento's in the early evening (as opposed to late evening Sorrento's which tastes better 😁). Good enough to satisfy our hunger but not particularly great. Is anyone here a pizza expert who can suggest what we should do differently next time? We're thinking about buying one of these Napoleon Pizza Stainless Steel Oven Topper For Gas Grills - 71200 | BBQGrills.com Pepperoni and mushroom ready to cook. After a couple of minutes on the stone Finished product Although I cook mine in the oven, we are at similar temperatures. This should work for you. Timing is based on 550⁰. We preheat the oven at 550⁰ for 1 hour with the stone in it. The dough ball sits out for the hour too. I used to use cornmeal but now use parchment paper on the peel. After forming the dough, set it on the parchment paper, then slide the pie, with the paper, onto the stone. Bake it for 60 to 90 seconds on only one side. I learned this from John on the Bella thread. After removing the dough add the sauce and topping. Place it back in for 7 to 7.5 minutes. When using parchment paper be careful. When the pizza is done and you pull it out you need to be real steady with the peel. The pizza can slide off easy. Look at the paper in the pics. It turns brown but it doesn't catch on fire. I love this pizza so much I rarely eat any other. I think it's more about the dough and sauce than the cooking method. If you want I will share my dough recipe. One more thing, if you like pesto and willing to try new things, substitute pesto for the sauce. It's great! 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaOne Posted July 10 #125353 Share Posted July 10 1 hour ago, bobmacliberty said: Even so, getting the stretched dough on the peel can be a challenge. Do you set the screen with the pizza on it, on top of the stone in the grill or directly on the grill grates? We carry the screen, with the built pizza on top, to the grill and lay it directly on the pizza stone. So, stretch the dough on the kitchen counter and then transfer it to the pizza screen. Add the toppings, and right to the pizza stone. Fifteen minutes later it's time to eat. This discussion reminds me, I need to order a second pizza screen. That way we can prepare the second pizza while the first one cooks. I suspect the pizza screen would work well in an oven too. It just makes the process easier, not having to use a pizza peel and corn meal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted July 10 #125354 Share Posted July 10 Well bummer. It looks like our move is going to delayed. On Sunday night we were coming in from the deck and tripped and fell on my right hip. The hip is fine, but I have a small fracture in my pelvis. I spent Monday night in the hospital. I am not ambulatory and have a wheelchair, walker and commode. PT person is supposed to start today. The pain is absolutely excruciating but fortunately it is not displaced. It will eventually heal on its own. Just miserable in the meantime. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both love pesto and this is in our plans also. Had one of the best pizzas of our life in one of the Cinque Terra villages (I think Vernazza but not sure)...loads of fresh pesto. So good! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although no longer working, I still think in terms of "summer weekends" since most of my family & friends still work. And most of my summer weekends have been booked before summer even began. I like having a few open weekends for spur-of-the-moment activities. When you were a kid you could engage in non stop summer activity 24 hours a day .When you are old you cannot do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
