I don't think it would be hot enough to cook the dough or melt the cheese, but my buddy watches the food network all the time and says that you can. Even so I don't think I would eat a dutch oven pizza, help me put my buddy in his place. I want to serve him a helping dose of sweet dutch oven justice.

Yes you can. You can cook pizza, bread, and just about anything in a dutch oven. You can use the dutch oven in an oven or you can use it on the coals (or charcoal) of an outdoor fire. I have cooked pizza, bread, calzones, cobbler, stew, and many other things this way. An 'outdoor' dutch oven has legs and a depression in the lid for coals so you get the heat from the top and bottom.
Sorry pal. Your friend is on top of this one and more resourceful. Instead of putting him in his place, learn form him and make some tasties.

Sorry, Ervin, I can't help you put your buddy in his place. You definitely CAN cook pizza in a dutch oven out on the campfire. If you've been backpacking for a week or even just camping for the weekend, that pizza is going to taste great!
The trick with dutch ovens is to put hot coals on top of the cover of the dutch oven as well as keeping the hot coals underneath the pot.
Did you know that you can also grill pizza? It works on a similar principle. You put your pizza on a heavy pan or pizza stone and close the lid of the grill. The heat builds up inside the grill and cooks the pizza nicely.

A Dutch oven is a thick-walled metal cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. It is commonly referred to as a 'camp oven' in the Australian bush, and a cocotte in French, and is similar to the South African potjie.
Dutch ovens are most suited for long slow cooking, such as in making roasts, stews, and casseroles.
North American campers and Boy Scouts have used these as true baking ovens. It is easy to bake biscuits, cakes, breads, pizzas and even pies in these devices; consider them a relatively slow oven. A smaller baking pan can be placed inside the ovens, used and replaced with another as the first batch is completed. Enterprising campers have even stacked them on top of each other conserving the heat that would normally rise from the hot coals on the top.

You probably COULD, but I don't see why you WOULD, unless it's the only pan you have.
It's much too deep , for one thing.
