Is it only Americans that call a pizza 'pie'? As an Australian it sounds wrong, very wrong - a pie has dished sides and filling, not just topping.
Being frustrated with burned top, and undercooked bottom I figured out that using the broiler together with a couple 2-3 mm thick pre-heated aluminium sheet that I placed the pizza on produced pretty good results. Not that I was aiming for a particular style of pizza though, ymmv. The sheet itself was placed on an ordinary oven rack somewhere below the middle of the oven. It seems to align somewhat with their finding…
Then bake your pizza on it with the grill still on.

There is a style of pizza native to America which has dished sides and filling.
Which deviates so far from pizza, it ought just be called Chicago pie.
There are a few other non-Chicago “pies” or Deep Dish styles as well. https://slice.seriouseats.com/2008/01/a-list-of-regional-piz...

Another option is to use a Kamado grill with a pizza stone. They can get very hot, and with the charcoal it gives it a nice smokey flavor. You can add wood chunks for extra flavoring as well. It's hard to eat pizza from the oven now after we have starting cooking them this way!

Check with your local laws...that is probably illegal.
No different than any place that allows you to have a grill at a similar location, and since there are never going to be flare-ups or similar issues it is actually safer than those items; for CA residents you need a concrete or stucco balcony, no wood. I use mine in my English garden (back yard) but it is portable enough for lots of different locations.

Just buy a pizza steel (like this: https://pizzasteel.com/ ). Warm it in an oven at max for 45 minutes, then turn the grill (broiler) on for 15 mins to get it as hot as possible. Then bake your pizza on it with the grill still on.
