Grilled Pizza

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 2 pizzas 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch Homemade Pizza Dough or frozen store-bought dough, divided into two balls of dough
  • olive oil for brushing
  • toppings of your choosing

Instructions

Preheat the Grill:

  1. Heat enough charcoal to fill one half of your grill. Arrange heated charcoal on one side of the grill.

Prepare the dough:

  1. On a large baking sheet or pizza peel, spread one ball of dough into desired shape and thickness. Brush surface of dough with olive oil.

Grill the Pizza:

  1. Lay dough on grill grates over indirect heat, oiled side down. Allow to cook for 3 minutes or so before disturbing the dough. Lift edges with tongs or spatula to check the color. Rotate if needed. While the first side of the dough is cooking, brush the other side with olive oil.
  2. Once the crust has turned a nice golden brown with dark grill lines, carefully flip the dough over and grill the second side (that you just brushed with oil).
  3. Add toppings of your choosing. Place cover on the grill for a few minutes to help the cheese to melt, checking crust frequently.
  4. Carefully remove pizza to a pizza peel or large baking sheet.
  5. Repeat with remaining portion of dough.
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

Re-heating tip: For best results, reheat leftover pizza in a skillet on the stove or on a piece of aluminum foil in a 350 degree oven for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. These methods retain the crispiness of the crust instead of the soggy crust that you get when reheating pizza in a microwave.
