How to Make Grilled Pizza

Grilled pizza is a unique way to eat a traditional favorite. It is easy to make grilled pizza, and the pizza can be made with any ingredients you wish. Grilling the pizza gives you a crisper crust and a nice smoky flavor that you won't get with regular pizza.

Things You'll Need

• Pizza dough


• Mozzarella cheese


• Tomato sauce


• Assorted toppings


• Olive oil

Prepare Pizza

1. Set the grill to medium heat and leave the lid down while it preheats.


2. Shape the pizza dough into a round ball. You can purchase dough from a grocery store, or make your own from scratch.


3. Flatten the ball into a disc shape and pierce the dough all over using a fork. Poking holes in the crust will allow steam to escape, which creates a crisper crust.


4. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes, or until you can see grill marks on the bottom.


5. Spread olive oil on top of the pizza and flip it over.


6. Spread tomato sauce on top of the pizza.


7. Sprinkle the pizza with mozzarella cheese, and place any toppings on top of the pizza.


8. Close the lid on the grill, and grill the pizza for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips

1. Try using a pizza stone to allow the pizza to cook more evenly.


2. Try out different recipes and toppings for your grilled pizza.


3. Try skipping the tomato sauce and rubbing cut garlic over it instead. You can top it with fresh tomato slices, fresh mozzarella and chopped basil for a delicious and healthy grilled pizza.
