BBQ Pizza

Grilled pizza that tastes like it came from an authentic brick oven. The grill gives the dough a charred, crispy crust while melting the cheese and warming the toppings. Works on gas or charcoal.

📝 Ingredients

• Pizza dough, stretched and shaped into a roundish shape (I like the Trader Joe's pre-made dough, not too shabby and inexpensive)
• Pizza sauce
• Cheese (I like Trader Joe's Quattro Formaggio, a perfect blend of Italian cheeses)
• Toppings of your choice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat your grill, then clean it well. Oil the grill with olive oil. (I wipe down the grill using a wadded-up paper towel saturated with olive oil.)
2. 2If you're using a gas grill, once it's hot, turn the flame down to low. With a charcoal grill, spread your charcoal out thinly to cool things down.
3. 3Lightly oil the top side of the dough.
4. 4Place dough, oiled side down, on the grill. Cover. Cook until the top of the dough is raised and puffed and the bottom is just crisp, about 3 minutes.
5. 5Lightly oil the dough so it doesn't stick when you flip it over.
6. 6Using tongs, flip the dough over so the crisped side is up.
7. 7Quickly add your pizza sauce, cheese (not too much or it won't melt), and toppings.
8. 8Cover.
9. 9Grill until cheese is melted and dough is browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Check the underside often to make sure it's not burning.
10. 10Remove and serve.
