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
Preheat 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
If 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
Lightly oil the top side of the dough.
- 4
Place 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
Lightly oil the dough so it doesn't stick when you flip it over.
- 6
Using tongs, flip the dough over so the crisped side is up.
- 7
Quickly add your pizza sauce, cheese (not too much or it won't melt), and toppings.
- 8
Cover.

Grill 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.

Remove and serve.
