Ingredients
1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup tomato sauce or marinara (store-bought or homemade)
1 1/2 cups cheese: freshly shredded or torn mozzarella, grated Parmesan (more or less to taste)
Optional toppings: pepperoni, sausage, thinly sliced vegetables, fresh herbs, etc.
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and spread evenly.
-
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into your desired shape and size.
-
Brush one side of the dough with olive oil to prevent sticking.
-
Place the dough on the preheated grill, oil-side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes until the bottom has grill marks and the dough puffs up.
-
Flip the dough, brush the grilled side with olive oil, and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on top.
-
Sprinkle with mozzarella, Parmesan, and your desired toppings.
-
Close the grill lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust crisps up.
-
Remove the pizza from the grill, let it cool for a minute, then slice and serve.
Notes
Grilled pizza is best enjoyed immediately while the crust is crispy.
Add fresh basil or chili oil after grilling for added flavor.
Customize your pizza with any cheese or toppings you like for a personalized taste.
