How to Make Awesome Grilled Pizza

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F).
  2. Lightly flour a clean work surface and gently roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape.
  3. Liberally brush both sides of the pizza dough with olive oil.
  4. Carefully place the pizza dough onto the preheated grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and slightly cooked through.
  5. Remove the pizza from the grill and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  7. Add your desired toppings evenly across the pizza.
  8. Return the pizza to the grill. Close the lid and grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
  9. Carefully remove the pizza from the grill using a spatula.
  10. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
