How to Make Grilled Sicilian Pizza

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat. Arrange coals around a drip pan for indirect grilling.
  2. On a 24x18 inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, arrange a pizza crust (12-14 inch).
  3. Top the crust with 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 8 ounces of fresh mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded), and 1/2 cup of Kalamata olives (pitted and halved).
  4. Drizzle generously with 2 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil.
  5. Fold the foil in half lengthwise, creating a foil packet. Crimp the edges to seal, ensuring the pizza is fully enclosed.
  6. Carefully place the foil packet on the grill rack over the drip pan.
  7. Cover the grill and cook for 8 minutes, or until the pizza is heated through and the crust is slightly charred.
  8. Remove the foil packet from the grill and carefully open it. Add 4 ounces of fresh escarole to the top of the pizza.
  9. Return the foil packet to the grill for the last 2 minutes, or until the escarole is wilted but still slightly crisp. This allows the escarole to slightly cook without burning.
  10. Remove from grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  11. Sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup) and freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving.
