How to Make Grilled Pizza at Home

Grilling your own pizza on the BBQ is a great way to cook an easy pizza dinner without using the oven to heat up your house!

First, gather your ingredients:

  1. pizza crust (pre-made or using the crust recipe from our pizza recipe here or this recipe here)
  2. pizza sauce (pre-made or using the sauce recipe from our deep dish pizza recipe here)
  3. toppings: handmade mozzarella cheese and fresh basil for margherita pizza, or any combination of fresh herbs and vegetables and meat that you like.

Then, prep the pizza crust:

  • Roll out a thin rectangle of pizza dough to fit the grill.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high heat, and coat the grates with vegetable oil.
  • Cook the pizza for 2-3 minutes, until the crust is grilled and brown.

  • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

Topping Ideas for Grilled Pizza

You can add any toppings you like to grilled pizza to create your own delicious pizza at home. Some of our favorite topping combinations:

Margherita Pizza: a simple rustic Italian combination of cubed mozzarella cheese (fresh is best!) and fresh basil leaves with marinara sauce. You can also add fresh tomatoes and a sprinkling of fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Meat Lovers: Italian sausage, chopped pepperoni, bacon, ham, and grilled chicken (with shredded mozzarella and marinara sauce)

Traditional Twist: from our deep dish pizza recipe – ground beef, Italian sausage, onion, and yellow red peppers for a contrast from the traditional red or green pepper

Bacon and Veggie: spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, and real bacon bits (with feta and mozzarella cheeses) – plus a delicious crust seasoning in the recipe here

BBQ Chicken: grilled chicken chunks, pineapple, bacon bits, and red onion (with Monterey Jack cheese and barbecue sauce)

Hamburger and Grape Tomato: use the grape tomatoes from your garden, paired with ground beef and onions – easy and delicious

What to Serve With Grilled Pizza

Grilled pizza is an all-in-one dish (fruits, veggies, meat and grains!) We like to pair it with a fun summer drink to cool off and follow up with a grilled dessert like these. Try basil passionfruit lemonade or a strawberry coconut mocktail!
