Pizza… Grill Style

by Ashley on September 28, 2011

Remember the pizza crusts you saw on my grocery list on Monday?  Well last night I put them to good amazing use!  I’ve never cooked pizza on the grill before, and I’ve really been wanting to try it for awhile now.  Yesterday was the day, my friends, and it was glorious. 

I bought two premade honey whole wheat pizza crusts at the grocery store on Monday and was quite excited to get them on the grill yesterday evening for dinner.  I decided to make his and her pizzas considering I had two crusts.  Not to mention Cody isn’t the biggest fan of my basil, spinach, and tomato toppings choice.  He likes his meat, black olives, and mushrooms! 

I topped each of our pizzas with some Ragu pizza sauce (impressive, eh?), and their appropriate toppings.  Cody’s pizza consisted of pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, and black olives.  My pizza consisted of basil, sliced tomatoes, and spinach.   

  

Next I topped them with a butt load of mozzarella cheese. Mmmm.

Last but not least, I stuck ‘em on the grill.  I grilled them on LOW for about 3-5 minutes.  Try to keep the lid closed as much as possible to melt the cheese, but be careful not to burn the bottom of the crust!  (Poor photo quality – my bad.)

I carefully took them off the grill after a few minutes and brought them inside.  Cody sliced the pizzas while I made spinach side salads for each of us.  We sat down and devoured.  The cheese was nice and melty, the crust was perfectly crusty, and it had a hint of grill-ish flavor.  Simply delish. 

 

I’m actually looking forward to leftovers from this meal!  (I am not usually a fan of leftovers.)

Those pizzas look amazing!! I love homemade pizza. They have less grease and I actually know what is being put in them. My favorite pizza to make is BBQ chicken pizza. Super easy and delicious. I also really like Hawaiian pizza but haven’t tried making that one on my own yet.

Enjoy your leftovers :)

I never thought of grilling pizza! They look so delish, and I bet the tough of smokiness just makes it. I would defiantly rather make homemade pizza! I used to work at a pizza place in high school and it scarred me for life when it comes to getting pizza out.

Wow I am quite impressed, these look amazing! I have made my own only one time, and I posted about it a bit ago :) But I want to make a more legit crust next time!

I’ve actually never made my own pizza, I should give it a try! I don’t think there are any pizza toppings I wouldn’t like! As long as it’s not greasy to too cheesy, I’m a fan of just about anything!

You definitely should! It’s so easy, delicious, and can often times be much healthier too!

Yum! I’ve always wanted to try this, but we aren’t allowed to have grills in our complex- boo hoo! Once we buy a house and a grill I’ll jump on this bandwagon!

Grilled pizza is so damn good–you should try it using uncooked dough. It’s only $3 a ball at Whole Foods and it’s incredible!
