Grilled Pizza is not hard at all and the smokey taste is delicious! Cook the pizza on a stone and you will have a fluffy, crisp pizza your family will love!
The crust is crisp, the cheese has a smokey flavor and is melted to perfection. Yes, that is what grilling pizza on a stone is all about. Grilled pizza has all the flavors of your favorite pizza but the bonus of the grill. What a flavor combination!
Using a stone helps to cook the pizza evenly and aids the crust in the perfect crispness. Stones aren't expensive to buy and they make the crust crisp and fluffy and yum. You can see a pizza stone here.
Grilling pizza
You don't need a particular pizza crust recipe, however, we use this pizza dough recipe. It is for a bread machine and is our favorite! The toppings on this pizza is a ham and pepperoni pizza which was delicious. (Pineapple would have been wonderful on it as well!) Chose your favorite pizza sauce, top with toppings and mozzarella cheese.
Tips for grilling pizza:
- I have a charcoal grill so I can only speak to that. Make sure the coals are nice and hot. Don't put the pizza in the grill until you have great heat going, at the least 300 degrees.
- Make sure you let the stone heat up in your oven first or on the grill with nothing on it.
- Remove the stone carefully from the oven or grill (it will be hot!).
- Use cornmeal on top of the stone. That will help the pizza not to stick.
- After the cornmeal, spread dough on top of stone. **Since stone is hot, roll the dough out on another pizza pan or countertop. Transfer dough onto stone carefully. A pizza peel works great for this.**
- Add desired toppings. Place stone carefully on grill.
- Check the pizza after about 7 minutes. That will determine how much longer it will need to cook. The pizza I made took about 15 minutes.
Grilling pizza on a stone is not hard and your family will enjoy the taste of classic pizza with the smokey grill flavor. Don't heat up your kitchen this summer and use the grill!
