Instructions

Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 450°F). This ensures a crispy crust with the perfect grill marks.
Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Brush both sides with olive oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
Grill the First Side: Place the dough on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes until the first side is golden brown and crispy.
Add Sauce and Toppings: Flip the dough over, then spread a layer of tomato sauce on top, followed by a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings.
Grill the Second Side: Close the lid of the grill and cook for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the grill and cut it into slices. Serve hot and enjoy the smoky, cheesy deliciousness!

Notes

Topping Ideas: Get creative with your toppings! Try bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or even arugula for a fresh finish.

Alternative Sauces: Instead of marinara, experiment with pesto, BBQ sauce, or white sauce for a unique twist.

Fresh Herbs: Add fresh basil or oregano after grilling for a burst of flavor and color.
