Get Everything You Need Ready.: Pizza Dough
Here's our #1 tip for success. Prep everything you are going to need before you start grilling. The grilling part goes fast.
We're talking 4 minutes tops, so don't wait to slice your tomatoes until the pizza is on the grill. Have everything ready and
near you so that as soon as you flip the pizza crust, you can start topping and pull your pizza off the grill as soon as it's
done.
Yes! If you have a pizza stone and would rather use it, you definitely can! Place your pizza stone on your grill grates and
close the lid. Heat your grill over the highest heat and let it warm up for a good amount of time. Your pizza stone needs to
be HOT when you put the pizza dough on! If you're using a pizza stone, you won't need to flip your crust, so you can top
with desired toppings right after placing the dough on your stone.
We love our pizza dough for all types of pizza, and it's perfect on the grill! If you have premade dough, that will work great,
too. You can even ask your local pizzeria to buy some pizza dough!
This is the fun part! We kept ours fresh and simple, because that's what we crave in the summertime. You can top yours like
a classic with sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni, or get controversial and add some pineapple! We love a good
grilled barbecue chicken pizza, too. However you like your pizza, it will work well with this grilled version. Because the pizza
cooks for such a short amount of time, just make sure all ingredients that need to be cooked first are already cooked before
you start.

1. Heat grill over medium-high heat. Divide pizza dough into 2 balls and use your hands to stretch out into a circle that’s
8" wide. Brush both sides with oil, then place directly on grill grates. Cook until bottom is golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then
flip. Immediately top crust with half the cheese, tomatoes, and ricotta, and continue cooking until bottom of pizza is
golden, about another minute. Repeat with remaining dough.
