Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all of your ingredients and toppings in advance.
Step 2
Heat the grill to high heat. Brush the grates with olive oil, keeping extra olive oil on hand so that you can keep brushing the grates between each pizza.
Step 3
Carefully slide the rolled-out pizza crust onto the hot grill. Cover the grill and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the underside of the dough is cooked and lightly golden and the grill marks can be seen. Use a pizza peel or tongs to pull the pizza dough off the grill, then flip it over onto a flour- or cornmeal-sprinkled surface, so that the grill marks are on top.
Step 4
Spread your desired sauce (or olive oil) on top of the dough. Then sprinkle on your desired toppings, being careful not to layer them on too thick.
Step 5
Slide the pizza back onto the grill ,cover it, and cook the pizza for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the underside of the dough is cooked and lightly golden and the grill marks can be seen and the toppings on top are cooked and/or the cheese melted as desired. Remove the pizza from the grill, slice it, and serve immediately.
