Step 1

Preheat the grill to high heat and brush the grill with a little bit of oil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, red pepper, mushrooms, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Place vegetables evenly on a grill pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Grill for 8 minutes or just until tender. Remove from grill and set aside.

Step 3

Roll the pizza dough into a large oval on a lightly floured surface. Place the pizza dough on a lightly floured rimless baking sheet, or pizza peel.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the pizza dough with the garlic butter.

Step 5

Slide the pizza dough directly onto the hot grill. Grill the pizza dough for about 2 minutes with the lid closed. Open the grill lid and flip the pizza carefully with a pair of tongs. Grill for 2-3 minutes more. The dough should be golden brown with grill marks on both sides. Remove the pizza from the grill.

Step 6

Sprinkle fresh mozzarella cheese over the pizza, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges. Arrange grilled vegetables evenly over the cheese. Grill pizza 3-5 minutes or until cheese melts and crust is golden brown. Remove pizza from grill and top with fresh tomatoes and basil.

Step 7

Cut into slices and serve.

Step 8

Note - if you don't have a grill, you can make this pizza in the oven. You can roast the vegetables at 400 degrees F and cook the pizza at 500 degrees F.
