My favorite kind of pizza is made in a wood burning brick oven. Delicious, charred, thin and flavorful. Unfortunately, I don't have a brick oven... but I do have a grill. Too bad it is a gas grill and not a charcoal, but that is another story!
Many years ago I took a course at L'academie de Cusine and learned how to make grilled artisan pizza. It is VERY easy! And sooooo delicious! So fire up the grill and create a pizza just for you!
StoneGable's Artisan Pizza
1 pizza fresh pizza dough
canola oil
pizza sauce
cheese
toppings
This is not a rocket science recipe. Make it the way you would like... that is what makes it ARTISAN.
I buy homemade dough from my grocers. NOT THE TUBE KIND! If your grocer does not have fresh dough, your local pizza shop might sell some to you. Or try making your own, it is very easy.
I love the dough Mrs. P from Faithfulness Farm makes. As a matter of fact, her primer on pizza is wonderful. Click HERE for a great and informative post.
Preheat grill to medium low.
Divide dough into 4 equal amounts.
Roll into a ball and flatten out. Pull into a 8 inch round. I grab the edge of the round and let gravity stretch it for me. Just work around the pizza this way. Mine always look like ovals, that's okay!
Put round on a rimless cookie sheet. Coat the dough with olive oil- liberally.
Put the dough directly on the grill, do not shut lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Watch it will burn easily. The pictures show a progression of the dough on the grill.
Take the crust off of the grill. Put it on the an oiled cookie sheet grilled side up.
Add pizza sauce. Add toppings for each individual person. We had mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, crumbled turkey sausage, pepperoni, grilled onions and grilled peppers.
Place pizza the on grill and shut the lid. Grill an additional 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.
Remove from the grill, cut and serve hot. YUMMY!
Look at this great thin crust and wonderful melty toppings!

Fabulous Yvonne, looks as good as the pizza at any NYC shoppe! I'm going to make it when my sons come my way next week. I've never thought of buying the dough. They always want to order but homemade is better, and yours is the best!!! Thanks and have a great holiday weekend.

ReplyDeleteOh boy! For those first extra hot weeks of football season, how great is this idea! Looks beautiful and I'll let my bread maker do all the work of making the pizza dough, sounds like a winner-thanks:@)
ReplyDeleteLooks so delicious. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love all things StoneGable. Why am I not surprised that even your grill is in perfect condition??? :)

I just ate a big barbecued burger and yet my mouth is watering looking at your pizza. Oh that looks good.
ReplyDeleteI ahve never made pizza on the grill but this looks SO delicious! I love a nice THIN crust and the toppings that I want! MMMM, you are makingme hungry:) XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteLooks so delicious. I haven't made pizza for so long. I should make it one of these days while I still have fresh basil in my yard.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Carla
ReplyDeleteI have never made pizza on the grill, but yours looks delicious. We keep our grills fired up 12 months of the year around here. I will definitely try this. Sounds like a great meal for company.
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I will have to show this to Mr. Deer, I sense there might be a homemade pizza in my future! XX!
ReplyDeleteI've tried grilling pizza but wasn't happy with the results. I think the heat was probably too high. Your step by step is so helpful, Yvonne, and I'm inspired to try again. Gosh darn, that pizza looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh, you sweet COOK, you. You have taught this old dog so many new tricks..just last night we had the bread sticks, smothered in butter, cheeses sprinkled on, cracked red pepper and garlic salt...rolled and placed in the muffin tin..They were so good, Mr. Sweet and I wanted to 'slap our pappy'....:))
ReplyDeleteI can not WAIT to try this grilled pizza. Maybe tomorrow for dinner.
hugs to you in your kitchen...

Yvonne...your pizza looks devine!! Thank you for the mention....we love homemade pizza at our house and do grill it in the summer months! Your tutorial is perfect :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Gail
Well our weather is changing and I think maybe a grilled pizza this weekend will be just what we need. Thanks for all the instruction Yvonne, they look perfect.
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious! I always enjoy your tutorials, regardless of subject matter. You explain everything clearly, and your photographs are always fantastic!
Loved your bees and sunflower table! Sorry I'm so late stopping by -- but lucky me, I got a StoneGable "two for one" today!
Have a great weekend!
Bill
We just had pizza last night or I'd be making this tonight! Love that first close-up!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check out that pizza 'tute' - thanks for the link!
Yvonne, as always, your photography is stunning. Yes, it's just pizza, but through your camera, it is ART. You take such fabulous photos. Truly, that is a gift in itself.
ReplyDeleteWe made pizza on the grill about a month ago, but it was a disaster. We used our normal pizza dough recipe, but it must be too sticky. It stuck to the grill and we broke it in all kinds of pieces to get it off.
I'm a thin crust pizza gal, so I'm rather drooling over yours.
Blessings on your Labor Day weekend,
Patti
Yum! I love making pizza and have the best crust and sauce recipes in the world (well...at least the best I've ever tried). I've never attempted to make it on a grill, though. Someday, when I own a grill, I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteOkay, it looks like we're having grilled pizza this weekend. A great tutorial. My stomach is growling...
Bonne week-end,
Mimi
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! I am new to blogging, found you last week. I love all your tablescapes and the food, OMG, I can taste the pizza now! I have made your cinnamon rolls a couple of times already. They are scrumptious!! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the holiday weekend!
Looks delicious! Nice and fresh!
ReplyDeletePizza on the grill? I haven't tried it, but since we like to make pizza for an easy night's dinner, I'm going to try it. That will give my hubby one more grill skill.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is "YUMMO!"
ReplyDeleteNow if you'll excuse me, I have to go clean my grill so that I can make this later today. :-)
THANKS!!
Oh & BTW, I am TOTALLY jealous that you got to attend L'academie de Cusine in Bethesda!!! I got to go to the Western Reserve School of Cooking
WRSC & thought THAT was a big deal. Ha-Ha!
Pizza dough is sooo easy to make...just 4 ingredients and boom you're done! Satisfying to make too. Anyway, question: when you bake this on a grill does it taste differently than when baked in an oven? I always do it in the oven but would try this if it lends a different flavor. Loved all the pics in your tutorial...very helpful!!
