How Long To Cook Pizza On Bbq

When we lived in Tulsa, we frequented a pizzeria called Andolini's on Cherry St. We loved it! They topped their pizzas with fresh ingredients, massive pepperoni slices, and the crust was always crispy and charred. They also had amazing deep-fried garlic knots. Holy cow, I miss that place!

Sadly, I haven't been able to find a replacement since we moved to Dallas. So in the meantime, I make my pizza on the grill—and so should you, because it's the best way to make classic pizza at home.

Today, I'm going to show you how to grill pizza, taking you through the steps, so you can enjoy crispy charred pizza.

First, start with 1 pound of your favorite pizza dough at room temperature. (Tip: P-Dub's pizza dough is perfect on the grill.)

Sprinkle the back of a sheet pan or cookie sheet with flour. Using your hands, spread the dough out into a thin rectangle.

Prepare the grill for direct high heat. Use tongs and a folded paper towel to rub the grates with vegetable oil. Carefully slide the dough directly onto the grates. Close the grill and cook for 2 – 3 minutes.

Using tongs, gently lift the dough to check the bottom. It should be light brown.

Using your tongs and a sheet pan, turn the pizza dough grilled-side up.

Brush pizza with olive oil and spread on pizza sauce. Add toppings. Close and cook for another 2 – 3 minutes.

Using your tongs, lift the crust to check for a brown crispy bottom. If the dough is browning but the toppings still need more time, lower the heat and let cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Transfer pizza to cutting board. Sprinkle with minced fresh rosemary and shaved Parmesan.

Not only is grilled pizza one of the best ways to get a crispy brown crust, it also helps keep your house cool. Now you no longer need to have your oven on for 30 minutes when it's 90-plus degrees outside!

If you've been on the hunt for perfectly crisp, charred pizza crust, grilled pizza is the answer. It's the best. The best! And as soon as you get the slide-and-flip motion down, it's easy.

Now go forth and embrace the fabulousness of grilled pizza!
