Ingredients:
- 1 lb. pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- 10 slices pepperoni
- 1 plum tomato, sliced thin
- ½ red onion sliced thin
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
- 6-8 fresh basil leaves
- 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 Tablespoons Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for grilling and drizzling (separated)
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to 425ºF (be sure to clean the grates thoroughly)
- Place parchment paper on a cutting board or counter and brush with EVOO
- Add your pizza dough onto the parchment paper and stretch it out into a rectangle or circle until the dough no longer pulls back
- Transfer your pizza dough to your grill by taking your parchment paper and flipping it upside down so that the dough lands on top of the grates
- Peel parchment paper off of the dough
- Close the lid on the grill and let the pizza dough cook for 2-3 minutes until it’s golden brown on the bottom
- After 2-3 minutes carefully check the underside of the dough using tongs. If the bottom is golden brown, use your tongs to flip your pizza dough
- Top your pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella slices, basil leaves, and any of the additional toppings you are using
- Close the lid on the grill and allow the pizza to cook for 2-3 minutes more until the cheese is melted and the underside is golden brown
- Once the pizza is nice and golden brown and the cheese is melted to your liking, slide your pizza onto a cutting board with your tongs
- Allow pizza to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting
- Drizzle with remaining EVOO
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese (optional), cut into slices, and serve!
