Pizza is one of those things that is so comforting to me. Maybe because it reminds me of my Italian family back in Michigan or that I can literally polish off a large pizza all by myself. Lately I’ve been skipping the order out and I’ve simply been making pizza myself. This way I can control the ingredients, and perhaps I can add a few things that they may not offer up at the local pizzeria. I’ve made several different pizzas on my website, so you should know just how much I love this stuff.

It first starts with having a really good though, which I feel confident that I’ve got a great recipe for. Next it’s all about the sauce. You have to start with great tomatoes, onions, garlic, and time to let stew. To an handsome a few things you can add a little balsamic vinegar and sugar. I sometimes add and dried basil or dry oregano, but I find using those as fresh ingredients on top of the pizza then I simply do away with it in the sauce. From there the creativity is completely up to you.

They usually don’t serve fresh arugula and prosciutto ham at the local pizza spot, however they serve it in my kitchen :-).  Outside of the dough needing some time to rise, pizza actually cooks in under 10 minutes on the grill. Simply turn your grill to high, add on a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum full, does that with cornmeal, and you’re off.

Just like in the oven you have to continue to move your pizza around because there are hotspots. If you wish to slow cook it simply turn your grill down close the lid and go hang out for about 25 minutes or until the crust is nice and brown and the cheese has melted.

Grilling pizza is a lot of fun, and a great way to get outside when it’s finally nice out. So simply crank up the grill, and get to cooking your new pizza recipe. Oh yeah and pin the big picture below.
