Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups pizza dough (refer to our grilled pizza recipe top see how to make it )
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella torn into chunks
  • 1 cup  fresh basil thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the grill to its hottest setting. I like to have a cooler zone to move the pizza to should it be needed. Brush the grill grid with a little oil.
  • Form the dough into pizza bases with your hands, pressing from the middle, forming the pizza as you go. Take care not to thin it out too much.
  • Transfer the dough to the grid then allow to cook for a few minutes until the dough has started to bubble up. Remove from the grill and place grill side-up on a wooden board or pizza peel.
  • Top the grilled side with sauce, cheese and basil then carefully transfer the pizza back to the grill. Close the grill if possible and allow to cook for a few minutes until the cheese has melted and there is some color on top.
  • Remove from the grill, slice, top with more basil and serve.
