It’s Pizza Grillin’ Time!

Hey y’all! I hope everyone is enjoying your summer time. Hopefully, you’ve eased into the slowness of long days outside and spending quality time with your families. I know we have been extra lazy these last few weeks and it’s JUST what the doctor ordered! Dinners around here have been on the simple side and as much grilling outdoors as possible. It’s just too nice outside not to! This week, the kids joined in on the fun and tried out some build-your-own-pizzas…on the grill! It was so much fun and super yummy too!

I think everyone has their favorite pizza toppings and gravitates toward those every time. The same goes for making homemade pizzas! I love pepperoni and mushrooms on my pizza. I’ll order it every single time. My boys like the Hawaiian style with ham and pineapple. You have a few options for the crust. You can absolutely use your favorite recipe for homemade crust. I have a good one, but I swear I always forget how much time it takes to let the dough rise! Lately, I’ve been buying a bag of ready-to-use dough from the grocery store, but to make things even easier, use a pre-made crust that you just need to heat up.

Ingredients:

  • Pizza Crust
  • Sauce
    • Pizza Sauce
    • BBQ Sauce
    • Garlic Butter
  • Toppings
    • Pepperoni
    • Sausage
    • Bacon
    • Ham
    • Mushrooms
    • Peppers
    • Onions
    • Pineapple
  • Mozzarella Cheese

Directions:

  • Gather all your toppings, sauces, and shredded cheese.
  • Stretch out your dough (you can use a little corn meal if it’s sticky) and place it on a preheated grill.
  • Cook for about 5-7 minutes on medium low heat.
  • Flip them over, add your sauces and then your toppings.
  • Let them cook about 4 minutes, then add your shredded cheese.
  • Cook another few minutes and then take them off the grill.
  • Place on pizza pans to serve.
  • Look at these beauties!
  • Okay, they’re not perfectly round, but the char from the grill added such a great flavor.
  • They were delicious!!

Notes:

  • We used our favorite BBQ sauce for the Hawaiian pizza and ya’ll, if you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out! So much fun!
  • I used a canned roasted garlic tomato sauce for the pepperoni pizza. Pepperoni and mushroom is my life!
  • Of course, if you want to skip out on the grilling, you can throw these babies in the oven.

We had so much fun creating these and then getting to eat our creations was awesome! I hope your family enjoys making these pizzas as much as my family did!
