Why limit yourself to the same old-same old? Pizza on the grill will make you never want to have it any other way! Fruit is incredible on the grill. And I do want to try grilled Caesar salad this year. I have also done s'mores, and grilled cheese sandwiches, as well as panini. Life is too short and grills are to expensive to use them only for hot dogs and hamburgers...
I have tried most of those items on the grill. The grill gives it a nice, smoky taste that cannot be achieved any other way! I say, don't knock it until you've tried it, you'd be surprised...
Just last night we grilled 3 pizzas! My daughter had a sleep over with 3 other friends, and we didn't want to get the house any hotter than it was, sooooo.... We like to get the take and bake pizza's from Papa Murphy's and do them. The first one was our first of the year, so, it was kind of a test pizza if you will. We put the cardboard pizza pan on our air bake pizza pan, but, schorched the bottom of the first pizza. The other two came out nice, pizza on the air bake directly, only have two of four burners set at high going and put the pizza at the opposite end of the lit burners. Bake for about 12-15, checking your pizza around the 8 min mark. Turn it to get even baking.
We and the kids love it, and it's a lot of fun. If electricity ever goes out, we can still cook pizza!
BTW, do NOT try frozen pizza, you'll burn the bottom badly and have the top un-done!
“I think pizza is one of those great things that really benefits from being cooked on the grates outside,” says Sam Zien. He usually takes raw pizza dough that he buys from Whole Foods (“It’s cheap, it’s all done, and you don’t have to mess with all the flour and dough.”) He says to take it out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you use it to let the glutens relax, throw oil on a baking sheet, put the dough down, and it will stretch out nicely.
You can also grill the raw dough then, when it’s almost finished, top it with your favorite cheese and make a delicious cheese bread to snack on. (Another favorite of Zien’s.)
