I opted to use some of the left over summer squash and zucchini. Mr. J added ham and peppers.
We are still working on the actual transfer on and off the gill part. My pizza got a bit messy in the process.
In the end it was a bit charred on the bottom. Does this mean the grill was too hot when we put the pizza on?
Looks pretty sweet from the top view. This is definitely something we are going to have to try again. Sometime soon! Even with the black bottom this was one good supper.
I have found if you turn the heat down after you initiallly heat the grill, that the bottom won't brown near as quick. I always keep an eye on the bottom of my pizza just in case. If it starts to look a little too done, I slide it onto tin foil or slide it under the broiler in my oven =)

I have never grilled a pizza but I have always thought it would be fabulous! I like how you used your left-over veggies. Waste not want not!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious! I never considered using some of my squash on the pizza. I love that idea.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try grilling pizza! I need to just do it sometime! I have heard the tip of turning the heat way down as soon as you put the dough on. Not sure how it works, but worth a try!
ReplyDeleteI loooove grilled pizza! My husband and I have made it so many times! Here's what we've learned...a pizza peel is best for transferring the dough on and off the grill. As for the charred...the side you first grilled is the side with your toppings. The charred bottom you notice might come from the rate at which you top the pizza. Moving slow and waiting for cheese to melt takes too much time for the crust. We always remove our dough from heat, top it, then return it to the grill, basically just to melt the cheese. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteI make grilled pizza ALL the time! Im a bit of a grill freak (I do competition BBQ, if you ever need grill tips im here!) My suggestion - Whenever I make pizza on the grill I make sure every topping is ready and in a bowl easy to grab..I stretch out my dough to the size I want it and put it on the grill..no toppings. I let the dough get golden brown..only about 1 minute. I flip it over..add my toppings...and I just wait til the cheese melts..turns out perfect everytime
ReplyDeleteThe last time a friend and I tried to grill pizza, the grill tried to eat the dough. It was very challenging. Yours looks pretty good!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Pizza! I love it. I find that I cook my pizza dough first til almost done and then cook on INDIRECT heat with the toppings on. No matter...your pizza looked amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove this! It's fun to do them on the grill. We eat pizza way too much. But it's so good. Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnything pizza always gets my vote. I do plan to make my first attempt at grilling it, so I will have to see how mine turn out. Yours looks tasty. I never would have known they got too brown on the bottom if you hadn't let us know! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI would be inclined to par bake pizza blanks in an oven and then top them to cook on the grill.
ReplyDeleteBut trust me I have little or no experience with grilling anything let alone pizza LOL
It looks good all the same
Grilled pizza sounds great, especially yours.
