When I think of grilled pizzas, I think of the HBO show Girls.

This is obviously very silly, because grilled pizzas are very fun to make and eat.

Grilling a pizza can be slightly stressful if youve never made one before.

The best grilled pizzas are made with a very hot grill, and pizza dough browns quite quickly.

Be nice to the dough!

It is the backbone of this entire operation.

Paradoxically, I do not grill the meat that I pair with the pineapple.

Also, be careful not to overdo it.

Two toppings, plus cheese is plentymore will make your pizza heavy and damp.

Setting up amise en placewill actually make the process less stressful overall.

I also like to set out a little bowl of cornmeal for dusting on the bottom of the pizza.

No one will judge you, especially if you are feeding them pizza.

A too-cold grill will produce pizza thats doughy, and no one wants that, so crank it up.

Lets make a pizza, baby!

(you’ve got the option to also use a pizza peel or lipless baking sheet.)

If using a charcoal grill, fill your chimney and get it going.

If youre using a gas grill, set your burners accordingly.

(Use an external thermometer to monitor the temperature, no matter what kind of grill youre using.)
