Pizza on the grill-wow!

Pizza may not be the most interesting food topic, but who doesn't like a great pizza? My family really enjoys pizza and we definitely all have our favorites- Stellas or Pizzerea Vetri in Philly, Gusta in Florence, Forcella on the Bowery.

But who knew grilled pizza could be our new favorite? It's a little bit of work to get the dough to cooperate on the grill but the rewards are worth the effort- promise!

Gilled pizza with heirloom tomatoes, San Marzano tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, red onion, fresh basil

Recipe: Inspired by Barefoot Contessa Grilled California Pizza
Adapted version:
Dough from Whole Foods Market
Cut dough in half
Roll each half out 1/4 inch thick
Brush dough with olive oil one side
Heat grill to around 375-400 degrees
I used long grill tongs to help with the dough on the grill and to add toppings
Place dough (oil side down) directly on grill grates cook for 1 minute then turn
Brush next side with olive oil and add favorite toppings
Close lid to grill- cook pizza for approximately 4-5 minutes

Here's what we had for toppings:
sliced red onion
fresh ricotta
fresh mozzarella
basil
heriloom tomatoes
roma tomatoes
prosciutto
1 jar San Marzano pizza sauce

This version has more fresh basil and prosciutto.
