Grilled Pizza
Grilled pizza is made by grilling a pizza crust and then adding toppings. The crust is usually brushed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper before grilling. Once the crust is grilled, it is topped with sauce, cheese, and any other toppings of your choice. The pizza is then returned to the grill to melt the cheese and heat the toppings. Grilled pizza is a great option for outdoor entertaining or for a fun family dinner.
