Come summer, dinner doesn’t get much better than homemade pizza on the grill. The trick to making a great pie is really high heat—and your grill can generate more heat than most home ovens. Using store-bought dough and whatever toppings you’ve got in your fridge or have picked up at the farmers market, dinner can be ready in under 30 minutes. From a green pie topped with runny eggs to a sweet-and-savory twist on the classic prosciutto and arugula combo, here are 10 pizzas to grill up this summer!
Triple Mushroom and Herb Grilled Pizza
Mushroom lovers, this pizza is for you! Table for Two packs portabella, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms on this no-sauce pizza (which you won’t even miss!) along with dollops of ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
Grilled Beer Crust Pizza with Peaches, Burrata, and Pesto
Beer. Crust. Pizza. Yeah, that’s right! Although the beer doesn’t replace the yeast in the dough for this recipe from Domestic Fits, it adds a unique flavor and texture. Topped with pesto, Parmesan, peaches, basil, burrata cheese, arugula, and balsamic glaze, it’s an awesome pie to enjoy along with a pint.
Grilled Asparagus and Hot Honey Flatbreads
Instead of a typical marinara, a creamy lemon ricotta spread makes up the base of this grilled pizza from Real Simple. The fresh, bright acidity adds a nice contrast to the peppery arugula, crunchy pistachios, grilled asparagus, and spicy-sweet hot honey.
Grilled Chicken Caesar Pizza
Salad and pizza go hand in hand, and Simply Scratch combines the two in this ’za with a refreshing twist. Using grilled naan for the crust as an easy shortcut, it’s topped with melty cheese, grilled chicken, and a classic Caesar salad.
Charred Corn with Rosemary Grilled Pizza
You know it’s summertime when sweet corn is in use everywhere and in everything—and pizza is no exception. This inspired recipe from Foodie Crush maximizes the earthiness of Gorgonzola and the mildness of mozzarella atop an easy-to-make pizza dough round, all generously dotted with smoky grilled corn kernels. Finish your pie with a sprinkling of fresh rosemary, and we promise this grilled pie will become a new backyard favorite!
Grilled Pizza with Greens and Eggs
This green pie from Food & Wine featured by Delish works for breakfast or dinner! The runny egg yolks mingle with the fresh ricotta and the spigarello, which is a leafy green that tastes a lot like broccoli. If you can’t find it at your local grocer’s, kale will work just as well.
Grilled Prosciutto and Date Pizza
This stunner from Rancho Meladuco Date Farm takes your classic prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula pie and adds thinly sliced Medjool dates for an excellent, and unexpected, salty-sweet pie.
Cast-Iron Pizza with Fennel and Sausage
If you follow Goodtaste, then you know how much we love to grill with a cast-iron skillet! Make this recipe from Bon Appétit grill-friendly by setting your cast-iron skillet right on the grate. When you close the lid on your grill, it functions much like an oven, but at much higher temperatures. The cast iron helps you get that crisp pizza-oven crust, but without any special equipment.
Grilled Pizza with Cherry Tomatoes and Gorgonzola
This no-fuss and no-sauce pizza from Williams Sonoma highlights fresh tomatoes. The sweet cherry tomatoes get a slightly smoky note from cooking on the grill and are accentuated with fresh herbs and creamy Gorgonzola and fresh mozzarella. You won’t even miss the sauce!
Summer Squash Pizza
Make this veggie-topped summer pie from Good Housekeeping when zucchini and summer squash are taking over the stalls at the farmers market. We love the combination of the charred squash with tangy goat cheese, fresh herbs, and a kick of fresh chiles.
