| Yield: | 8 small pizzas |
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 1 envelope Fleischmann’s® Pizza Crust Yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ⅓ cups warm water (120 to 130 degrees F/50 degrees C)
- ⅓ cup oil
- ½ cup pizza sauce, or to taste
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
Instructions
- Start a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat.
- Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and 1/3 cup oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough that forms a ball and is slightly sticky. Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic but not sticky, about 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into 8 portions. Pat or roll dough on a well-floured counter to about 8-inch circles; they do not need to be perfect.
- Brush both sides of crusts with additional oil. Using hands, lift each crust carefully and place on grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bottoms are lightly browned and tops look set. Using long handled tongs, remove crusts from grill and place on a baking sheet with grilled-sides facing up.
- Lightly add sauce to the top of each grilled crust, then top with mozzarella cheese.
- Carefully slide pizzas back onto the grill. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes until bottom crusts are browned and cheese is melted. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
- To knead the dough, add just enough flour to the dough and your hand to keep the dough from sticking. Flatten dough and fold it toward you. Using the heels of your hands, push the dough away with a rolling motion. Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat the folding, pushing, and turning steps. Keep kneading dough until it is smooth and elastic. Use a little more flour if dough becomes too sticky, always working the flour into the ball of dough.
- The dough (Step 2) may be made up to 24 hours in advance, covered, and stored in the refrigerator. Punch down dough and complete remaining steps when ready to make pizzas.

Friends have been grilling pizza and I thought I’d give it a go. TIP I learned: My grille was too hot- so be patient until the flames die down. The recipe calls fro MEDIUM heat. I added mozzarella, basil, fig jam and bacon. My version of “Fig Pig” pizza. Tasted great, even the slightly burnt parts were nice. This is a nice way to raise the bar on pizza making.
This was fantastic! Best pizza we have made. Used pre-made pizza dough from ALDI, instead of making the dough. Also used cooking spray instead of oil.
loved this recipe. Not terribly filling, so plan a little extra, but it was great. also, careful not to overload a pizza. can get messy on a grill.
Omg easy and fantastic! I used a pizza dough mix and worked perfectly! Great for a gathering as everyone created their own personal pizza
The dough is amazing, especially for grilling. This pizza is probably my favorite way to make pizza now, and that’s saying a lot.
SO good!! I followed the recipe exactly, but instead of plain olive oil I brushed the dough with a combo of olive oil, garlic olive oil and harissa olive oil. It gave such amazing flavor and a bit of heat!
I followed the recipe and prep/grilling instructions, though I did use spelt flour (my preference) with some dried herbs in the crust, and let the bread machine do the heavy lifting. I grilled on the BBQ with a grill mat. The recipe made 3 smaller pizzas, each with 4 piece servings. I don’t think I would grill one side first next time. The crust puffed up into a flatbread without the weight of the toppings to make it more like pizza crust. Good recipe, but next time I will just put it on the grill with the toppings.
This pizza is the bomb. I usually make it on the grill and I follow the recipe pretty closely and it always is phenomenal. This time I didn’t realize grill was outta gas so did in the oven – broiled the crust as another reviewer suggested for about 4-5 minutes. Made larger pizzas doing these in the oven – I made 4 total: 1 cheese, 1 pepperoni w/ fresh tomatoes & mushrooms, 1 garlic & artichoke, & 1 garlic & artichoke with anchovies and other stuff that my stepdaughter added to make it uniquely her own. Baked for @7-8 minutes in 425 degree oven. This is something I get requests for a lot.
One of my favorite recipes on here. It’s a hit with the family and reminds us of the local Italian restaurants’ pizzas. I make it as often as I can!

This crust was so easy to throw together and tasted delicious. My family loved it on the grill. I may never make another pizza in the oven.
The dough/crust was wonderful. If using veggies, its good to pre-cook them. We grilled some mushrooms. Olives did well chopped and the cheese melted with them nicely. Great experience making these. I’m a kitchen klutz and even I could do this!
Excellent, and lots of fun for entertaining a family with kids at various stages of culinary sophistication. The grilled dough worked like a charm.
This is a delicious crust. I made 1/2 recipe and grilled 1 small pizza and saved the remaining dough in the refrigerator. I think the dough stored in the fridge for a few days was even better. Easy to work with and great texture.
First time grilling pizza and it turned out great. I made 4 medium sized pizza’s instead of 8 small ones.
I did somo chanches in the sauce. Makinng a fresh margherita.
This pizza is so very easy to make and very tasty!! My kids had so much fun making their own personal pan pizzas. We will be making these all summer long! So nice to have something different to make on the grill. Thanks for the great recipe!!
I make pizza on the grill all the time!!! Best advice- use Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce…your welcome!! 🙂 Also, try adding yellow/red peppers, bacon, chicken and mushrooms…Yum!!!
My most favorite way to eat pizza! I usually 1 1/2 cups freshly ground wheat flour to make it a tad bit more healthy.
Turned out really well. We had to put the pizza on the top rack to melt the cheese first, then move it down to finish off the crust. Delicious.
I had an BBQ pizza party. Everyone loved it! I made each person in the group their own individual sized pizza and each had their own choice of toppings. They turned out great! I had never made pizza dough before but was much easier than I thought. Will do this again and again…. Thanks for the great idea!!
