Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Reserved chopped tomato from Caprese Salad Stuffed Tomatoes recipe
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (16-ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
- Reserved mozzarella, sliced thin, from Caprese Salad Stuffed Tomatoes recipe
- 1/4 bunch basil leaves
Instructions
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When it is hot, add the tomato and garlic. Cook down until slightly thickened and some of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
- Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium heat. Preheat the broiler.
- Pat the pizza dough out into a 12 by 6-inch rectangle and brush with 1 tablespoon of oil. Transfer the dough to the grill and grill, oiled side down, until the dough starts to crisp and turn brown on the bottom side, about 3 minutes. Brush the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and flip it over and grill for another 3 minutes. Remove from the grill to a sheet pan. Spread it with the tomato sauce and cover with the mozzarella slices. Put it under the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 minutes. Remove from the broiler, sprinkle with basil leaves, then cut and serve.

Reviews
We LOVED this Pizza! What a Marvelous way to reuse the insides of the tomates. The sauce was Fabulous. I added a little oregano because it’s one of my favorite herbs and followed the rest of the recipe to the T. Grillling the dough gave it a great flavor. The pizza all around was 5 stars and the fresh basil MMMMMMMMmmmm.
I have mede this a few times, I still have yet to grill it, but it turns out great in the oven.
We love, love, love margherita pizza and this was a great recipe! So quick and easy…and perfect for a weeknight dinner. Thanks Sandra!
