So to grill pizzas, dust a pizza peel with corn-
meal, roll out one pizza shell and lay it on the
peel. Outside on a medium-heated grill, slide the
shell off the peel. While it cooks, roll out the next
one and slide it onto the grill as well. Watch close-
ly. When grill marks start to show and the shell is
easily flipped over, do so. Grill the other side. If a
bubble starts to show, pierce it gently with a metal
spatula. Cook the rest of the shells and bring
inside for guests to top.
Start with the sauce and spread evenly up to
1/2-inch from the edge. Sprinkle a handful of
cheese over the sauce. Layer on flat meats like
pepperoni, sliced ham and/or Canadian bacon.
Then sprinkle on the vegetables keeping in mind
that too many can make the pizza soggy. Crum-
bled meats like cooked ground meat and pork
go on top of the vegetables. Then to hold it all
in place, sprinkle on another handful of cheese.
Back in the day, we sprinkled on something called
Fairy Dust, but just in case that’s still a secret, I
won’t describe exactly how it was made. However,
doesn’t a little grated Parmesan and a pinch of
dried oregano sound like a good finishing touch?
Scoop the topped pizza shell onto the peel and
slide on the grill again. This time, close the lid to
hold in the heat. Check often and since everything
is already cooked, it’s done when the cheese has
melted and the crust is golden. Just keep a close
eye on the bottom of the shell so it doesn’t burn.
Adjust the heat as necessary.
I made grilled pizza Sunday night for dinner.
I sauteed mushrooms, onions and green peppers
for the topping and cooked Italian sausage. When
cooking on the grill, it doesn’t stay in the heat as
long as an oven, so pre-cooking those toppings is
best. After I removed the pizzas from the grill, I
topped mine with freshly chopped basil.
Obviously pizza shells and sauce can be pur-
chased at most grocery stores, so if you don’t have
time to make it from scratch, don’t let that stop
you from making your own pizzas at home, using
the ingredients you like best. Kids like to make
their own and do-it-yourself pizza is fun at a party.
Just prepare shells ahead of time, lay out toppings
and let the guests create their own. Then someone
just needs to man the grill and finish cooking
them.

and I had heard of cooking pizzas on the grill, so I
decided to give it a try.
Pizza Dough
1-1/2 c. warm water
2 tsp. yeast
2 tsp. sugar
4-1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp, olive oil
Dissolve yeast and sugar in water. Add half the
flour and start to mix with a wooden spoon or by
hand. Then combine the salt with the remaining
flour and add to the mixture. Drizzle in the olive
oil. Keep trying to mix by spoon or hand but when
it gets too difficult, plop it on to a floured counter
top and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough
is smooth. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for
about 30 minutes. That recipe makes 4 10-inch
pizzas. I just rolled it out with a rolling pin.
Quick Pizza Sauce
1 large can crushed tomatoes
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp, tomato paste
1 tsp. dried basil
Heat the crushed tomatoes in a small pot. Add
Italian seasoning, sugar, pepper and tomato paste.
Cook on medium heat for at least 10 minutes. The
sauce will reduce a little during that time. I tasted
it and decided to add the dried basil.
I worked at Pizza Hut in high school and was
an assistant manager during two years of college.
At that time, there was a rank one could achieve
of Pizza Hut Professional, and I still consider
myself to be one. I’m kidding around, but it is
important to know what you’re doing because
