Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F) and lightly oil the grill grates with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Roll out 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round. Brush the top side with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Place the dough oil-side down onto the hot grill grates and grill for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and grill marks appear.
  4. Step 4: Flip the dough carefully and quickly spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the grilled side.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded smoked mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then top with 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, 1/2 cup cooked crumbled Italian sausage, and 1/3 cup chopped cooked bacon.
  6. Step 6: Close the grill lid and cook for 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles and the crust is crisp and cooked through.
  7. Step 7: Remove pizza from the grill and scatter 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves on top before slicing and serving.
