How to Make 3 Minute Pizza on the Grill

There’s just something about grilled pizza, it’s crispy, smoky, and totally customizable. You can grab dough from the store, ask for a ball from your local pizza shop, or make your own (my dough recipe is coming soon!). Add whatever toppings you like—this method is all about high heat, fast moves, and big flavor.

What Makes It Nutritious?

  • Rich in fiber, beta-carotene, and vitamin C from vegetables
  • Lightly fried in coconut oil for healthy fat and satisfying texture
  • Anti-inflammatory turmeric and digestion-supporting ginger
  • Gut-friendly probiotics and protein from the yogurt

Ingredients

Required Ingredients:

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (store-bought, local pizzeria, or homemade)
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Sauce of your choice (tomato, pesto, ricotta cheese, etc.)
  • Shredded cheese (mozzarella, burrata, anything goes)
  • Toppings (whatever you love: veggies, meats, herbs)
  • Salt and Pepper

Optional to Elevate Flavor:

  • Parmigiana Reggiano cheese (for the crust)

Steps

  1. Heat your grill to at least 500°F. You want it really hot so the crust cooks quickly and gets crispy.
  2. Set your dough in a bowl with olive oil so that it gets to room temperature.
  3. Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a medium-thin crust.
  4. Brush your grill grates with oil then once the grill is at 500°F place the dough on the grill (It will not stick because its very hot!) and close the lid. Let it cook for about 1.5 minutes, until it bubbles and gets grill marks underneath.
  5. Flip the dough using tongs or spatula. Let it cook for about 10 seconds on the other side, just enough to set the surface.
  6. Remove from the grill (temporarily), flip again so the grilled side is facing up, and add your toppings quickly. This is where you want to move fast, have everything prepped and next to you!
  7. Return the pizza to the grill, close the lid, and cook for another 1.5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bottom is crisp.
  8. Slice & serve! Optional: finish with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil, more cheese, or chili flakes.

Tips:

Make sure to add enough toppings and ingredients to balance the carbs with great nutritional produce and get all of your fiber and protein!
