Summer is too hot to bake, but you can turn your grill into a pizza oven and bbq pizza like a pro. This video shows you two methods for grilling pizza on a gas grill; one straight on the grates and another with a cast iron pan.
This method is inspired from my trip to Timmy’s Legendary Grilled Pizza. It’s one of the best pizza places I’ve been. A mix of their uncommon pizza toppings and their method of grilling cranks out excellent pizza. I had to talk to the grill master and find out how he did it.
The secret to the method is putting the cheese directly on the crust, which ensures that it melts. Most grilled pizza gives a burnt crust and cold toppings, but not this method.
Recipe:
1 Pizza Dough
Cheese
Add your favorite toppings
PRO TIP: Make up an extra dough or two so you can do a practice run. Dough is cheap and it’s easy to burn your first one.

Yay RI!
What about using a pizza stone?
I mean the cop was totally wrong but the guy riding is a fool he had 3-4 ways to avoid that ending wtf!!!!
Both Ways Look Awesome …. Very Nice !!!
Brilliant Video. Clear and concise. Thank you.
Wheres yours sauce dogg
Grill grates for me.. with a nice home made sauce 😋
Cool video. I'm going to try it with a 1/4 inch piece of steel. Wish me luck
Providence has the best restaurants.
I just use a pizza stone on my natural gas Weber Genesis and use the same temperature as recommend for a regular oven… Turns out just the same 😋. PS – Don't forget a very light dusting with flour to keep the crust from sticking to the stone.
no sauce? for me its not pizza without the sauce.
Assassino!
Recipe for the dough?
I think 90%of pizza places put cheese then toppings loo
Io ti denuncerei 🙂
Important piece of info is missing. What temperature?
that first quarter-turn was rather superfluous since that side of the crust hadn't been on the grates yet 🙂
Do you think I should use pizza pans?
Hi ..I love it ..Going to have a party and a change of pace from the regular ..so will have pizza ..I will be using regular charcoal brickets … any thing I should know to not burn the crust..
Sauce?
Will try tomorrow. Tomorrow is Father’s day. My son is coming over to eat pizza and im his mom. He is coming to say Happy Father’s day to me. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I used an old cast iron flat about 12 inches. Weber was showing 700 degrees . Made the pizza inside in the cast iron flat. Started the cook on gas stove to give crust head start (about 30 secs or hear dough popping. Put cast iron and pizza into 700 degree Weber. About 3 mins later pizza.
What A Grate Video!
no tomato sauce wtf
Automatically throws homade pizza dough in with no explanation.
Consider adding some clean bricks in the space to hold and regulate the heat
Cheers, simple and well explained.
Just made another pizza, this way…as always, delicious!
Cast iron!
I tried both but I still feel like its better constructed in the traditional manner and with a pizza stone or cast iron. Cool idea though. The real thing to understand is the dough thickness. Too thin and it burns.
This is on the menu for tomorrow. I recently bought a cast iron pizza pan from the Lodge outlet store. It works great in the oven, just preheat it first. It will be interesting to try it on the grill. I am going to put a few pieces of smoke wood on the side of the grill for imitation wood fired flavor. A wood fired pizza oven is on the wish list…..
Hi, so left and right burners on max and mid on lowest ?
This pizza is so easy…just did another one on the grill grates again…Toppings: Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone cheese, Sauteed Squash, Sauteed Shiitake mushrooms/Onions/Peppers/Garlic mixture, Italian Sausage, Fresh Basil & Cilantro…All added in the order listed…Once again, Outstanding! Too bad I can't post a picture…it was awesome, though! Thanks, again for the info on this pizza on the grill!
I like the idea of making the pizza directly on grill grates. Going to have to try that next time. Thanks
Thanks for the info & tips! I tried it, today, and it came out excellent. Your times and burner settings/temperature range are spot on for my Weber Genesis grill. I did, however, brush each side with extra virgin olive oil just before it went on the grill to be sure the dough wouldn't stick…then, cheese on first then the topping (Sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms & garlic) and a little more cheese with fresh basil, thyme and cilantro from my garden. We'll be doing this one again and this recipe is so quick & easy…this recipe is a keeper! Also, I grilled directly on the grill grates.
The pizza doesn't stick on the grill ?
How backward can you be cheese without sauce and wet toppings over that
You gotta have SAUCE….!
The first version doesn’t look like pizza…
Do you have to prep the grill grates at all? Will the dough not stick to the bottom?
Thanks for the tips. I will try tomorrow on my new Weber gas grill.
how did you get the dough not to stick onto the grill?
Do you have a recipe for the pizza dough? Looks delicious man.
Cast Iron👍
SACRILEGIO!!!!!
Dude….
This is amazing! I tried your method on my Weber Genesis, and it turned out perfect!
Thank you for posting!!
