BBQed Pizza – Have you ever tried it?

Posted in Food on 06/27/2009 03:37 pm by Cacey

I was feeling in a creative, “try something new” mood the other day and decided it would be fun to BBQ my pizza instead of baking it. I’d heard about it before but had never actually tried it myself.

To start, I googled “BBQed pizza” and came up with a variety of random sites — none of which were very clear or helpful. So I did my best to combine their ideas and here’s what I came up with…

  1. Preheated my BBQ to get it nice and hot.
  2. Prepped my pizza (see recipe below) and placed it on a baking sheet.
  3. Lined the grill with foil and placed the baking sheet on top.
  4. Left for a few minutes to start a timer.
  5. Came back outside to discover smoke and flames billowing out the sides.
  6. Realized that the foil was a very bad idea because it trapped in the air, causing massive flames!
  7. Removed the foil, put the baking sheet on the top shelf and turned the BBQ to low.
  8. Cooked it for about 20 more minutes (for a total of 30) – the more you open the BBQ the longer it will take to cook.
  9. Enjoyed a slightly smoky but very yummy pizza!

In the end it turned out to be quite easy and had a nice crisp crust! My husband and son loved it!

My Favorite Summer Pizza Combo:

  • Trader Joes whole wheat pizza dough (did you know you can freeze it? I keep a stock in my freezer and pull it out that morning to defrost – it works great!)
  • Your favorite BBQ sauce (Right now I love Smoky Bacon Grill Sauce – a little goes a long way!)
  • Cheese of your choice (I use the Weight Watcher blend to help keep it light)
  • Grilled Chicken, diced
  • Sliced Red Onion
  • Pineapple tidbits

    Hey Cacey,
    Your recipe for BBQ'd pizza had me and my work partner laughing, and also convinced we're gonna try it for supper here at work! Thanks for the great ideas. Was wondering, I love tastefully simple as well... can I purchase them through you or do I need to stick with someone more local for me? The Garlic Garlic and the Pesto one are my two favorites!
    Thanks!
    Amy
  • I'm glad you're going to try it - it really wasn't that hard! :)
    I remember you mentioning that you liked Tastefully Simple - they do have some pretty fun and unique stuff! I have a website and they make it pretty easy to order online. If you want to check it out go to: www.tsbycacey.com. Thanks Amy!

    Hi Cace! I'm enjoying getting your updates and reading all of your great new ideas, but I was thinking you have a lot of great "old" recipes and ideas - be sure to share those as well! I've been wanting to make your "enchilada fantasticas" and am sure you've given me the recipe before but can't find it - maybe you could post it here? Thanks.
  • Good idea - I'll do that!
  • Has anything you cooked every gone BAD? REALLY bad? I'd like to hear about that? =D Because every time I've eaten at your table, the food has been perfection! I imagine the BBQ pizza is devine.
  • Yes - I've had many failures along the way! The pizza was almost a bust - I just got lucky! And that's because I only serve you tried and true dishes that I've made over and over and over! :)
