Last week we focused on tips for grilling fish and chicken, and next up for National Barbecue Month is grilled pizza! Let me start by confessing that I've never made grilled pizza myself, so if you haven't heard of cooking pizza on a grill, we can learn this together! I have no doubt I'll like grilled pizza, judging from the many food bloggers who are raving about how grill-top cooking makes the pizza crust delightfully crisp.

There are great Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Pizza on the Grill at Amanda's Cooking. You can see the great grill marks she got on her pizza in the photo above. Amanda says that grilling pizza is a bit like stir-fry cooking, in that you need to have all your ingredients ready when you begin.

At The Perfect Pantry, Lydia has good instructions Easy Whole Wheat Pizza on the Grill. Lydia separates the dough into balls for individual pizzas before it rises, and her instructions include brushing one side of the rolled-out pizza dough with oil, cooking for 2-3 minutes on the grill, turn turning over and putting the toppings on the pre-cooked side.

More grilled pizza ideas from Seduction Meals, where a guest poster shares a great-sounding recipe for Thin Crust Pizza on the Barbecue. There are two options for toppings in this recipe: one pizza with mozzarella, olives, and fresh basil, and a white pizza with chopped clams and garlic.

There's another Grilled Pizza at Wicked Good Dinner, where Dawn says you can even use purchased-pizza dough for pizza cooked on the grill. She's confident that "once you master bread dough on the grill, you'll never want to eat pizza any other way."
