Recipe: Homemade Margherita Pizza On A Charcoal Grill

Margherita Pizza Recipe

This easy pizza recipe uses pre-made pizza dough, pre-made San Marzano pizza sauce, chewy mozzarella cheese, a sprinkling of basil and a crispy crust. We used our a Char-Broil Kamander Charcoal Grill with a pizza stone on it, but feel free to use whatever grill you have, just make sure it gets HOT (600-800 degrees)! The beauty of making pizza at home is that you can make your pizza with whatever toppings you want. More cheese, please.

Ingredients

• Trader Joe’s pre-made pizza dough
• Fresh mozzarella
• Fresh basil
• San Marzano Pizza Sauce
• Garlic

This is the grill we’re using: Char-Broil 27″ Kamander Charcoal Grill. It’s AMAZING! This Charcoal grill uses insulated double-wall steel construction to heat quickly and gets to a very high heat.
