I find grilling pizza to be easy once you have the technique. I will show you step by step how easy it is to create buffalo chicken ranch pizza on your grill.
I always say fresh is best but yes! You can cook a frozen pizza on the grill. Heat the grill, setting the grill temperature to low to medium-low (about 400°F). Remove wrapper and cardboard from frozen pizza. Place pizza directly on center of grill rack; close lid. Grill 13 min., rotating pizza 1/2 turn with spatula after 8 min. Check back often to ensure the pizza is not getting burned on the underside.
The length of time it takes to grill a pizza depends a lot on the temperature of the grill. The hotter the grill the shorter the time it will take to grill a pizza on the grill. With a hot grill, 500 and above, it will take under 5 minutes.
Pizza Grilling Tips:
- Make sure the grill is preheated on high. A minimum of 400 degree is optimal.
- Clean the grill grates so they are free from other grilling experiences.
- Stay close to the grill as the grilling process takes about 5 minutes from start to finish.
- Have a cutting board or serving platte near by.
- Turn off the gas when finished. Safety First!
