Is grilling pizza hard?

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. 

How long do you grill buffalo chicken pizza?

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.

Can you cook a frozen pizza on the 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.

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!
