Grilled Pizza{s}

I've come to the realization that when I make pizzas, I never use specific toppings. It's really just whatever I have lying around. I'm super excited about this post though because this will be the first time I grill a pizza. We finally completed the paver project in the backyard so that we could use our grill. It's a pretty awesome one at that, there are interchangeable inserts included with it... one being a pizza stone!

My main concern with grilling the pizza was "How will I get the pizza on there?" Usually when I've made pizzas, it was in the oven. I'd use 2 spatulas to move the pizza around in the oven which was not fun. So I took a trip to the store today and picked up a wooden pizza peel. Hopefully it will help make this experience easier.

Vegetable Pizza with Goat Cheese

sun-dried tomatoes {homemade}

Because I cooked these on the grill, the temperature varied. I had it heated between 400-500 degrees, and each pizza was cooked for about 10-15 minutes. I also let them cool for 10 minutes before cutting them. 

I make my own tomato sauce for pizzas, but because I had leftover sauce from another time I just used that up. When I make more eventually, I will post the recipe.

Enjoy!
