Pizza prepared on the grill is unique in a lot of ways: Compared to its oven-baked counterpart, it generally has a chewier and thinner crust with a smokier flavor. The best part, though? Grilled pizza cooks fast, so you’re ready to eat in practically no time at all. If you’re ready to try your hand at this outdoorsy dinner, find delicious inspiration in this collection of our best grilled pizza recipes.

Chef John
Pineapple and ham on pizza is a deal breaker for many. But give this pineapple and prosciutto flatbread pizza a try, because often what people don’t like about pineapple and ham pizza is the tomato sauce in the mix. This grilled flatbread does it without sauce. “It’s a proven scientific fact that sweet pineapple pairs perfectly with the salty, savory flavor of ham on flatbread,” says Chef John. “Since there’s no sauce or cheese involved, this is the perfect way to enjoy this pairing.”
