    I don’t think I’ll ever go back to oven pizza.

    Ever.

    Never. Ever. Never.

    Grilled Hawaiian Pizza

    Prep Time25 mins
    Cook Time20 mins
    Servings: 4 persons

    Ingredients

    • Store bought or homemade pizza dough ($1)
    • Olive oil for brushing ($.25)
    • 1/2 fresh pineapple, thinly sliced ($1.25)
    • 1 cup store bought or homemade pizza sauce ($.50)
    • 2 cups cooked and diced ham ($1.50)
    • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese ($1.50)

    Instructions

    • Make homemade pizza dough. Let rise. (I sorta skipped this rise part and the dough turned out just fine. I was in a hurry. What can I say?!)

    This is all we had for dinner.

    The boys and I ate this pizza without cheese. And quite honestly, it didn’t need it!  Quite amazing without the cheese.

    And I’m telling you. I’m never going back to oven pizza.

    A splurge worth making!

    1. We love grilled pizza, too! I’ve even had success with grilling frozen pizza. We rarely buy it b/c my DH makes an awesome crust. For those rare occasions, however, grilling it really makes the frozen pizza taste like something a little more special.

    3. Oh. My. Lanta. This looks too DIE for!

      Two questions (b/c I’m totally trying this):
      1. So, regular old pizza dough (homemade, rolled from a can, whatever) will work on a grill? I mean, it doesn’t stick, doesn’t fall through the slats and get all gloppy on the underneath part of your grill, cooks through, etc.? I’ve seen special stones and such you can buy for grilling pizza, but never seen it done straight on the grill surface.

      2. I’ve noticed you’ve mentioned in a few recipes that you omit cheese from your and your boys’ portions. Are you all allergic to it? Just trying to cut calories/cost? Just wondered the reason! Cheese goes on pretty much anything I make. 🙂

      • @familyofthree,

        It was to die for! I’m not sure about the refrigerated dough. You’d definitely want to brush it…you might try rolling it out and laying it on a greased surface and flash freezing it for 10 minutes or so, so it’s nice and cool (and not droopy!) when you set it on the grill.

        And yes, my oldest has a dairy allergy. I suspect the same for my middle guy, but have never had him tested…and I omit it because I’m breastfeeding and am not ready to find out if Tyler has an allergy!

        • That’s why I love your recipes and they are so easy to tweak! My daughter is also allergic to milk! We have the black bean coconut brownies in the oven right now. Thank you for your recipes! If you can, when you make something with dairy, please let us know what you do for your son to eat. I spend a lot of time tweaking recipes and then trying to make one of the batches without “milk” for my daughter so we all eat the same thing.

    4. Hawaiian Pizza is my absolute fav! I am the only one in the family that likes it though so I don’t make it often. I have never tried it on the grill though… I may have to do that!

    8. All I make is homemade pizza~I have never tried it on the grill. That is on my menu for the next pay period. I love grilled anything and especially pineapple. Keep those yummy recipes coming 🙂

    9. This makes me SO hungry. I was thinking about getting a TJ pizza dough today anyway and now I know what to do with it.

    10. Thanks so much for all your great recipes. This one looks great. I’m looking forward to trying it. I’ve never heard of grilled pizza. I’m a little concerned about it falling through, but I’ll try the flash freezing first.

    12. I do frozen for convenience since I don’t want to cook. its usually about 6 (for one pizza alone!) which I don’t understand…but its definitely something interesting to ponder! plus its fun for date night!

    13. I love homemade pizza on the grill, just started this last month. Making hawaiian, pepperoni and pepperoni/mushroom for my family tonight. Also trying your grilled pineapple slices tonight too. Thanks for the idea.

    15. Tried this tonight!

      I made four individual pizzas – two had diced chicken / bacon pieces and two had diced chicken / pineapple. I used a box mix for the crust and my fiance thought that the crust tasted flour-y… If I can figure out how to get rid of the flour taste, this will become a favorite in our house.

      I haven’t figured out the cost…but the bacon was part of our Christmas present and I used coupons for the sauce, chicken and pineapple.

    17. This is the best. I did it and it does NOT fall through the grill at all. The crust is perfection! Just a note, grilled pineapple is awesome (fresh or canned rings) on vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce. It is serious birthday material.

    18. The ony thing I can add is a sweet bbq sauce instea of the pizza sauce. A restauant near me fixes i this way and it is sooooo good.
