Outdoor Grilling Style Cheese Pizza

This isn’t your average grilled pizza—this is next-level outdoor pizza perfection. By grilling the dough directly on the grates before flipping and topping, you get an incredible combo of crispy, charred crust with a soft, fluffy interior. The two-stage grilling gives you textures you won’t get in a traditional oven bake. Top it simply with sauce and cheese, or load it up with your favorite meats and veggies. This crust can handle it.

Grilled Cheese Pizza

Say goodbye to soggy crusts and hello to crispy, bubbly goodness. This Outdoor Grilling Style Cheese Pizza is made with Urban Slicer’s Outdoor Grilling Dough and designed to cook right on the grill. The trick? Par-baking the dough first, flipping it, then topping it.

It gives you a rustic, lightly charred crust with a perfect chew. This method is surprisingly easy, crazy delicious, and fully customizable. Cheese pizza is the base—but add anything you’ve got in the fridge and make it yours.

How to Make Outdoor Grilling Style Cheese Pizza

Prepare the Dough

Pour the dough mix into a bowl and add 1 cup of warm water. Knead for 8–10 minutes by hand or with a mixer using a dough hook. Divide the dough in half, cover it, and let it rise at room temperature for 2–4 hours. You’re looking for it to double in size.

Preheat Your Grill

Get your BBQ or smoker fired up to 500–550°F. This method works directly on the grates, but a pizza stone or steel will also work. While the grill is heating, roll out your dough.

Roll and Shape the Dough

Flour your work surface lightly and roll each dough ball into a 13” circle using a rolling pin or your hands. Keep it thin but even, with slightly thicker edges if you want a defined crust.

Par-Bake the Dough on the Grill

Place your rolled dough directly onto the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for about 5 minutes. You’ll see bubbles forming on top and browning on the bottom—this means it’s ready to flip.

Flip and Top the Pizza

Carefully flip the dough over. The grilled side is now your topping side. Spread your pizza sauce evenly, sprinkle on the Spiceology Pizza Cheese blend, then pile on the shredded cheese. Leave a small gap around the edge for the crust.

Finish Grilling

Return the topped pizza to the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden.

Slice and Serve

Let your pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set and avoids burning your mouth. Then slice into wedges and serve hot!
