For best results, use a pizza stone on the grill to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings, as this can make it difficult to cook evenly.
Get creative with your toppings! Try different cheeses, vegetables, meats, and herbs to create your signature grilled pizza.
If you don't have a grill, you can also bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 450 degrees F (232 degrees C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
