Yesterday was the summer solstice – the longest day of the year. That means that Summer is officially here along with higher temperatures for a few months. Since I like to cook, it brings to mind the expression, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”
On that note, I discovered a simple and inexpensive way to keep my kitchen and house cooler with a surprising way of cooking pizza – on the grill. Today I am going to share with you how I do it.
For the pizza, I pick up a couple of Jack’s thin crust pizzas at Walmart. I preheat my gas grill to 400 degrees.
Once my grill is ready, I unwrap my pizzas, discard the plastic wrap and cardboard, and place them on the grill. I set my timer for 7 minutes. When the time is up, I rotate my pizzas 180 degrees and then grill them for about another 8 minutes. (It’s important to check the temperature on your grill. It is easy for the temperature to fluctuate and you don’t want it to get too hot and burn the pizza. A slight char around the crust is normal.)
I remove them from the heat and let them sit for a couple of minutes. Paired with fruit or a simple side salad, they make a quick and easy meal that’s delicious. Plus, I did not have to heat up my kitchen.
Didn’t that seem easy enough?
These little babies disappear quite quickly after I make them. Another thing that goes quickly is NESTLÉ® DRUMSTICK® BUTTERFINGER® Drumsticks. Need I say more?
Want to try grilling pizza on your gas grill? Just do what I do. Go to Walmart and pick up a couple of Jack’s pizzas in the freezer section. It’s crazy at just how affordable they are! While in the novelty ice cream section, pick up some NESTLÉ® DRUMSTICK® BUTTERFINGER® and Vanilla® Cones.
Get pizza dough roll it out with flour and a little olive oil on one side. Ore-heat the BBQ and put on the rolled out dough. After it gets form flip it and put you faviorte toppings on. Now that’s BBQ pizza.
It sounds delicious.
My brother grills everything. He has even made pies in his grill. I love to cook meats and veggies on ours, tto keep the kitchen cool
Grilled pizza is THE best!! My husband thought I was crazy when I first suggested it but now he’s totally sold.
I’ve never grilled a pizza, but it looks like a great idea and so much better than heating up the kitchen when it’s hot already. I could definitely go for one of those drumsticks, too.
I think I may like grilled pizza better than baked! These pictures look so yummy.
We love pizza but have never tried grilling the same. I guess that’s next up on our grill this weekend. What a great idea!
Here in Vegas, we try to grill just about everything to not heat up the house! I haven’t done a pizza yet. I’m afraid I’ll burn it to a crisp I need to just do it!
We love to spend the summer evenings outdoors. Cooking outdoors makes the evening complete. Can’t wait to grill up pizza!
We’ve never grilled pizza before, but it’s my favorite when it’s crispy. We will have to try this.
I have never grilled a pizza before but that looks delicious. Thanks for the tips I think we will try it this week!
Yum, grills crisp up the pizza so nicely. This makes me want to do this sometime soon.
We prefer Jacks’ Pizza! I find that a thin crust gives us better flavor than overly thick crust pizzas.
I like the crispy aspect of the thin crust. Just can’t get that with a thick crust.
I have never tried grilling a pizza before but might have to now. You make it sound easy!
Gonna try and do this tonight. The temp is 97 degrees here right now. No since in heating up the kitchen. Thanks Lynda!
You are so right, Pam. Keep the heat out where it belongs!
How did I not know that you can grill pizza! I’ve got to try this out this weekend
Oh cool! I’ve never seen pizza on the grill before. That is a great way to keep the house cool on pizza night.
I love grilled pizza and pretty much don’t eat it any other way. It’s just so tasty!
We have never tried to BBQ a pizza before but it look like it would be amazing!
How much would you have to adjust the time if the pizza was thawed?
Mmmm… drumsticks are my favourite sweet treat 🙂
It’s best to grill them in their frozen state. (http://www.jackspizza.com/grilling/)
Awww yeah! We LOVE grilled pizza in our family! SO good.
