Grilling: Pizza
This is the method I arrived at after some trial and error this evening, before reading this post. One word of caution is that, depending on the heat of your fire, the crust can go from raw to burnt in a very short amount of time, so be ready to move it to a cooler part of the grill very quickly.
Grilling: Pizza
We tryed grilled pizza on the gasser this weekend. Prepared a simple dough with 3 c. flour, 1 c. water, 1 tsp. yest, salt and a couple of Tbsp. olive oil. One rising, then divided into 4 balls and refridgerated for about 6 hours. Brought to room temp before grilling.
Set grill on high one side and other off. Pressed out dough on parchment strips. Oiled top well, then flipped over onto cool side. Dragged over to hot side with tongs. Cooked up beautifully. Topped and place bakc on grill. Started on hot side until dough was done, then moved over to cool side to finishing melting cheese.

Grilling: Pizza
Just had my first attempt at grilling pizza this past weekend. I went with the cookie sheet method and it worked wonderfully. I erred on the side of caution and was generous with the olive oil on both sides of the crust but had absolutely no sticking. Another advantage of the cookie sheet method is that flipping it is super easy - just pick up the sheet and dump the crust on the grill on the other side.
For the dough I used that 101 cookbooks recipe, but used about half whole wheat bread flour.
This weekend I'm going be courageous and go for grilling directly on the grate! Thanks for this post and the other helpful comments~
Grilling: Pizza
We have a gas grill with 3 horizontal burners. We also use an inexpensive square kiln shelf (purchased from a pottery supply company for 25% of what you'd pay for a pizza stone that's made from the same stuff). We use a lower, indirect fire and put a generous handful of corn meal under the pizza. We also tend to use pre-formed corn meal crusts for our pizzas. However, we cook/roast a huge variety of breads, meats, veggies, etc. on the grill...often using the stone to spread the heat. Especially during the summer, this helps with keeping the house cooler and the a/c bills lower.

Not to be too different, but would it be possible to just buy one of those better brands of frozen pizza's at the grocery store and put it on the grill?
I have one of those "Grill Grate's", and am thinking of experimenting using it to grill a pizza. Iam talking about a gas grill, with the lid down....
Grilling: Pizza
We "grilled" pizza on our smoker (Big Green Egg) last weekend. We had so much trouble getting the dough transferred off the pizza peel onto the pizza stone in the grill, we ended up just doubling it over and making calzones! I will definitely try cooking the pizza on a cookie sheet first and then transferring to grill. What a great idea - Thanks!!

We bought some kit at Williams Sonoma to grills our pizza, but it took too much effort to make it.
