Ingredients

1/2 frozen store-bought pizza dough, defrosted
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for grilling
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut crosswise
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup pitted black olives (recommended: kalamata)
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 bunch arugula
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat grill to 350 degrees F.

Place 1/2 the defrosted dough on an oiled baking sheet. Stretch out the dough to form a rough rectangle almost the size of the baking sheet, about 9 by 13 inches. Lift the dough from the baking sheet, from 1 end and carefully place it on the grill. When the bottom is browned, around 3 to 5 minutes, using a tongs, turn the pizza crust over. Continue cooking for about 1 minute, or until the second side begins to brown. Using tongs move the crust to a cooler area of the gill and brush it with olive oil. Add half of the toppings, beginning with the mozzarella, then the tomato, red onion, garlic, olives, and capers. After 2 to 4 minutes, the cheese will be melted. Slide the pizza onto a baking sheet, place half of the arugula on top and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the other 1/2 of dough.

Perfect Pizza!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So good! This was my first time doing a homemade pizza on the grill, but it was easy and turned out delicious. The only thing... I would change would be to mix the garlic with the olive oil instead of adding it after the cheese. Otherwise it was perfect. Read more

Delish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very tasty and easy to play with. You can add whatever you want, in any order. One word to another reviewer regarding TV... straying from printed recipe: Sometimes it seems to me that the chefs are preparing the recipes without having actually done them in the past and they sometimes stray from the written recipe. Pauala once stated that she thought up a recipe the night before, but had never actually prepared the dish. I think this happens a lot. I see chefs correcting themselves frequently-watch closely! Still, they're way aahead of me!!!Read more

Tried this recipe tonight on my new BBQ using the premade pizza dough from Trader Joe's. Worked like a charm.

Amazing!

Everyone must try this! It is also fun to add some meat and play around with your own toppings. I like to add basil as well.

great but confused
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

why is the recipe here on-line too often not the same as the tv preparation? on the show, paula starts with the arugula and... ends with the cheese. it's great both ways, but a very different taste and texture, as the first way, the arugula has a chance to wilt. altho i understand we can use our own wits and taste, it would be nice if "y'all" could get it together.Read more
