This sausage and vegetable pizza combination with three cheeses and a rosemary-infused balsamic drizzle makes for a unique, summer pizza. Store bought crusts make it easy and grilling with friends is all part of the summer vibe we look forward to.
For a small group work with one crust at a time so your pizza is "hot off the grill!"
Rosemary-Infused Balsamic Vinaigrette
Whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic and rosemary.
Grill Toppings
Preheat barbecue. Brush sausage, peppers and onion with some of the vinaigrette. Set remainder aside for finishing.
Grill sausage until cooked and vegetables until blackened. Cool, cut as desired and set aside.
These steps can be done in advance. Be sure to allow cooked veggies to come to room temperature (or warm them) before topping your pizzas.
Grill Gluten Free Pizza Crust
Use package directions on your pizza crust as a guide. Use a reusable grilling sheet if desired.
Grill one side of each pizza crust for 2 minutes or until nicely browned. Transfer to pizza peel or large cutting board turning the cooked side up.
Sprinkle the cooked side of each crust with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Top with sausage, peppers and red onion.
Crumble goat cheese over pizza.
Sprinkle with chopped tomato and green onion.
Final Cooking
Return pizza to barbecue to melt the cheese and crisp the bottom crust, 3-5 minutes. If the barbecue is too hot turn it down or off.*
Drizzle each pizza with 1½ tablespoon vinaigrette. Cut and serve.
Notes
*For hot pizza with a crisp crust cook it on the grill, not on the raised rack above the grill. The best way to perfect your cooking method is to try everything and see what works for you.To up your pizza game try this recipe with a homemade Thin Crust Pizza Dough using a pizza stone or pizza steel right on the grill.
