A quick and easy grilled pizza recipe featuring smoky BBQ chicken, melty mozzarella, and a crispy charred crust perfect for outdoor cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball pizza dough (about 12 ounces / 340 g), store-bought or homemade
  • 1 ½ cups cooked chicken (about 200 g), shredded or chopped
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (120 ml), your favorite brand
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (170 g)
  • ¼ cup red onion (about 40 g), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the dough)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F / 230°C). If using charcoal, spread the coals evenly. Place a pizza stone or cast iron skillet on the grill grates to heat up for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked shredded chicken with ½ cup (120 ml) of BBQ sauce until well coated. Set aside.
  3. On a floured surface, gently stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Brush one side lightly with olive oil.
  4. Place the oiled side of the dough down onto the hot pizza stone or directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and has grill marks. Brush the top side with olive oil and carefully flip the dough.
  5. Quickly spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on the cooked side of the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly, scatter the BBQ chicken, and add red onion slices. Close the grill lid and cook for another 4-6 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is crispy.

Notes

Brush the dough with olive oil to prevent sticking. Use a pizza stone or cast iron skillet for even heat distribution. Keep the grill lid closed while cooking to melt cheese evenly. Rotate pizza halfway through cooking for even crisping. Use a spray bottle of water to control flare-ups.
