Why I Love This Recipe

Grilled Pizza is an art. It puts almost all other pizzas to shame except for those that are made in a wood burning oven. But since wood burning ovens are NOT common, let’s master the art of grilled pizza so we can chow down on it all summer long. Grilled pizza dough is basically perfection. It gives the dough that extra punch of flavor from the grill and makes the bottom of the crust perfectly crispy!

I’ve done a grilled pizza or two before - but this year I’m upping the ante with grilled crust AND my fav stone fruit - fresh peaches. I love peaches and this is a good change from eating them in all the salads (think avocado peach salad!) or desserts (grilled peaches with vanilla ice cream). There’s some fresh mozzarella on there too. Basil because it enhances just about everything. Prosciutto to give it a salty bite. And a garlic olive oil mixture to bring it all together. Grilled Peach and Prosciutto Pizza is THE perfect summer pizza pie and I know you guys will love it!

  1. We,'re new fans. Born and raised in CA. We have not been disappointed yet. Every recipe has been outstanding. We keep trying to not take a picture but they're all so beautiful too we can't help ourselves. Just wanted to say THANK YOU.

    1. I did them raw - just sliced off the pit! But you could grill them for 1-2 minutes on each side until grill marks appear!
