Pre-heat grill
- Pre-heat your grill to medium heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, you want to make sure you only lay coals on one side of the grill.

- Once the mushrooms are cooked, add a pinch of salt to the mushrooms and set aside.
- While your grill is preheating, you want to gather all of your ingredients together and make an easy pizza assembly area for yourself near the grill.
Making the pizza
- Once your grill is preheated drizzle or brush one side of your pizza dough with some of the olive oil making sure to cover all of your dough and place oil side down on the grill. If you are using a charcoal grill, place pizza on the side without coals.
- Depending on the size of your grill, you may have to do 1 pizza at a time.
- Now drizzle or brush the top sides of your dough with more olive oil.
- After the dough has been on the grill for 2-3 minutes, flip over your dough and begin cooking the other side.
- Once you have flipped over your pizza dough, go ahead and sprinkle on your garlic and a little salt and pepper.
- Now add about ¼ of your cheese mixture to each pizza top then your herbs and mushrooms and close your lid.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes making sure the bottoms of your dough are not getting to dark.
- Cook until the cheese is all melted and the crust and cheese are bubbling.
- Remove from the heat and slice your pizza with a pizza wheel or a large sharp knife.
- Enjoy!
