Ingredients

  • 1 (16 inch) stretched pizza dough on a pan (See notes below)
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup zesty old school style pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • Couple handfuls fresh spinach
  • 1 to 2 cloves minced garlic to taste
  • Ricotta, about 1/2 of a small tub
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • Salt and fresh cracked pepper
  • Sprinkle of garlic powder
  • Sprinkle of onion powder
  • Sprinkle of red pepper flakes, optional

Directions

  1. Make the Zesty Old School Pizza Sauce. Set aside. (Extra sauce freezes well, or will cover another medium pizza.)

  2. Heat up the grill to hot and close the lid.

  3. Brush the pizza pan lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Stretch and roll the dough and place on the pan. Brush with 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Spoon the pizza sauce around the dough.

  4. Top pizza with the mozzarella, spinach, minced garlic, ricotta blobs (I did mine with a mini cookie scoop, but teaspoons work fine), parmesan, and a sprinkle of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes.

  5. Set the pizza on the grill and close the lid. Turn grill to medium high and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until cooked through. Turn to medium for a thicker crust pizza and cook longer. Remove onto a cookie sheet with tongs.
