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
-
Make the Zesty Old School Pizza Sauce. Set aside. (Extra sauce freezes well, or will cover another medium pizza.)
-
Heat up the grill to hot and close the lid.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
