grilled pizza

i don't know when it was that i first heard these two wonderful words put together: grilled. pizza. all i know is that it's something that i've wanted to try forever, and finally did last night. steve and allison were coming over, and you know how sometimes you have certain friends that you want to impress with the culinary skills you think you have? this is def the way to go.

i've tried so many pizza dough recipes that i should probably look like the pillsbury dough boy by now, except for the most part, they've been inedible. a few weeks ago, the strib had an article about grilling pizza, and wha-bang! it's delicious. i credit them for the dough, but play with your own toppings. i had two parties on mine: half fig, basil, and goat cheese, half fresh mozzarella, basil, cherry tomatoes from the garden, all slathered in garlic & olive oil. i meant to use green onions and top it off with fresh avocado, but i'll just have to save that for next time.

(picture note: this is not my picture. the whole process went so fast that we didn't have time to take a picture. if you have time today, though, go google grilled pizza images and see the crazy combos that come up.)
