Ingredients
– 1 pound pizza dough, divided
– 1 jar (12 oz / 340 g) quartered marinated artichoke hearts, drained

– 8 oz (225 g) low-moisture mozzarella cheese, grated
– 1 jar (8 oz / 226 g) roasted bell pepper strips
– 1/4 cup grated refrigerated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1-Ready to fire up the grill for this Grilled Artichoke Pizza? Follow these straightforward steps, and you’ll have a crispy, delicious pizza in no time! Start by getting your ingredients prepped it’s all about that fresh, smoky flavor from the grill.
2-First, bring the pizza dough to room temperature for about 2 hours so it stretches easily. Then, stretch the dough into two 10-inch circles on a lightly floured surface. Preheat your grill to high heat for at least 10 minutes, and don’t forget to clean and oil the grates thoroughly using vegetable oil on a paper towel held with tongs.
3-Reduce the heat to medium-high, place the dough directly on the grill grates, cover, and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip it and cook another 2 minutes until you see those perfect grill marks keep an eye on it to avoid any mishaps! Transfer the grilled crusts to a baking sheet, spread 1/4 cup pesto evenly on each, sprinkle 8 oz (225 g) grated mozzarella generously, arrange the drained artichoke pieces and roasted bell pepper strips, then top with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
4-Put the pizzas back on the grill until the cheese melts, about 1-2 minutes, and serve immediately for the best taste. If you’re adapting for dietary needs, swap in gluten-free dough or vegan cheese right at the start. The total time is around 2 hours and 25 minutes, including prep and resting, so plan ahead for a stress-free meal!
