Tips

For the best grilled pizzettes, keep your dough at room temperature so it stretches easily. A light coating of oil on both the dough and grill helps create a crisp crust without sticking. Don’t overload the toppings—letting the heat work directly on simple, fresh ingredients creates better texture and flavor. Rotate the pizzettes as needed to cook them evenly, and remove them from high heat before the cheese overcooks.

Variations

Customize these pizzettes to match your taste or seasonal ingredients. Simple swaps can transform the dish into something entirely new while keeping the same easy grilling method. Try experimenting with different cheeses, sauces, or toppings to make each batch unique.

• Prosciutto and arugula
• Pesto with cherry tomatoes
• Mushroom and caramelized onion

Best pairings

These grilled pizzettes pair beautifully with bright, refreshing sides and beverages. Lighter dishes help balance the richness of the melted cheese and crisped dough, creating a satisfying outdoor meal. Drinks with acidity or herbal notes work especially well alongside the grill-kissed flavors.
