Join the #SundaySupper tastemakers and “throw something on the barbie.” Why grill the entire meal outdoors then go back into the hot kitchen to make dessert? Grilled Dessert Pizza is a light and tasty ending to a fabulous dinner made “on the barbie”.
If you’ve never grilled pizza it will be a revelation of flavor. The smoky, lightly charred crust is completely addictive. I’ve been grilling pizza over charcoal for about 20 years now. I love the flavor and crispy crust that I get from the charcoal, but you could make the same recipe in the oven or on the gas grill if you don’t have a charcoal grill.
I usually make savory pizza, but for today’s #Sundaysupper event I decided to do a Grilled Dessert Pizza for a change. I didn’t want something overly rich or sweet so rather than going with toppings like chocolate or marshmallows (which would be delicious, by the way-something to think about for a future post) I opted for fresh fruit and a light Greek yogurt drizzle.
Check out this previous post for a really good pizza dough recipe. You’ll also find detailed instructions and photos explaining how to set up the grill and how to work with the dough. As I mention in that post, it took many years and many burnt fingers to work out this system. I’ve got it down pat by now and am happy to pass on my hard-earned knowledge to you.
I’m really happy with the results of this recipe. The crust is crisp and smoky, the fruit is lightly sweet and juicy and the Greek yogurt drizzle adds a creamy finish. It’s the prefect light ending to your meal “from the barbie”.

- Close the grill and allow the bottom of the crust to bake and the toppings to warm
- Check the bottom of the crust to see if you need to move the crust around to avoid burnt spots
