Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups of biscuit mix and water, stirring to make a soft dough.
- Turn out onto a surface dusted with remaining biscuit mix; roll dough to coat and shape into a ball, kneading gently five times.
- Divide into 4 equal portions; pat each portion into a 5-inch circle.
- Cover grill rack with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place circles on foil; cook over medium-hot (350° to 400°) for 8 minutes.
- Turn over; top with pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese.
- Cover with foil coated with cooking spray.
- Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are brown and cheese melts.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even crispier crust, preheat the grill with the foil on for a few minutes before adding the dough. You can substitute the pizza sauce with homemade tomato sauce or even pesto for a different flavor. Experiment with toppings like bell peppers or mushrooms for variety, similar to what's used in Italian recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these grilled pizzas with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with a refreshing beverage like iced tea or lemonade. For a heartier option, consider serving alongside the Sausage And Pepperoni Pizza Casserole for a fun pizza night.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover grilled pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is crispy again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use store-bought dough instead of biscuit mix?
Absolutely! You can use store-bought pizza dough for a quicker option. Just roll it out to the desired thickness, and follow the cooking instructions as usual. This can save time and give you a more traditional pizza base.
What other toppings can I use for grilled pizzas?
Feel free to get creative with toppings! Grilled vegetables, different cheeses, or cooked meats like chicken or sausage work well. You can even make a dessert pizza with Nutella and fruit for a sweet treat after your meal.
How do I know when the pizzas are done cooking?
The pizzas are done when the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can also check the bottom of the crust by gently lifting it with a spatula; it should be firm and slightly crispy.
