Admittedly, it sounds like a great idea.
Some consider this weekend to be the last grilling opportunity of the summer. (I do not).
Here’s a suggestion to have guests make and prepare their own
specialized pizzas on the grill.Might be fun.
But my experience says, consider brats instead.
Even though I subscribe to the theory that you can do just about anything on the grill, I would toss out the asterisk on pizza.
If you’re using a charcoal grill, it’s inevitable the ash, a lot of it, is going to end up on top of your pizza. Your pizza is going to get smoky…..very, very, very smoky.
I love good charcoal taste on beef, pork, and poultry. However, when I bite into a pizza and the sauce and mozzarella taste like I’ve just chomped on a Kingsford briquette, that’s not my idea of good eatin’.
Your experience might be different on a gas grill.
My experience says this is one food episode you should avoid.
