Did you know that approximately three billion pizzas are sold in the US each year? That doesn’t even count the additional one billion frozen pizzas purchased. There’s obviously something about that ooey-gooey, hot-cheesy goodness that’s simply irresistible. A good ol’ slice of pizza gives you that kid-in-the-candy store kind of feeling. It’s like catching a great sale at Kohl’s or winning free house cleaning for a year. Yep, it’s just that good.
But even the most die-hard pizza fans can get a little tired of the same ol’ pepperoni pizza day in and day out. How about spicing things up a bit by taking your pizza to the grill? Never thought of grilling your pizza pie? How about this…grilling your pizza you won’t heat up the kitchen; pizza on the grill = party on the patio; and grilled pizza tastes really, really good.
Grilling a pizza isn’t rocket-science, but there’s a little more to it than pulling a box out of the freezer and popping your pie in the oven.
