A quick and easy grilled flatbread pizza featuring a crispy crust and melty fresh mozzarella, perfect for casual gatherings and weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • Flatbread (such as naan or pita)
  • Fresh whole milk mozzarella
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Tomato sauce (marinara or pizza sauce)
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Garlic (minced or thinly sliced, optional)
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • Optional toppings: cherry tomatoes (halved), sliced olives, thinly sliced red onion, cooked Italian sausage

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). If using charcoal, let coals burn down to steady heat with light ash coating.
  2. Brush both sides of the flatbread lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and help crisp the crust.
  3. Place the flatbread directly on the grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the bread crisps without burning.
  4. Flip the flatbread so the cooked side is up. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Tear fresh mozzarella into small pieces and scatter evenly over the sauce.
  6. Close the grill lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mozzarella melts and bubbles, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Remove the pizza from the grill. Scatter torn fresh basil leaves on top and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  8. Slice the flatbread pizza into wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat fresh mozzarella dry with a paper towel before adding to avoid soggy spots. Pre-grill flatbread first to ensure a crispy crust before adding wet toppings. Keep fresh basil off the grill and add just before serving for best flavor. Reheat leftovers in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
