Grilled Pizza: The Big Green Egg Makes It a Fun, Family Favorite
Posted by: Patricia Brown
Homemade pizza on the Big Green Egg is always a fun, family favorite in our house. I know “grilled pizza” doesn’t quite connect, but you can follow this recipe and steps to learn how to do it yourself and impress your family and friends.
This homemade pizza was delicious. We got the whole family involved; everyone had a fun time designing their own pizza pie. I enjoyed using the fresh herbs I planted in my container pizza garden. You can use prepared pizza crust instead of the homemade for ease.
