Ingredients You’ll Need

1 pizza dough (about 250 g), homemade or store-bought
45–60 ml extra virgin olive oil
400 g pizza sauce, warmed
225 g shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
Sliced red bell peppers
Sliced onions
Sliced mushrooms
Cooked sausage
Sliced pepperoni
Black olives
Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder
Fresh basil

How to Make Blackstone Pizza

Preheat the Griddle
Set your Blackstone griddle to low heat (about 450–500°F). An infrared thermometer helps get it just right.
Prep the Dough
Shape your dough into a 12-inch circle. Drizzle 15 ml olive oil on each side. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top if you like. For raw dough, poke a few holes to keep it from puffing up.
Sauté the Veggies
Cook your veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms) in the rest of the olive oil for 3–5 minutes. Soft but still with a bit of bite is what you’re going for. Set them aside.
Cook the Dough
Place the dough seasoned side down on the griddle. If using pre-cooked dough, heat each side for 1–2 minutes. Raw dough? Go for 2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Add Sauce and Cheese
Flip the crust. Spread a layer of warmed sauce, sprinkle mozzarella, and add toppings. Keep the cheese and pepperoni light to avoid extra grease.
Melt and Finish
Cover with a melting dome. If the crust’s done but the cheese isn’t melty, move it off the heat but keep it under the dome.
Serve
Slice it up, sprinkle fresh basil, and serve hot!

Tips for Perfect Griddle Pizza

Less is more. Overloading can lead to soggy crusts. Spread your toppings in a single, even layer.
Keep it crispy. If it looks like it’s getting too greasy, use a paper towel to gently blot.
Dome it! A melting dome is your best friend here—it helps lock in heat for perfectly melted cheese.
No dome? An upside-down metal bowl works just fine in a pinch.

A Slice of My Story

Blackstone pizza became my secret weapon during backyard movie nights. I still remember the first time I made it—kids running around, friends chatting over drinks, and me nervously flipping dough like it was my Food Network debut. But that first bite? Instant magic. It tasted like a memory in the making.

Now, it’s our family tradition. Friday nights on the patio, laughter in the air, and that unmistakable aroma wafting from the griddle. It’s not just pizza—it’s a little piece of joy we share, one slice at a time.

What to Serve with Blackstone Pizza

Simple green salad: A fresh salad with vinaigrette balances the richness of the pizza.
Grilled veggies: Use the same griddle to char up some zucchini or asparagus.
Cold drinks: Think iced tea, sparkling water, or a crisp white wine.
Dips: Marinara, garlic butter, or ranch dressing can elevate your slices to dipping heaven.

How to Store Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers:

Fridge: Store slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Pop it back on the griddle or a skillet for a few minutes. It crisps up better than the microwave.
Freeze: Wrap individual slices in foil and freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 10–12 minutes.
