This is the Sobeys take on the classic pizza - but cooked on your BBQ grill! Fantastic flavour and presentation! Do something a little different on your grill this summer.

Prep time: 5 min. (not including crust) Total time: 20 min. Makes: two 12-in. (30-cm) pizzas

1 recipe Perfect Pizza Dough, crusts rolled out to 12-in. (30-cm) circles
2/3 cup (150 mL) tomato sauce
1/2 pkg (100g) Compliments Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 large buffalo mozzarella ball or 6 to 8 bocconcini balls, torn or cut into pieces
1 pkg (340 g) Compliments SantalinaTM Tomatoes, cut in half

1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh Compliments Basil, torn into pieces

1. Preheat a lightly oiled grill to medium. Place crusts on a lightly oiled grill. Cook for 2 min. or until bubbly and rigid. Using tongs, turn crusts over. Divide tomato sauce, cheese and tomato halves between both crusts. Close lid and cook until cheese is bubbling and crusts are golden brown, 2 to 3 min. Before serving, top each pizza with basil. Cut each pizza into six slices and serve.

Tip: We grilled this pizza to mimic the effect of a wood burning oven. To make this recipe indoors, heat a pizza stone in the oven at the hottest setting. Cook pizzas for 5 min., or until cheese is bubbling and crust is lightly browned.
