Grilled pizza can feel like a magic trick performed in broad summer daylight. The moment dough hits the grates, people start paying attention. By the time the finished pizza makes it to the table, it disappears before your eyes. The best part? Once you know the technique, grilled pizza is surprisingly easy to pull off.

This grilled flatbread pizza delivers a perfect balance of sweet, savory, spicy, and fresh. Juicy peaches take center stage, picking up smoky grill marks that bring out their natural sweetness, while Italian Herb Chicken Sausage adds savory flavor along with notes of fennel, basil, and Calabrian chili. Fresh mozzarella melts into the crust, peppery arugula adds brightness, and a drizzle of hot honey ties everything together. The result is an easy grilled pizza recipe that feels impressive enough for entertaining but simple enough for a weeknight dinner on the patio. In short: magic.

SERVING MULTIPLIER:

Ingredients

1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

1 package The Sausage Project Italian Herb Chicken Sausage, casings removed and hand-crumbled

2 ripe peaches, cut into wedges

8 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn

1 cup baby arugula

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Flaky salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Hot honey

Instructions

Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 20 min | Servings: 1

Prep the grill: Heat a gas grill to medium-high heat. (If using a charcoal grill, make sure there is a hot side and a cooler side.)

Cook the sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet on the grill, or a pan on the stovetop. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes.

Grill the peaches: Brush the peaches with 1 tablespoon olive oil and grill for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly charred.

Grill the flatbread: Stretch the pizza dough into a rustic oval about ½-inch thick. Brush each side with about 1 tablespoon olive oil so that it’s well coated.

Place the dough directly on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes until grill marks form on the underside. Use a large grill spatula to flip the dough, then turn the grill to the lowest heat setting.

Build the pizza: Top the flatbread with mozzarella, sausage, and peaches. Close the grill lid for 4–6 minutes until the crust is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Finish: Transfer the pizza to a cutting board. Top with arugula, flaky salt, black pepper, and a generous drizzle of hot honey, then slice and serve.
