Grilled Zucchini PizzaRomulo Yanes

We tested this recipe using a charcoal grill and a gas grill and found that grilling the dough over charcoal required both direct and indirect heat, a process too involved for Quick Kitchen. We prefer supermarket mozzarella rather than fresh for this pizza because fresh mozzarella exudes too much liquid when cooked. If your pizza dough is frozen, allow 2 to 3 hours to let it thaw.

Cooks' note:

If you aren't able to grill outdoors, pizza can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, loosely covered with foil after sprinkling with cheese.
