Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer pizza featuring grilled peaches caramelized to perfection, salty prosciutto, and fresh mozzarella, all cooked on the grill for a smoky, delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) pizza dough, store-bought or homemade, room temperature
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 4–6 thin slices prosciutto
  • 8 ounces (225g) fresh mozzarella, sliced or torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn
  • Balsamic glaze, optional for drizzling
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). If using charcoal, let the coals burn down to a nice even heat. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. In a lightly floured bowl, stretch or roll out your pizza dough to about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Brush one side of the dough with olive oil.
  3. Place the dough olive oil-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear and the dough firms up but isn’t fully cooked. Brush the top side with olive oil while the bottom cooks.
  4. Using a pizza peel or large spatula, carefully flip the dough over. Immediately start layering your toppings: scatter the mozzarella evenly, arrange peach slices on top, then lay the prosciutto slices over the peaches.
  5. Close the lid and grill for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the dough is cooked through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Once off the grill, sprinkle torn fresh basil leaves over the pizza. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Let the pizza rest for a minute or two, then slice with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Pat peach slices dry if very juicy to avoid soggy crust. Use a light hand with toppings to prevent sogginess and difficulty flipping. Preheat grill well and oil grates to prevent sticking. Variations include vegetarian (skip prosciutto), gluten-free crust, cheese swaps, and seasonal fruit substitutions.
