How many times a month do you order takeout pizza? It happens to be one of my favorite foods, so we eat it at least twice a month. Although takeout is super convenient, saving me from cooking AND cleaning up, I’m usually left feeling rather guilty after eating it. So I wanted to share an awesome alternative that I made frequently over the summer- homemade grilled pizza!
Okay, so truth be told…most of the time I bought pre-made dough at my favorite local market (shout out to @HeislersMarket)…but I always make my own marinara sauce. And once it got too cold to grill outside, I just used the oven.

Making your own pizza helps you control the salt and fat content…so you can feel less guilty about eating it! After a few flops, I highly recommend getting a pizza peel and some cornmeal to help the crust slide off easily. This pizza is so yummy that you won’t want to go back to takeout 😉
