Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • 1 pound prepared pizza dough

  • 8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds; stir in cream. Add 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, and stir until smooth. Let Alfredo sauce cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. 

  2. Meanwhile, preheat a gas grill with all burners on High for 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Divide pizza dough in half. Shape each portion of the pizza dough into an 8 to 10-inch disc. Reduce the flame on half the grill burners to Low, to create areas of direct and indirect heat.

  4. Carefully place discs of dough, one at a time, onto the grill over direct heat. Close the cover. Let dough grill until the bottom is just barely cooked and shows char marks, 1 to 3 minutes.

  5. Turn crust ninety degrees (do not flip dough over). Grill until crust shows light grill marks, 1 to 3 minutes.

  6. Move pizza dough to indirect heat. Spoon Alfredo sauce over dough. Top each crust with four slices mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese evenly over pizzas.

  7. Grill until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Carefully remove pizza from the grill.

  8. Preheat the oven’s broiler. Broil pizza until cheese is golden, about 5 minutes. Allow pizza to rest a few minutes before cutting into wedges.
