Yield:
6 9-inch pizzas

Mint adds a nice bright flavor to our take on Hawaiian pizza.

Ingredients

  • 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut lengthwise into 1-inch-thick spears

  • 8 ounces Canadian bacon, thickly sliced

  • Pizza Dough for Grilled Pizzas

  • Extra-virgin olive oil

  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

  • Mint leaves, for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat a grill until medium-hot. Grill pineapple and bacon, turning once, until browned, about 2 minutes. Cut into 1-inch pieces; set aside.

  2. Generously brush one side of pizza dough with oil; grill, oiled side down, until underside is golden brown and top begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Quickly brush top with oil; flip crust. Top with a thin layer of cheese and some of the pineapple and bacon. Grill until cheese is just melted, toppings are hot, and crust is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.

  3. Slide pizza with a large spatula onto a cutting board. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange mint on top. Drizzle with oil. Repeat to make more pizzas.
