Ingredients
- Pizza dough (homemade or purchased from a local restaurant)
- Alabama White Barbecue Sauce (as the pizza base)
- Mozzarella cheese
- Leftover pulled pork
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Parmesan cheese
- Melted butter (for brushing the crust)
- Mississippi Grind seasoning (or similar BBQ seasoning)
- Parsley, for garnish
- Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce (for drizzling)
- Flour (for working the dough)
- Bear Mountain pellets (for the grill)
Preparation Steps
-
Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, spread out the pizza dough into approximately 10-inch circles. If using dough from a local pizzeria, follow any specific instructions they might provide.
-
Assemble the Pizza: Start by spreading a generous amount of Alabama White Barbecue Sauce over the dough as the base. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by evenly distributed pulled pork and thinly sliced red onions. Add another layer of mozzarella, some Parmesan cheese, and then brush the crust edges with melted butter. Season the entire pizza with Mississippi Grind seasoning and garnish with parsley.
-
Cook the Pizza: Preheat your grill to 500°F, ideally using Bear Mountain pellets for a smoky flavor. Use butcher paper under the pizza for easy handling. Place the pizza in the grill and cook for about 5 minutes. Then, remove the butcher paper and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Final Touches: Once the pizza is cooked, drizzle it with Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce for a tangy finish.
-
Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve hot, allowing the blend of flavors from the barbecue sauce, tender pulled pork, and crispy crust to shine through.
