15-Minute Smoked Pizza
Easy individual-sized smoked pizzas in right around 15 minutes!
Servings: 1 mini-pizza
Calories: 354kcal
Equipment
- 1 pellet grill smoker (I used my Z Grill)
Ingredients
- 4 mini naan bread (or other flatbread)
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce (or other sauce)
- 2 ounces goat cheese (or other soft cheese)
- ⅓ cup sliced mushrooms
- ⅓ cup sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoon sliced black olives
- 4 ounces cubed smoked tri-tip (or other cooked meat)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or more)
- 1 teaspoon pizza seasoning
- 16 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your pellet smoker to 375°F using your favorite flavor of wood pellets.
- Brush pizza sauce, barbecue sauce, or sauce of choice on your pizza crust then add one or more soft cheeses (goat cheese, feta cheese, blue cheese, or cream cheese).
- Next, top with your favorite vegetable toppings.
- Mix mozzarella (or other shredded cheese) with the pizza seasonings/dried herbs. Add ¼ cup of cheese to each pizza. If adding sausage or pepperoni add them now. Carefully transfer the mini pizzas directly onto the grill grates using a large spatula or a pizza peel.
- Smoke the pizzas for 7 minutes then briefly lift the lid to add the cooked meat. I added smoked tri-tip. Smoke the pizza for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until the crust is crispy and the cheese has completely melted. Top with fresh basil and serve.
Notes
- Some mushrooms release a lot of liquid as they cook. For this reason, I like to saute them in a pan first to release their moisture first.
- When smoking pizza, be sure to check them at the 12-minute mark, then adjust the time from there.
- Make sure everyone makes a mental note of where on the grill their pizza was placed so there's no confusion once the pizza is ready.
- You can also offer various sauces on your pizza bar that can be drizzled on the finished pizzas. This could be as simple as offering a few different hot sauces or a balsamic vinegar glaze.
- You can really get creative with the meat options. Think pulled pork, diced Carne Asada, and even chicken or beef shawarma!
- Another fun idea is to make pizzas featuring different countries. My Food Combinations PDF can be used for ideas of what ingredients to include for various regions.
