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.

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.
