Charcoal Grilled Margherita Pizza

Charcoal Grilled Margherita Pizza

My spin on the classic Margherita pizza cooked on a charcoal grill. This pizza features a thin, crispy crust topped with fresh ingredients including ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, and creamy mozzarella cheese. The smoky flavor from the charcoal grill adds a unique twist to this traditional Italian dish. Each bite offers a perfect balance of tangy tomatoes, earthy basil, and gooey cheese, all melded together by the charred crust. This charcoal grilled Margherita pizza is a delightful culinary experience for those who appreciate simplicity and bold flavors.
