We’ve been doing pizza Friday for quite some time now. I’ve tried lots of different types of pizza crusts. Sourdough, yeast dough, cauliflower and even chicken. This quick and easy pizza crust is the one we keep coming back to. Given a choice, my husband picks this every. time.

It mixes together in just a few minutes, has no yeast (which means no rise time) and is relatively low in calories. The addition of Italian seasoning and mozzarella cheese to the dough give an extra boost in flavor.

Our favorite way to cook pizza is on the grill. We are obsessed with it! Grilling pizza crust gives it that rustic, wood fired taste and texture. Of course, this dough can easily be made in the oven, but if you haven’t grilled pizza, give it a try!

You may recognize the main ingredients of this quick and easy pizza crust dough because I’ve also made, Homemade Garlic Knots, Cheddar Jalapeno Bagels, and Air Fryer Breakfast Pockets with it. The dough has endless possibilities and I’m not done creating with it! We enjoy making individual pizzas, but you can certainly make this as one larger sized pizza.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead until a soft dough forms (add more flour if it is sticking to your hands)

Shape dough into circle and then cut into 4 wedges
Roll each one out into approximately a 6-7 inch circle

Preheat your grill on high. The temperature should be about 500°F
Place pizza dough on grill and cook for about 3 minutes

Tips and Substitutions:

To bake pizzas in the oven, preheat to 450°F. Place pizza dough on lightly greased baking sheet (or line with parchment paper). Top pizza with sauce and toppings and then bake for 10-12 minutes.
The dough can be made into one 12 inch pizza (for baking in the oven) – Spray a 12 inch pizza pan lightly with oil. Roll out the dough into a large circle and then spread it on the pan to reach the sides. Top with pizza sauce, topping and cheese. Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.
