Ingredients

  • 1 pound prepared pizza dough

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning

  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce

  • 8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, or more to taste

  • 1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • 10 sardines

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 1 large egg (optional)

  • 3 leaves fresh basil, torn

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat a gas grill with all burners on High for 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. Shape pizza dough into a disc. Reduce the flame on half the grill burners to Low, to create areas of direct and indirect heat.

  3. Carefully place dough onto the grill over direct heat. Close the cover. Let dough grill until the bottom is just barely cooked and shows char marks, 1 to 3 minutes.

  4. Use tongs to flip pizza dough over; move to the indirect heat. Brush dough with olive oil, and sprinkle with Greek seasoning. Place mozzarella slices, tomatoes, and sardines on pizza.

  5. Sprinkle oregano evenly over the pizza. Crack open egg and place in center of the pizza.

  6. Grill until cheese is melted, and egg white is no longer clear, about 3 minutes. Carefully remove pizza from the grill.

  7. Sprinkle with torn basil; squeeze lemon juice over the pizza.

    Cook’s Note

    I buy my dough from the freezer section at Aldi. You can also portion it in half to create 2 dough discs.

    The egg is optional. If you prefer, place the pizza under a broiler to set the egg.

    You can add very thin slices of lemon to the pizza for additional zesty flavor, and yes, they are edible, including the lemon peel.
