I am wanting to try my first pizza on the grill, but I want to do it right. I am looking to do a slow cook pizza sauce to really get the flavors going. Anyone have a fantastic recipe to try out? I want to top with fresh buffalo milk mozzarella and fresh basil. Here's a recipe I have used in the past with success but I always love suggestions!


  • 3 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced or pressed
  • 2 lbs fresh crushed tomatoes (skin removed)
  • 1 8oz can tomato paste
  • 1 1/2TBSP honey
  • 1 – 1 1/2 tsp each of dried oregano and basil
  • salt and pepper to taste

​
Also, if anyone has a great pizza dough recipe they wouldn't mind sharing, I would really appreciate it! Thin crust and flaky is what I am after.
 
I stick with crushed tomatoes that I hit with a stick blender, clean and simple.

Above are some dough links, I particularly recommend the third one.

As for sauce, what I do is not a long cooked sauce, I really prefer the flavor and acidity of uncooked sauces. I would saute those aromatics, let them cool then add them to pureed vine ripe tomatoes, no cooking until it hits the heat.
 
I would also make the sauce a day ahead. That will give it time to blend together.

Thanks!!
 
For my pizza sauce, I cut a bunch of tomatoes in half, drizzle EVO on them, salt and pepper, dried oregano and basil and then bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes at about 350. Throw into a blender and boom baby, sauce.

I've also grilled them to add a bit of a smokiness to the sauce.

I think I'm going to give that a shot - sounds really good!
 
Not meaning to hijack this thread, but if I wanted to cook a pizza on my uds, then what temp should I cook at and for how long?
 
as hot as you can get it. how long depends on how hot you can get it. 900 degrees would be the target. 60-90 seconds cook time.
