Roll out the dough into a thin circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and add your desired toppings.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a smoker box, prepare it with wood chips for added flavor.

How do I prevent the dough from sticking to the grill?
Brush the grill grates with oil before placing the pizza on them to prevent sticking.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
