Easy Griddle Pizza (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Pizza Base
01 -
2 store-bought 12-inch pizza crusts
02 -
2/3 cup pizza sauce
03 -
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
→ Toppings
04 -
20 pepperoni slices
05 -
1/2 pound Italian sausage
06 -
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
07 -
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
08 -
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Fire up your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, aiming for around 350°F. You want it nice and hot for that crispy crust.
02 -
Toss the sausage on the griddle and cook until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. At the same time, cook your peppers and onions until they're softened and slightly caramelized, roughly 5 to 6 minutes. Give the pepperoni slices a quick sear—about 30 seconds per side to crisp them up a bit.
03 -
Grab your pizza crusts and spread about 1/3 cup of sauce on each one. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then pile on your cooked sausage, peppers, onions, and pepperoni. Pro tip: assemble everything on a large cutting board or pizza peel so you can easily transfer them to the griddle.
04 -
Carefully slide your topped pizzas onto the preheated griddle. Cover with a dome or lid and let them cook for 6 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them—you're looking for a golden-brown crust underneath and beautifully melted cheese on top.
05 -
Using a large spatula, gently lift the pizzas off the griddle. Let them cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges. Then dig in and enjoy your griddle-cooked masterpiece!
# Notes:
01 -
For easier assembly, set up all your toppings in small bowls beforehand so everyone can customize their own pizza slices.
02 -
Using a pizza peel or large cutting board makes transferring the pizzas to the hot griddle much simpler and safer.
03 -
You can also cook frozen pizzas on your Blackstone—just place them on a pizza stone on the griddle and cover to heat through.

Feel free to swap in your favorite toppings like mushrooms, spinach, black olives, banana peppers, or different cheese varieties.
