Grilled pizza! The only way to eat pizza in the summer!

Grilled pizza topped with a bed of baby arugula greens lightly tossed in a white balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Now that’s what I call delicious pizza perfection!
The warmth of the grilled pizza crust wilts the baby arugula, tomatoes and prosciutto ever so slightly making each bite the perfect combination of summer flavors and textures.

How to make homemade pizza in the oven
Prefer to bake your pizza in the oven? Just preheat oven to 425F.
No need to brush the crust with olive oil. Just top with the pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and the pizza is heated through, about 8 minutes.
Then top pizza with salad mixture and your pizza will be just as delicious as if you grilled it!
