Weeknight Grilled Flatbread Pizza
The 15-minute pizza night exists, and it runs on store-bought flatbread and a hot grill. This is not a compromise recipe, flatbread pizza has its own identity and fans, and a grill gives it char that an oven cannot match. Perfect for a weeknight when the kids want pizza and you do not want to wait 45 minutes for dough.
Technique how-to
How the grilled pizza method works
A method demonstration from Meathead's AmazingRibs — watch it for the technique, then follow the ingredients and steps in our recipe above. We do not produce our own videos.
Meathead Goldwyn's technique translates directly to an electric grill with a preheated cast-iron skillet — the method our cast-iron pizza recipe uses.

- 3/4 cup pizza sauce

Instructions
- 01

Pro Tips
Tips for this cook
- ★Naan is genuinely great flatbread-pizza base. The slight sweetness plays off the pizza sauce.
- ★Less is more on toppings. A weeknight personal pizza wants 2-3 toppings max or the base gets soggy.
