Ingredients Needed:
- Pizza dough - When it comes to making homemade pizza on the Blackstone you can make your own pizza dough or use a store bought dough. I really like getting the Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Dough from Aldi to make homemade pizzas with or I have a recipe for 2 Ingredient Pizza that you can use. Using Naan bread is also another great option for pizza dough.
- Pizza sauce or Marinara sauce of choice
- Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- Crumbled turkey sausage - I like the precooked turkey sausage crumbles from Jimmy Dean
- Pepperoni - Turkey or Regular Pepperoni
- olive oil for brushing - Look for olive oils that are labeled as extra virgin, cold-pressed, and unfiltered for the highest quality.

How to Make Pizza on a Blackstone
Step 1: Preheat your griddle over medium heat. Cook the sausage on a skillet until cooked through and set aside.
Step 2: Brush each side of the pizza dough rounds with olive oil. Place one of the rounds onto the preheated griddle and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is lightly browned.
Step 3: Flip the pizza dough round over and spread the pizza sauce over the top. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Then add remaining toppings.
Step 4: Cover the griddle with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the pizza from the griddle and repeat the process with the other pizza dough round and remaining toppings.
Slice and serve hot.
Enjoy your delicious homemade pizza on a griddle!
Storage Tips
- Wrap it up: Wrap the leftover pizza slices tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will help prevent air from getting in and drying out the pizza.
- Use airtight containers: If you have airtight containers, you can store the leftover pizza in those instead of wrapping it up. This is a great option if you have a lot of pizza slices.
