Expert Grilling Tips from Weber - How to Grill a Pizza

Summer in Chicago is magical and I'm so excited that it's just around the corner. The beaches reopen, sailboats dot the lake, convertibles cruise Rush Street and of course, grills fire up on balconies and rooftops! To mark this wonderful season, I've teamed up with six other top entertaining experts to share tips on menu planning, cocktails, party decor and more for a magical summer of your own...it's a BBQ Blog Hop!

This weekend was the "Chill and Grill" Festival in Lincoln Park, hosted by Better Homes and Gardens magazine and Weber. What a great time! Despite the indecisive weather (sunny, cloudy, hot, cold, humid, pleasant) the crowd enjoyed grilled food by local restaurants, plus informative demos and hands-on sessions.

I was on the scene bending the ear of a few grillmasters. Let's start with Kevin Kolman, the Training Manager for Weber who shares how to grill a pizza in this short clip:

Quick tips:

1) Preheat the grill for 15 minutes. While it's heating up, stretch out the dough, then put it right on the grill.
2) You don't have to use a pizza stone, but if you do, put the stone on the grill as soon as you light it.
3) Experiment with toppings! One of Kevin's favorites is BBQ sauce, pulled pork, cheddar, and mozzarella.
4) Get more pizza grilling topping ideas in this post, and for dessert, learn how to grill a pie!

I also chatted with Weber expert and author of Time to Grill Jamie Purviance, who shared some great tips on how to grill fish. That's coming at a later date, and there might be a giveaway... :)

This was a fantastic event. Demos, food, and of course grilling. While the pizza looked awesome, I am now more motivated then ever to get some good lobster onto the grill.
