This grilled vegetable pizza with Asiago cheese is a summery delight. I came up with this recipe after a particularly fun barbecue with friends – we were trying to make the most of the gorgeous weather and fresh produce. It's the perfect blend of smoky char from the grill and the creamy, nutty flavor of Asiago. It's honestly incredibly easy to make and very tasty!
I love this recipe because it's incredibly versatile. Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what's in season or what you have on hand. My friend Mike loves adding roasted eggplant, and I've even thrown in some sauteed mushrooms on a few occasions. The beauty of home cooking is the freedom to experiment and create!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prepare your vegetables! Wash and chop 1 medium zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices, 1 red bell pepper into strips, and 1 yellow bell pepper into strips. Toss them all with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the veggies for 3-4 minutes per side, until they're tender-crisp and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn; we're aiming for yummy, not ash!
- While the veggies are grilling, prepare your pizza dough. Either use your favorite homemade recipe or grab a store-bought one—no judgments here! Roll it out to your desired thickness and shape. Lightly oil your pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of your favorite pizza sauce (or pesto!) over the dough. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese over the sauce. Then, arrange your grilled veggies beautifully across the pizza.
- Gently place the pizza onto the preheated grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. You may need to rotate the pizza halfway through to ensure even cooking. Don't forget to rotate it!!
- Once cooked, carefully remove the pizza from the grill using a wide spatula. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious creation!
📝 Notes
- For a smokier flavor, use a charcoal grill.

- If you don't have a pizza stone or baking sheet, you can use a grill-safe pan.
- This recipe is easily adaptable to different dietary needs. Use gluten-free pizza dough for a gluten-free option.
