grill pizza like a Pro!

Friends, neighbors, countrymen, lend me your grills. My name is Bob Blumer, and I am known professionally as the Surreal Gourmet - mostly because I cook and present food in unconventional ways.

To most of you, cooking pizza on your grill might seem unconventional, and even a bit surreal. But trust me, it’s very real. And the best part is that you don’t even need to leave your own backyard to try it.

As a professional culinary adventurer, my quest for the ultimate food experience has led me to nearly every state in the U.S. and many countries abroad. I go out of my way to find flavors and foods that make me weak at the knees, and I am always on the lookout for new tricks to add to my repertoire. In fact, I learned how to make grilled pizza several years ago from my friends at Weber. One bite of the crispy, slightly charred crust and I was hooked. And I’ve made it my personal mission since then to perfect the art and expand the horizons of grilled pizza.

Let’s admit it, everyone gets tired of the same old burgers, steaks and chicken. It’s time you introduce grilled pizza into your repertoire. It’s easy to make a perfect grilled pizza, and best of all, the only equipment you need is a grill.

Since the dough is cooked directly on the grate (don’t worry, the pizza will not fall through,) there’s no need for a pizza stone, or any other fancy-schmancy gadgets. With its crisp, chewy crust, covered with boldly flavored toppings and cheese, chances are it will change the way you think of pizza forever.

This book gives you everything you need to know to grill perfect pizza, including the basics for setting up the grill, making (or buying) the dough and choosing tasty toppings. The simple short cuts and easy-to-follow recipes will give you the confidence to create your own favorite combinations. Before you know it, you’ll become a culinary hero in your own backyard and the envy of all your friends.

A toast to grilled pizza!
