A playful mash-up of two icons — smoky pepperoni pizza meets crisp Caesar salad. The pizza is grilled first until bubbling and golden, then folded around a fresh Caesar salad to create a warm, cheesy, crunchy sandwich
IN THE KITCHEN:
Prepare the Caesar dressing by mixing mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, anchovy, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Chill until needed.
Toss the shredded lettuce with the dressing and Parmesan shavings. Add croutons for crunch if desired. Set aside in the fridge while you cook the pizza.
Roll out the pizza dough into 4 medium rounds (about 20 cm each) and brush lightly with olive oil.
AT THE GRILL:
Preheat the Weber barbecue for direct cooking at around 250–280 °C.
If using a pizza stone, place it on the grill and allow it to preheat for 10–15 minutes.
If using a Weber griddle, preheat to high heat and brush with olive oil.
Lay the pizza bases onto the hot surface and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until lightly charred and puffed.
Add mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and oregano to each base. Close the lid and continue cooking for 3–4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden.
Remove the pizzas from the grill and rest for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly.
Add a generous handful of the chilled Caesar salad to one half of each pizza.
Fold the pizza in half like a sandwich and press gently. Slice and serve warm — smoky pizza on the outside, cool, crunchy Caesar on the inside.
