How About Alternatives?

The beauty of making pizza on the Blackstone griddle is the endless variety of ingredients you can use to customize your creation.

The base starts with the dough, and while traditional pizza dough is a classic choice, you can experiment with alternatives like whole wheat, gluten-free, or even cauliflower crusts for a lighter option.

For the sauce, marinara or classic pizza sauce works wonderfully, but don’t shy away from trying something different like barbecue sauce, pesto, or white garlic sauce to switch up the flavor profile.

When it comes to toppings, the possibilities are truly endless. For meat lovers, options like pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, bacon, or grilled chicken are all excellent choices. Vegetarians can load their pizza with colorful options like bell peppers, red onions, mushrooms, olives, spinach, and cherry tomatoes.

Cheeses are another area to explore—mozzarella is the traditional go-to, but adding a sprinkle of Parmesan, ricotta, or even feta can add depth and richness. And if you want to make it extra special, finish your pizza with fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or a drizzle of truffle oil.
