Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to 500 degrees. Place a pizza stone in the grill to preheat with the grill. Remove the pizza crust from the freezer, and allow to dethaw for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a large saute pan, add the hot Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking up in 1/2 inch size pieces with a spatula. Saute for 8-10 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the saute pan. Add the sliced onion. Saute for 12-15 minutes until it turns a golden brown and begins to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Spread the marinara evenly across the pizza crust. Place the sliced mozzarella cheese on top, follow by the crumbled goat cheese.
  5. Using a spoon, place small dollops of the basil pesto evenly atop the pizza. Add the sausage and caramelized onion.
  6. Carefully place the pizza on top of the heated pizza stone in the grill. Cook at 500 degrees for 8-9 minutes, until the crust is crunchy and golden brown.
  7. Remove from grill, and sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes

Our wine choice: the 2015 Ken Forrester Petit Pinotage. The full-bodied South African red has distinct spice, juicy plum, and dark berries, it’s a great choice to pair this bold pizza. Cheers!
