Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- olive oil for brushing crust
- 2 cloves garlic sliced
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese plus small chunk for shaving, grated
- 1 chicken breast grilled and sliced thinly
- 2 romaine lettuce washed and dried, cut into ½-inch pieces, hearts
- ½ cup caesar salad dressing recipe follows
- salt kosher salt and freshly cracked

Caesar Salad Dressing:
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
Instructions
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Brush the grill with a bit of oil. While the grill is getting warm, make the Caesar Dressing. In a blender or food processor, process the Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and garlic until emulsified and smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Shape the dough into 2 medium-ish pizzas while on a clean floured surface. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes and then re-form to make sure it's as big as you'd like. Place the pizza dough on a lightly floured rimless baking sheet, or pizza peel. Transfer the dough over to the grill, and slide the pizza dough directly onto the grill. Grill the dough for about 2 minutes with the lid closed. Using a pair of tongs, lift the lid, and flip the dough over onto the other side and cook for about 2 minutes more. The dough should be golden brown with grill marks on both sides.
- Once the dough is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it back onto the baking sheet.
- Brush the olive oil over the pizza and sprinkle with garlic. Arrange the mozzarella, parmesan and chicken breast slices on top. and place back onto the grill until the cheese has melted. Using tongs, remove the pizza from the grill and top with the dressed romaine leaves and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with long strips of parmesan cheese. Slice and serve immediately.
