Variations Ideas

• Peanut Butter: Swap Nutella for creamy peanut butter for a nutty twist.
• Homemade Dough: Use homemade pizza dough if you prefer; it grills beautifully.
• Chocolate Bars: Replace chips with chopped chocolate bars (Hershey’s works great).
• Tortilla Base: For a smaller portion or to fit a compact grill, use a flour tortilla as the crust.
• Sauce Alternatives: Drizzle caramel or honey instead of chocolate for a different flavor profile.
• Cookie Crust: Swap graham crackers for another cookie for added texture and flavor.

How to Make S’mores on the Grill

• Step 1 – Heat grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high, about 450°F (230°C).
• Step 2 – Roll dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick.

• Step 3 – Poke holes: Use a fork to dock the dough so it won’t bubble while cooking.

• Step 4 – Prepare the grill: Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
• Step 5 – Grill the crust: Place the dough (on a floured baking sheet or peel) directly on the hot grill. Close the lid and cook 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden.

• Step 6 – Flip dough: Turn the crust so the grilled side faces up.
• Step 7 – Add spread: Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the crust, leaving a border for the crust.

• Step 8 – Add toppings: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers, then top with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.

• Step 9 – Finish on the grill: Close the lid and grill 1–2 minutes until the crust is golden and the marshmallows puff slightly.
• Step 10 – Remove and rest: Carefully remove the pizza, let it rest a few minutes, then drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.
• Step 11 – Serve: Slice and enjoy while warm and gooey.

Tips for Smores Dessert Pizza on the Grill

• Dock the dough: Poking holes prevents large bubbles and keeps the crust even.
• Oil the grates: A light brushing of olive oil prevents sticking and helps get a golden crust.
• Watch the heat: Grill hot enough to brown the crust quickly but monitor closely so marshmallows don’t burn.
• Serve immediately: This pizza is best enjoyed right after grilling for melty chocolate and soft marshmallows.

Preheat the grill to medium-high, about 450°F (230°C). That heat level crisps the crust while melting the toppings quickly.

Yes. Bake the crust on a pizza pan until cooked, add the toppings, then return to the oven at 350°F until the marshmallows soften and the chocolate melts. A stovetop grill pan also works for smaller batches.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Reheat briefly in the microwave if you prefer it warm.
