Blackstone Pepperoni Pizza
Description
Crispy Blackstone pepperoni pizza made right on the griddle in under 20 minutes of cook time. A golden, crunchy crust topped with pizza sauce, melty mozzarella, and crisp-edged pepperoni — easy enough for a weeknight and good enough for pizza night with friends.
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch premade pizza crust
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pepperoni, sliced or diced
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil, for the griddle
Instructions
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high (about 350°F) for 8–10 minutes.
- While the griddle heats, spread the pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a ½-inch border. Top with mozzarella, then pepperoni.
- Drizzle a thin layer of oil onto the hot griddle and spread it where the pizza will sit.
- Slide the assembled pizza onto the oiled griddle and cover with a basting dome or lid.
- Cook 6–9 minutes, checking the bottom after 5 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Transfer to a cutting board, rest 2 minutes, slice, and serve.
Equipment
- Blackstone griddle (or flat-top grill)
- Basting dome or lid
- Metal spatula
- Pizza Cutter
Notes
- Don't skip the dome. It melts the cheese without burning the crust.
- Go light on sauce to keep the crust crisp.
- Sear the pepperoni 30 seconds per side on the bare griddle first for extra flavor and crispy edges.
- For raw or refrigerated dough, cook one side 2–3 minutes, flip, then add toppings and dome until melted.
