This pizza is great as a light summer meal, or as a fun and unexpected appetizer at your next party.

Pizza topped with grilled peaches, arugula leaves, crumbled goat cheese and balsamic drizzle.

I decided to think totally outside the box for this month’s Feast and Devour Cooking Club selection, which is “Grilling”. No steak, or barbecue ribs…I have done those already. No this time I decided to make Grilled Peach and Arugula Pizza.

Trust me, it tastes just as amazing as it looks! Fresh peaches are grilled, which gives them a great smokiness and brings out their sweetness, then placed on top of a grilled pizza base and topped with arugula, goat cheese, and drizzled with Balsamic Glaze for the most amazing flavor combination!!

Pizza topped with grilled peaches, arugula leaves, crumbled goat cheese and balsamic drizzle and cut into 4 slices.

How to make Grilled Peach and Arugula Pizza:

First step, is to preheat gas {or charcoal} grill to HIGH on one side only. We are grilling our pizzas with indirect heat…and the peaches go on the hot side. 😉

I used my favorite Homemade Pizza Dough recipe, and divided it into four equal portions.

Four balls of pizza dough on a sheet of foil.

Roll out dough, brush with olive oil, and place on a sheet of aluminum foil. Brush the other side with oil.

A circle of rolled out pizza dough brushed with oil on a piece of foil.

Stack oiled pizza circles until ready to grill.

Circles of oil brushed pizza dough layered between sheets of foil and stacked.

Slice peaches into similar sized sections and remove pit, but do not peel.

Sliced peaches on a wooden cutting board.

Lightly brush with olive oil and set aside.

Place pizza dough on the unheated side of the grill. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip and repeat with second side until golden brown with char marks. Remove from grill and keep warm while cooking the remaining pizzas.

Place peach slices on the hot side of the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until thoroughly heated and grill marks are present.

Place each pizza on a plate {or work surface}. Top with a handful of arugula, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You could also toss the arugula with the oil in a bowl like a salad and top the pizza, your choice. 😉

Sprinkle with goat cheese. Arrange 4 to 5 peach slices over each pizza and drizzle with Balsamic Glaze.

Recipe Notes:

This recipe makes 4 good sized individual pizzas, or 4 servings. Depending on what you are serving along side this pizza, you can easily feed 6 people.
Substitute four 6 to 8 ounce premade pizza shells or flatbreads if desired.
These pizzas would also make an excellent appetizer, just cut into more pieces.
If you do not want to eat the peach peel, it is very easy to remove after they are grilled and before you place them on top of your pizza.
I was going for a light and simple summer meal, so there is no “sauce” on this pizza.
If you do not like goat cheese, Gorgonzola, Fontina, or Brie would be a nice option.
