Directions
Preheat the grill.
Prepare the pizza dough according to the 100% whole wheat pizza recipe if using, or you can use store-bought dough.
Place the pizza dough on the grill.
Cover and grill until the bottom is well marked and nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes or more, after the first 3 to 4 minutes, check the bottom, if they are not quite browned and marked, keep grilling for a few more minutes.
Using tongs transfer the crust to a baking sheet. Close the lid.
Flip the crust, so now grilled-side is facing you.
Spoon the tomato sauce onto the surface and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle half of the cheese over the tomato sauce.
Arrange the tomato slices to cover the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining half of the cheese on top.
Switch the grill to indirect heat.
Return the pizza onto the grill, cover, until the bottom is well browned and the cheese is melted, about 8 minutes.
