Tart cherries, creamy goat cheese, peppery arugula, and sweet balsamic drizzle are a delicious combination of flavor on top of this grilled pizza! If you’ve never grilled pizza dough it’s actually quite simple. The main things to remember are to oil the grates of your grill well so the dough doesn’t stick and brush the pizza dough with olive oil. Make sure you have your tongs or a spatula nearby so you can flip the pizza dough when it’s ready. Once the dough is flipped you need to work quickly to get the toppings on the pizza. Luckily this cherry and goat cheese pizza is very simple so all that’s required is sprinkling on the crumbled goat cheese and scattering on the cherries. The length of time the pizza needs to grill will depend on your grill. Mine took about 2-3 minutes per side.
