Get ready. Ensure your dough, whether homemade or store-bought, is at room temperature. (If it’s in the refrigerator, allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.) Clean and oil your grill grates, then preheat to high (500°F).

Shape the dough. On a clean, lightly floured surface, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Coat each piece well with olive oil. Working one ball at a time, stretch the dough into a circle, pressing with the palms of your hands outward from the center. Leave the edges of the dough slightly thicker than the middle to form a crust, but make sure you don't stretch the dough too thin. You want it to be sturdy enough to flip on the grill. Repeat with the second half of the dough. Transfer each dough round to a large piece of parchment paper (you can also use a pizza peel for this if you have one) and let sit for 5 minutes, then reshape, if needed, to make sure each pizza is your desired size.

While the dough rests, prepare the topping. Place the halved tomatoes, basil, olives, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil into a medium bowl. Toss to combine. Set aside for now (if liquid is released, drain it before using this mixture on the pizza).

Grill the dough. Brush the top of the dough with more olive oil. Flip the pizzas directly onto your heated grill with the oiled side down. Peel off the parchment paper, close the lid, and grill for 2 to 3 minutes.

Flip. Open the lid and brush the top of the dough with olive oil. Use a pair of tongs to flip the dough over, then cover and cook for about 2 to 3 more minutes. The dough is ready when it turns golden brown with some grill marks on both sides.

Melt the cheese. Brush the dough with olive oil once more and top with the mozzarella cheese. Cover the lid until the cheese has melted, about 1 minute.

Finish and serve. Remove from the grill, spoon the fresh tomato mixture on top, sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using), slice and serve immediately!
