When you can't decide between pizza and a burger, why not have both! This pizza burger will take your next cookout up a notch. I’ve taken the quintessential American burger and made an Italian version of it by adding ingredients you’d typically find on a pizza. And that’s how this burger got its name: pizzaiola refers not only to a female pizza maker but also to the tomato and herb sauce used on pizzas.

Grilled pizza is such a great concept, especially for summer entertaining at home. When you get down to it, it’s technically a flat bread – you grill up the dough until it’s nicely charred and puffed, then use summer’s finest produce to dress it up afterward. You can throw it back on the grill and close it for a few minutes if you want to achieve some melty cheese, but to keep it absolutely fuss-free in the summer, these are our absolute favorite no-cook topping ideas.
