1. Perfect Grilled Pizza
Pizza is great fresh out of the oven, but if you haven’t haven’t had it grilled, you haven’t lived! Enjoy pizza night under the stars when you prepare your perfect grilled pizza right on the grill. Simply roll out your pizza dough and brush with olive oil, and toss it on the grill for crispy crust with a tender and chewy center. Top your grilled pizza with your favorite toppings for an unforgettable meal that’ll have you skipping take-out for the rest of the summer!
The Weber Gensis II is a great option for grilling pizza thanks to its large cooking surface area. It also features a 169 square-inch warming rack.
2. Grilled Peaches With Ice Cream
Stone fruits or fruits with a pit or “stone” in their center are absolutely delicious grilled and make for a simple, yet mind-blowing summer dessert. Grilled peaches with ice cream is a summertime favorite. To prepare this easy treat, slice your peaches in half, drizzle with oil, and then place it on the grill. The heat of the grill brings out the natural sugars in the peaches and caramelizes the edges, making grilling the preferred method of preparing a peach!
3. Grilled Brie

This sweet and savory appetizer can easily be prepared on the grill during your backyard barbecues and served with a refreshing, delicious white sangria. Brush your wheel of brie with oil and place directly on the grill; it’s that simple!

4. Grilled Bacon
Bacon is always good! But what if you could make it better? Switch up your morning routine and start grilling bacon instead of frying it in a pan. Why is bacon better on the grill? It reduces cleanup, and it’s a healthy option with less grease.
