Steps:
- Cut the pizza dough into 8 pieces, each about the size of a tennis ball.
- Stretch each piece into a circle, then shape into hearts by pushing in the top and pinching then pulling down on the bottom.
- Let dough sit for about 10 minutes to rest and rise.
- With the grill on medium-high (about 350-400 degrees), transfer crusts to the grill and cook until the crust puffs on top and gets grill marks on the bottom, about 3 minutes. If the dough sprouts any big bubbles, go ahead and pop them if you can.
- Transfer the crust to a cookie sheet or large platter, grilled side up.
- Spread the sauce on the pizza, add toppings, cover with cheese, and transfer back to the grill. Cook until pizza crust is cooked through, the toppings are hot, and the cheese is bubbly, about 3 - 4 minutes. If you have a barbecue with a lid, cooking them covered at this stage helps heat the toppings.
- Remove from the grill to a pizza peel or large baking sheet. Serve.
INDIVIDUAL HEART PIZZAS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Lightly dust two baking sheets with cornmeal.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into four equal pieces. Using your hands or a lightly floured rolling pin, stretch dough to form 8-inch rounds about 1/4 inch thick. If the dough begins to contract as you roll, let it rest for 10 minutes before rolling again.
- Transfer the dough rounds to the prepared pans. Using scissors, cut a V into one piece of dough to create the center notch of a heart shape. Stretch and pinch the opposite side to form the pointed end of the heart. Crimp the dough gently around the edge to form a border. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Divide pesto between dough, spreading in a thin even layer. Top with cheese, as desired, and sprinkle with parsley, salt, and pepper. Bake until crust is golden and cooked through, about 14 minutes.

Steps:
- Grab a ball of pizza dough. Set it on your cookie sheet or pizza stone.
- Shape/flatten it into a circle. If your dough won't hold its shape, let it sit for 5 minutes then try again.
- Pinch and pull the bottom of the circle to form a point.
- Take a finger to the top middle and push down toward the center of the pizza. Then tweak and shape a bit here and there if you'd like.
- Top just as you would any pizza!
- Bake following your pizza crust instructions - my general rule is 450 degrees Fahrenheit and I start checking the pizza at about 5 minutes - usually it's about 8 minutes before the toppings are perfectly melty and the crust is golden. Serve.
CHICKEN ALFREDO HEART-SHAPED PIZZA
This pizza is a breakaway from the traditional red sauce pizza. Homemade Alfredo sauce, grilled chicken, spinach, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese pair beautifully on this pizza. While homemade dough is always a plus, feel free to use store-bought pizza dough (I prefer Winco® pizza dough). Perfect for 2 to share.
