This simple variation on the classic red, white and green Pizza Margherita is perfect for tailgate entertaining or fall or winter grilling. The pizza crust is easy – just use any of the ready-to-bake pizza base suggestions in the recipe. Or you can buy pizza dough from your local pizzeria. You can easily multiply the recipe to serve more.
Preheat outdoor grill or light charcoal in grill with cover. If using thawed frozen pizza dough, cut in half and roll or pull into 2 rounds. Place on grill. (If using refrigerated pizza dough, open container and spread dough on a baking sheet lightly dusted with cornmeal, as label directs, the slide onto grill.) Cover and cook until well browned on bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and spread browned side with pesto and top with tomato slices. Rinse avocados, cut in half and remove seed and peel. Cut avocado into 8 slices. Arrange slices on the pesto. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Return to grill, cover and cook until bottoms are browned and cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
