Pizzas taste extraordinary when baked in an outdoor grill, which simulates the wood-burning ovens favored by professional chefs. A grill can attain a higher level of heat than a home oven, and pizzas emerge with a wonderfully smoky flavor.

Here we offer some recipes to get you started, from a pizza topped with potatoes, crispy pancetta and arugula to a Southwestern-style pizza with fresh corn, spicy chorizo and red bell peppers. Once you have mastered the basics, the combinations of toppings are endless. Just visit your farmers' market for inspiration.
