Love pizza on the grill and this one was really tasty! I don't care for onions so left them off mine but included them on hubby's; I also used fresh mushrooms instead of jarred. I used charcoal which is tricky but I love the flavor it gives. This made a great pizza - thanks for posting the recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008
