Summer Mushroom Grilled Pizza with Pistachio Vinaigrette.

This summer mushroom pizza is absolutely incredible! Chewy crust, asiago cheese, sautéed mushrooms with bacon and a big drizzle of a pistachio herb dressing. It tastes like a fancy dish but is so easy to make at home!

This pizza is the epitome of summer lovin’. 

This pizza doesn’t look like much, but it tastes like everything!! Juicy mushrooms with crispy bacon, sharp asiago cheese, a fabulous vinaigrette made with pistachios and tons of fresh herbs – it’s incredible. It’s everything I want to eat and more! 

Okay, can you tell I’m in a bit of a pistachio phase? I almost shared three recipes with pistachios last week, but at the last minute cut it back to two. Does it even matter? Because here I am again, rambling all about this pistachio herb dressing that is my ultimate dream. It is briney, tangy, crunchy, herby and refreshing. 

And makes just about anything super satisfying! 

I also have been in a mushroom phase since the testing round of my summer mushroom tacos. We ate so many of them and I’m still not sick of them. 

This combo is one of my new favorites, a new go-to that I make especially for Eddie and myself, because it’s so flavorful and delicious. 

Think chewy pizza crust, sauteed mushrooms with crispy bacon, lots of asiago cheese and an herby pistachio drizzle to top it all off.

Oh my gosh – it tastes SO FREAKING GOOD. 

In the summer, I love grilling my pizzas. It’s really easy once you get the hang of it and the smoky charred flavor is fabulous. 

This is how I do it!

While the pizza dough is rising, I cook the bacon until it’s crispy. Since I grill the pizza, I get it very crispy because it doesn’t burn on the grill like it does in the oven. 

Next, I cook the mushrooms and garlic in the bacon fat. Oh my YES. This adds an extra layer of flavor and it’s wonderful. Makes the whole dish extra special. 

If I haven’t done this yet, I’ll chop up the herbs and pistachios to make the dressing/drizzle. This is similar to a chimichurri but loaded with buttery, crunchy pistachios. I also use it on my grilled peaches with burrata. I suggest planning to make both in one week so you can maximize the dressing! Use it to elevate both meals and have it in the fridge ready to go. Makes meals super easy when the time comes. 

I also make sure my cheese is ready to go!  (more…)
