Step 2
Meanwhile, place dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch round crust, about 1/4 inch thick. Place crusts on a floured baking sheet. Carry crusts and toppings out to the grill.
Step 3
Lay crusts on grill (they won't stay perfectly round). Cover grill and cook until crusts are lightly puffed and undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Using tongs, flip crusts. Immediately spread pesto over crusts. Top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with feta and pepper. Cover grill and cook until the undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.

Keeper!!! Husband made the crust. His half of the pizza was traditional. My half had a lot of pesto, basil, feta, etc. Oh, my, what a tasty treat!!! Pros: Super Flavor; loved the marriage of the basil, pesto, and feta Cons: Not enough leftovers.

This is a spectacular pizza! Despite some ups and downs with the crust (which I also made from scratch with an EatingWell recipe, this is incredibly tasty, incredibly fast, and incredibly impressive.
