!!!WOW!!! These were Fabulous! The grill gave this a little bit of a smokey flavor. Keep you eyes on these... my grill had a hot spot and one of my pizzas got a little "extra toasted" on the bottom. I used regular pitas and they made a nice base. If you sliced them up they would make nice appetizers too! I'll be making these again.
