Many may want it, but few will have it. A coal fire oven is not exactly a household staple. It’s actually quite the investment – even for those with a dream kitchen. But you can get much of the same smoke and flavor when you try this grilled peach pizza. All you need is your basic backyard grill (gas or charcoal) and a hot skillet. Of course, the pizza itself won’t be basic. You’ll top it with maple-caramelized onions, warm, gooey peaches and fresh mozzarella for a restaurant-level flatbread that didn’t require a personal loan or second mortgage. How ‘bout them peaches?
