Cooking Instructions

First, prepare White Clam Sauce:

• In a pan over medium heat, combine oil and butter. Add onion and celery and sauté onions and celery until tender. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Add wine and clam juice then reduce by half. Add cream and clams and bring to simmer, then reduce to desired thickness. Stir in Parmesan, chiles and parsley. Remove from heat and set aside till ready to top par-baked pizza dough.

Prepare Pizza:

• Divide pizza dough in half and, using hands, flatten both halves into desired shape, then place each on a separate piece of parchment paper. Lightly grease the top of each pizza dough with oil.
• To parbake pizza: Preheat grill to 300-350ºF. Maintain this range during the entire pizza grilling process. Grease the grill grates with more oil. Working one pizza at a time, flip the pizza and place it oil side-down on grill grates. Peel parchment paper off of dough. Close grill and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown grill marks form on the underside of pizza, and top of pizza is no longer wet and tacky (but just now firming up). Remove pizza from grill and place back on parchment paper with grill marks facing up. Repeat with other pizza dough.
• To top each pizza: (be sure to top the grill mark side of the pizza) Generously spread white clam sauce over top of pizza. Top with a 50/50 ratio of low-moisture mozzarella and whole milk mozzarella, chili crisp, then Phillips Lobster Claw & Knuckle (all to taste).
• To grill each pizza: Grill one pizza at a time for 5-6 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and underside of crust is evenly browned. Remove from grill. Slice immediately and serve. Enjoy!
