Grilled Brussels Sprouts Pizza is loaded up with plenty of crispy edges, melty cheese and delicious onions.
Today we are exploring this incredible recipe for brussels sprouts pizza. Wait. . . before you turn your nose up at this, give it a try. Do you like roasted brussels sprouts? Do you like caramelized onions and bacon? Do you like cheese?
Then you will like this pizza.
The first time I had a version of this pizza was a Motorino, a pizzeria in the Lower East Side in Manhattan. I’ve been meaning to make my own version at home and it did not disappoint.
Despite all the components involved in making this pizza, it comes together rather quickly. I used some leftover frozen homemade pizza dough, but store bought or some picked up from your local pizzeria would do just fine too. Just make sure to stretch the dough out nice and and thin though.

Making this Recipe
Brussels Sprouts Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 pounds mozzarella torn into small pieces
- 4 slices thick cut bacon cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced or use grilled onions for way more flavor
- 2 cups brussels sprouts outer leaves removed, sliced in half
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees F. and have a half-sheet sized baking sheet ready.
- In a frying pan on medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp and remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain. Reserve the excess grease in the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and saute the onions in the reserved bacon grease until soft and it begins to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan with slotted spoon and set aside.
- Stretch the pizza dough out onto the baking sheet, pressing it into the corners and drizzle with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Prick the dough with the tines of a fork and par-bake for 5 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle with the torn mozzarella, bacon, caramelized onions and sliced brussels sprouts.
- Cook the pizza for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the brussels sprouts just begin to brown on the edges.
- Remove and let set for 2-3 minutes before slicing to serve.

Beautiful photos and what a delicious looking pizza, Susan! I’ve only ever had brussel sprouts once when I was a kid and I hated them (steamed and bland – Blech!) but this post makes me want to give them another try. You can’t go wrong with it on top of a pizza!
I knew this recipe was coming and I was SO looking forward to it! Now. If only I could figure out how to reach through and grab a slice – it looks fabulous.
Brussels sprouts on pizza is just brilliant! Love the idea.
Pizza is by far the best vehicle to get down veggies; nothing could make Brussels Sprouts taste better. Great blog, I’m really enjoying it.
This looks delicious! My father- in-law LOVES brussels, so I’m going to have to cook this up for him!
