1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for doughˆ 1 (1-pound) bag prepared pizza dough 1 large very ripe tomato, cored and chopped (or 1 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon lemon juice 6 fresh basil leaves, roughly torn 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced and 2 cups arugula or other baby greens

After the dough has rested, heat one side of a grill to medium-high and the other side to medium-low.
In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, basil and the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss well, then set aside.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circle about 14 inches across. Use the cutting board to carry the dough out to the grill. Place the dough on the hot side of the grill and grill until the bottom is browned and has grill marks, about 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the dough and move it to the cooler side of the grill.
Top the pizza with the mozzarella, then cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Use the spatula to transfer the pizza back to the cutting board. Cut the pizza into slices, then top evenly with the arugula. Using a slotted spoon, top the pizza with the tomatoes.
