Slide the pizza on the foil onto the grill over direct heat. Cover and cook until the bottom of the crust starts browning and the edge is puffed, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Flip the crust and remove the foil. Cook the crust directly on the grill grates until the bottom is golden brown and marked, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Flip the crust once more and transfer to a rack. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining pizza dough.
