This sweet and savory sizzling Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Pizza is made with fresh pineapple and smokey bacon… it’s absolute heaven, and perfect for grilling season!
Teriyaki Chicken Pizza Just Gave Pizza Night a Twist!
Summer is here, and that means it’s time to brush off the grill! Although our typical go-to grill items are chicken, steak, and veggies, I like to throw in a curveball now and again, like an easy-to-make grilled pizza…and this Teriyaki Chicken Pizza is a favorite!
Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE traditional Italian toppings, but I get very, very excited to experiment with unique flavor options like teriyaki and fresh pineapple on pizza! After all, why be bland when you can be awesome!
Sommer’s Recipe Notes
I love this Teriyaki Chicken Pizza because it’s so easy to make and it’s definitely a crowd pleaser. The juicy, fresh pineapple and rich teriyaki sauce combo make for a sweet and savory perfection!
- Grill Magic – You can throw the pizza straight onto the grates, but I feel you get a better result by heating a large baking stone on the grill.
- Quick & Easy – Pre-made pizza dough and rotisserie chicken make this recipe a breeze to put together.
Whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a backyard bbq, this unique pizza is sure to impress your guests!
Ingredient Notes and Tips
- Teriyaki Sauce – I love to use Soy Vay® Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade for this recipe because it gives a rich flavor, lacks preservatives, corn syrup and artificial flavors. Plus it’s Kosher! But you can also totally use traditional soy sauce if you prefer.
- Pizza Dough – You can use store-bought pizza dough or go ahead and make my homemade pizza dough recipe.
- Chicken – You can grill up some fresh, tender chicken breast or chicken thigh. Otherwise, save some time by shredding up some rotisserie chicken.
- Pineapple – I prefer to use fresh, chopped pineapple. Try to avoid using the canned version if you can.
- Garnish – Top off the pizza with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, pickled ginger, crumbled crispy bacon or sliced fresh green onion.
Recipe Variations & Dietary Swaps
- Gluten-free – Use a gluten-free pizza crust and make sure your teriyaki sauce is gluten-free. If you’re making pizza dough from scratch, use a gluten-free flour.
- Dairy-free – Swap the mozzarella for a dairy-free melting cheese alternative.
- Lower carb – Use a cauliflower crust for a lighter option or my homemade Low Carb Cloud Bread Pizza recipe.
- Soy-free – Use coconut aminos instead of soy-based teriyaki sauce.
- Hawaiian inspo – Swap chicken for ham and add extra pineapple for a tropical twist.
- Spicy kick – Add a few sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy twist.
- Cheese – Swap the mozzarella for gouda or cheddar for a richer taste.

- Reheating Leftovers – To reheat leftovers, bake them for 10 minutes at 375°F or microwave the slices in 30 second bursts until you can see that they’re warm. You can also reheat this teriyaki chicken pizza in the air fryer.
What to Serve With Teriyaki Chicken Pizza
This teriyaki chicken pizza is deliciously filling as is, but if you want to make it a complete meal pair it with a simple salad like this Crunchy Apple Slaw or this Asian Salad with sesame ginger dressing.
You can also serve it up with these Asian Beef Meatballs or a simple Miso Soup.

Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 pound homemade pizza dough, or store-bought
- 1 cup chopped cooked chicken (use leftovers or a rotisserie chicken)
- 3/4 cup chopped cooked bacon (about 8 thick-cut strips)
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/2 cup Soy Vay® Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high heat, 500-600 degrees F. Place a large baking stone over the grates.
- Place the chopped chicken in a medium bowl and pour 1/4 cup Soy Vay® Veri Veri Teriyaki Sauce over the top. Toss to coat.
- Cut the pizza dough into four equal pieces, then roll each piece out into an 8-inch circle. Spread 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce over each crust, leaving a 1/2 inch rim around the edges. Then top each pizza with chicken, pineapple, bacon, scallions and a scant sprinkling of cheese. It's best not to overkill on any topping.
- Slide the pizzas onto a baking sheet with a large flat spatula. Then transfer them to the hot baking stone on the grill. (You may need to grill one or two at a time.) Close the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the edges are crisp and bubbly. Remove and repeat if needed.

So excited try this! however it’s defiantly not kosher :)
Here is a variation which keeps the chicken really moist. grill on pan for the time suggested, then move to a roasting pan. pour a little chicken stock over to coat and cover bottom of pan, then bake 8-10 minutes. The chicken will be very moist while still cooking thoroughly.
It’s definitely summer in my mind already! Bring on the grilled pizzas, starting with this one!
Definitely my kind of pizza!LOVE it!
