Place a 14" cast iron skillet* on the grill and start the grill at high heat. Close the lid to the grill and let things heat up.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over a medium heat. When hot, add the squash and onion.
Cook the squash and onion until the onion is translucent and the squash is semi-soft.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Place the pizza crust on a cookie sheet or pizza paddle and spread the pizza sauce over the crust.
Top with the coarsely chopped sage, followed by the feta cheese.
Lay the squash slices with the onion onto of the feta. Start with an outer circle of squash about 1/2 inch away from the edge of the crust. Continue to add the squash/onion in smaller circles until the pizza is covered.
Spread the remaining whole leaves of sage across the top of the pizza.
Once the grill and cast iron skillet have heated at least 15 minutes, slide the pizza into the skillet. Reduce to a medium heat if possible.
Close the grill and let "bake" for 12 - 15 minutes until the edges of the crust have started to brown.
Remove from the skillet, let cool for about 3 minutes, cut and serve.
Cast iron skillet - If you have a pizza stone that can be used on a grill, then use it, but be sure to check. Some stones will crack due to the open flame of a grill. You could also just place the pizza directly on the grates, but we find that the pizza "bakes" better in the cast-iron and the crust gets crispy, but not burnt.
Pizza crust and Pizza sauce - If you like to do everything from scratch, you can make your own pizza crust and sauce. However, nowadays I use quality shortcuts for some items. For ready-made pizza crust and sauce I use Rustic Crust. The crusts and sauce are both excellent and are made with quality, natural products.
Yellow Squash - You can substitute with any other summer squash or combination thereof.
