Ingredients
- 1 recipe of Pizza Dough
- 1 tablespoon oil (divided per the directions)
- some pasta or pizza sauce
- some cheese
- (optional) some toppings
Preparation
Step 1
(Makes 2 personal size pizzas)
1 tablespoon oil (divided per the directions)
Directions:
Make the
. We did the overnight rise version which isn’t mentioned in the post about the dough. Basically you just make the dough and put the bowl in the fridge overnight and pulled it out a couple hours before making the pizza.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Talk half of the pizza dough and place it into the skillet. Spread it around the bottom of the skillet with your fingers. It’ll take a little doing but it sure was easier than rolling it out.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 17 minutes or until the crust has browned and the cheese has a few browned spots. (I rotated the skillet half way through the cooking time. I don’t think it’s required but it does help even out the browned spots.)
Note: You don’t need to use a cast iron skillet. You only need to make sure your skillet is oven safe at 450 degrees F.
Tina, I make something like this, but I use Bisquick (rolled thin) for my deep dish oven Pizza….it works beautifully. A little different consistency, but it works in a pinch.
I’ve never made a skillet pizza before, but this post makes me want to give it a shot. Like, this week. Or maybe this afternoon… How could it not be wonderfully delicious?
I love the idea of homemade pizza in a skillet. I believe that skillets make every dish better, this looks delicious!

Yum! I’ve yet to make pizza in my skillet and I’m excited to give it a try! Hope you kick this food issue
Thank you and sorry for the delayed response as I as on vacation last week! That’s not a dumb question at all! The recipe I use makes 2 personal size ones. Usually I have one and my husband has the others. If we have any leftovers we either freeze or refrigerate them. Hope that helps.
I’ve been delaying the purchase of cast iron skillet for so long, but that pitcher convinced me, it’s be time. I’ve been overinduging on my own calzones (Contadina Pizza Sauce is fabulous but after a why I overdose on it, then wait for a few months, then I can’t live without it again for a week. I just hate having to roll out the dough and getting flour all over the place, so a skillet is a nice idea, just one dish to clean.
I think you’ll be addicted to your cast iron skillet, like I am. ? Those ideas sound awesome… I think the way to know is to try them all.
Oh yes, this is the only way to make a pizza. I have been using my large cast iron skillet for last few years now and it always comes out great! I use a larger pan tho. Another thing that is a must try is making pies in a cast iron skillet. These too come out spectacular. They have that old fashion homey look but also the crust is beautiful. I have a whole set of cast iron skillets given to me by my grandmother when I got married. They had been hers thought her life. And considering I am a great grandmother (3times now) now, you can only imagine how old these “jewels” are.
Only half of the recipe will fit in my size skillet so we make 2 pizzas.
We make a second pizza as soon as the first one is done.
