What’s in this Cast Iron Pizza Recipe?
Making deep dish pizza in a skillet is such an easy way to get a crispy, flavorful pizza stuffed full of tasty ingredients for pizza night at home. You only need four ingredients and one pan to make this dish!
Bread Dough: I’m using frozen bread dough for the skillet pizza crust. It makes a nice, fluffy yet crispy crust that’s ideal for this recipe. Feel free to make homemade pizza dough if you like. Tomatoes: Instead of pizza sauce, we’re using a can of diced tomatoes because they add a chunky texture that works well with the deep crust. I like the kind with basil, garlic, and oregano already mixed in, but you can season the tomatoes yourself if needed. Cheese: I recommend using shredded Mozzarella for the cheese. But you can also use a blend, or another type of cheese, if you prefer. We’re also using grated Parmesan. Olive Oil: Use a regular/pure olive oil, rather than an EVOO.
If you don’t want to use diced tomatoes for your cast iron pizza, use marinara sauce, meat sauce, or your favorite jar of pizza sauce. But keep in mind that thicker, chunkier sauces will hold better.
What toppings can I add to this skillet pizza?
Cheese and tomatoes are great for a simple meatless pizza that everyone can enjoy. But you can easily add any pizza toppings you like to your skillet pizza! Green peppers, Italian sausage, bacon crumbles, onion, black olives, pepperonis, and more can be mixed right into the filling before baking.
How to Store and Reheat Skillet Pizza
Store leftover skillet pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Reheat slices of pizza in the oven at 350F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Microwaving is fine, but it will leave the crust a little soft and soggy. The oven will crisp it back up.
How to Freeze Pan Pizza
Freeze cast iron pizza by wrapping it tightly in layers of plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then place slices in a freezer-safe bag. Let it thaw in the fridge before reheating.
What to Serve with Cast Iron Pizza
When pizza night rolls around, you have to add some garlic knots, pull apart cheesy bread, or classic garlic bread. You can also serve it with a chicken Caesar salad or Greek salad. No matter how you serve it, this cast iron skillet pizza will be the star of the night! If you make this recipe be sure to upload a photo in the comment section below or leave a rating. Enjoy!
