Why this Recipe Works

  • The crust turns out perfectly crispy on the bottom but fluffy in the middle.
  • It’s super simple and made with store-bought ingredients, including the pizza dough.
  • It’s what I call a no-fuss recipe because it’s made in one pan.
  • Easy clean up!

  1. Run a knife around the inside edge of the skillet between the skillet and the pizza to loosen any stuck-on areas.
  2. Place a large cutting board or dish on top of the skillet, and slowly invert it. The pizza should fall right onto the board/dish.
  3. Garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • I recommend using a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for this recipe. If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, use a non-stick skillet or spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • The trickiest part of this recipe is getting the pizza out of the skillet. The key is to let it rest for the full 20 minutes before inverting it onto a serving board or plate.
  • Be creative with your pizza toppings. Use mushrooms, Italian sausage, black olives, ham, or pineapple.
