Cast iron skillet pizza

Been looking at recipes and grabbed the stuff to try it out. Anybody else make this or have any pointers? Thanks

I’ve done it a few times in a cast iron pan and thrown it in the oven. From my experience it turned out pretty good. Thicker crust didn’t work quite as well for me as it would not bake all the way through before the rest of the pizza was ready.

Also make sure your pan is well oiled

Give this a gander. BBQ Pit Boys pan pizza.

x2 a little butter coating before putting the crust down is my tip.

Buddy and I did these on our Kamado grills. No special reason but we did the Chicago style where the toppings are upside down(cheese on bottom, sauce on top). We tried a little hotter at 475 degrees and seemed to work out. Don’t know if higher temp is good or bad if using the oven.

Commercial ovens run 700-800 degrees. Most home ovens are incosistent at over 475 degrees, maintaining a consistent 475 degrees on a Kamado or Green Egg is feasible.

Homemade crust. put it on the grill, as hot as it will get. lots of olive oil between crust and cast iron. Oh yeah!

Another fun twist is doing bar style thin pizzas in a cast iron pan. . Using a tortilla as a crust, finishing under the broiler, from start to finish, the pizza is done in under 10 minutes. Awesome thin crust for something different.

I’ve never of that but sounds great. I could even do that on the pizzaz!

The wife just made one tonight. I know she bakes the crust for a while and then adds the toppings. I want to try it on the pellet grill next time.

So with all tips and suggestions I made the pizzas last nite. Cooked crust for 10 before adding toppings. Every thing turned out great. Nice using smaller skillets so you can make it a personal size. I would say pellet grill would add a good flavor to. Thanks all.
