Another tip to make an excellent skillet pizza is to ensure your oven is hot. We’re talking 450 degrees hot and no less (the same logic applies when you make sheet tray pizza). Don’t skimp on the pre-heating to save time because if you do, your pizza will suffer. Also, a well-seasoned cast iron pan will work for this recipe, but make sure you heat it well before you place the dough. Prepping the ingredients in the same pan should help.
