Ingredients
- Pizza dough for 1 (14-inch) crust, store-bought or homemade (about 16 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 lb. ground Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup pepperoni slices
- 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh oregano, basil, or parsley, to taste
- crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- If the pizza dough was refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes - 1 hour before shaping.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a 12-inch cast iron skillet with oil. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll the pizza dough into a 14-inch circle. Place the dough in the prepared skillet, pressing the dough about 2 inches up the sides of the pan.
- Sprinkle with 1 ½ cups of the mozzarella. Add the sausage and pepperoni.
- Spread the marinara sauce over top. Sprinkle with Parmesan and the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella.
- Bake until the crust and cheese are golden brown, about 23-25 minutes. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with oregano, basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes
- If you prefer to make the dough at home, this is my favorite easy recipe. You will not need all of that dough for this recipe, so you can weigh out 16 ounces and freeze the extra for another day.
