Sheet Pan Pizza

Sheet Pan Pizza makes one HUGE pizza that's perfect for feeding the whole family! Everyone can add the toppings they want, and it's the easiest way to make homemade pizza with very little mess. Baking on the bottom rack ensures a fully cooked crust without overcooking the toppings.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing pan
  • 1 prepared pizza dough store-bought or homemade (see notes)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce (see notes)
  • 8 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • additional toppings of choice pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, more cheese, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Arrange a rack on the bottom half of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet/half sheet pan with olive oil or cooking spray. Allow your pizza dough to come to room temperature if it's cold from the fridge (it's easier to stretch out when it's warm - see notes).
  2. Spread your pizza dough out onto the sheet pan by stretching it gently to fit the pan. Press it down onto the sheet pan so it's quite thin on the center, forming a ridge around the perimeter.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the pizza, avoiding the ridge on the perimeter of the crust. Top with the shredded mozzarella and any other toppings you want (see notes).
  4. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and starting to brown.
  5. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before cutting into 8 slices and serving.

Notes

  • You can place the dough on top of the oven on the greased sheet pan while it preheats to help warm it up, and/or take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature 1-2 hours before cooking or freezer and 3-4 hours before cooking.
  • If forming the dough seems difficult to do without tearing, let the crust rest for 10 minutes or so and come back to it - it will be easier to handle when it's warmer and has rested a little bit. If the dough is sticky, you can coat your hands in a little olive oil to help.
  • Here is my homemade pizza dough recipe, with honey, olive oil, and part whole wheat flour.
  • For pizza sauce, I often just use store-bought marinara sauce rather than pizza sauce, since I often have some left over in my fridge from making pasta. I also love using homemade pizza sauce - here is my homemade pizza sauce recipe that only takes 10 minutes to whip up.

  • I like to make four different sections of the pizza, so each person in my family can get the toppings they like. If you are adding delicate leafy herbs or greens (like fresh basil or arugula), add those to the top of the pizza after it's done baking.
