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

  • prepared pizza dough)

    store-bought or homemade (see notes

    1
  • pizza sauce or marinara sauce)

    (see notes

    1 c
  • shredded mozzarella cheese
    8 oz.
  • additional toppings of choice

    pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, more cheese, etc.

Directions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and starting to brown.

  5. 5

    Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before cutting into 8 slices and serving.
