How do you keep pizza from sticking to a cast-iron skillet?

The pizza shouldn’t stick if you’ve seasoned your cast iron skillet the right way . You can also sprinkle some flour or cornmeal in the pan before adding the pizza dough.

Should I preheat cast iron skillet for pizza?

A preheated skillet will give you a crispier crust. If you’re wanting a Pizza Hut / Round Table style pizza with a pillowy, less crispy crust, lightly coat the pizza cast iron pan with olive oil and DON’T preheat.

Can you use a pizza cutter on cast iron?

I’d suggest transferring your cast iron pizza to a cutting board once the edges are golden brown and waiting a few minutes, and then cutting the pizza. I prefer not to cut into the skillet because I don’t want to make marks on the seasoning.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
If you want a Pizza Hut / Round Table style pizza, lightly coat the cast iron skillet with olive oil. Otherwise, place the cast iron skillet in the oven for 30 minutes to preheat.
Meanwhile, divide the pizza dough into two. Pound one piece of the dough into a circle about the size of your cast iron skillet.
Very carefully place the dough into the cast iron skillet and press the dough out so that you get a lip around the edge for the crust. Please work carefully as a preheated cast iron skillet will be hot!
Smear about ¼ – ½ cup of sauce on the bottom of the pizza.
Top with the appropriate toppings and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubble and the crust is golden.
Repeat with the second round of dough.
Enjoy your homemade cast iron skillet pizza!

Notes
