Make the ultimate cheese pizza at home using this straightforward recipe. You get a perfect pie with a crispy crust and layers of gooey, melty cheese, ideal for a quick dinner or family night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded (best cheese for pizza)
  • 1/2 cup provolone cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, about 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Brush the edges of the dough lightly with olive oil.
  4. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
  5. Distribute the mozzarella and provolone cheeses over the sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle with dried oregano and a pinch of salt.
  9. Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the best melt and stretch, use a blend of low-moisture mozzarella and provolone. Avoid fresh mozzarella unless you dry it first.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the dough plain for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
  • This recipe works well for a quick pizza dinner when you need comfort food fast.
