Grandma Pizza Recipe
Grandma Pizza is a nostalgic Italian-American tradition that requires only a basic sheet pan to create a crispy pizza with lots of melty cheese and just the right amount of tangy sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Homemade Pizza Dough (or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup prepared pizza or marinara sauce
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh oregano hot honey and/or flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- If pizza dough is refrigerated, allow to come to room temperature 1 hour before starting recipe.
- Position a rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Use oil to grease bottom and sides of 13 x 18-inch rimmed baking pan. Press dough into pan evenly.
- Let dough rest 10 minutes, then again press dough all the way into corners of pan.
- Sprinkle dough with mozzarella, spreading it all the way to the edges. Dollop with pizza sauce and spread it slightly.
- Transfer to oven and bake 16 to 20 minutes or until crust is completely cooked through, deep golden brown on bottom and crisp around edges, rotating pan once halfway through cooking.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, then let stand 5 minutes before cutting. Serve garnished with oregano, hot honey and/or sea salt, if desired.
