Deep Dish Cast Iron Pizza is inspired by the classic Chicago style deep dish pizza so many people (including my whole family) know and love. It’s perfectly crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside, and piled with lots of cheese and toppings! What’s not to love? he way the crust remains doughy, while being crisp on the outside is so delicious. I can’t even explain how good! You just have to try it.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Preheat Your Cast Iron 🔥Heat your cast iron skillet in a 500°F oven for 15-20 minutes before adding dough to ensure the bottom crust becomes perfectly crispy and golden brown.
- Butter the Pan Generously 🧈Use melted butter or olive oil to coat the entire cast iron surface, including the sides, which creates a flavorful crispy edge and prevents sticking.
- Layer Cheese Before Toppings 🧀Spread a layer of mozzarella directly on the sauce before adding toppings to create a protective barrier that keeps the crust from becoming soggy.
- Don't Overload with Moisture 💧Pat mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions dry with paper towels before adding them to prevent excess moisture from steaming the crust instead of crisping it.
- Rest the Dough First 🕐Allow your pizza dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before stretching and placing in the cast iron to promote proper rise and a lighter, airier crumb.
