Sheet Pan Pizza
A thick, chewy sheet pan pizza with crispy cheese edges that’s easy to make, feeds a crowd, and feels just as right for a casual night as it does for having people over. Start with cheese and finish with whatever toppings you like!

Notes
- Top with a very lightly dressed arugula salad (lemon, olive oil, salt, pepper). Pizza salad!
- If you don't have sharp cheddar, use more moz or parm for the buttered base.
- Use the extra sauce for dipping! You won't be disappointed.
Swaps
- Classic combo: pepperoni and jalapeños
- Sheet pan pizza supreme: pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, bell peppers, black olives
- Margherita: fresh basil and fresh mozzarella
- Veggie: use up those fridge veggies
- Chef's choice!
Use It Again
