Cast iron skillet pizzas are a game-changer for pizza night! This recipe is simple enough for a weeknight meal but special enough for a family get-together or casual dinner party. By dividing one dough ball into two, you can create two personalized pizzas, letting everyone customize their toppings. The cast iron gives the crust that irresistible golden crisp while the oven melts the cheese to perfection. This method ensures pizza with a bubbly crust, gooey cheese, and perfectly cooked toppings – just like your favorite pizzeria but made at home! Make it a weekly tradition, and your family will thank you.
