This dish features layers of gooey mozzarella, zesty sauce, and your favorite pizza toppings, all wrapped in a flaky pie crust. It’s perfect for family dinners, game nights, or when you’re craving a hearty and customizable twist on tradition.
Ingredients
-
1 large pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
-
1 cup pizza sauce
-
8 slices mozzarella cheese, halved
-
4 slices provolone cheese
-
Optional toppings: pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives, cooked sausage, etc.
Instructions
-
Preheat oven according to the pizza dough instructions (usually 400°F / 200°C).
-
Prepare crust: Roll out the pizza dough large enough to line a pie dish, with some overhang. Press it gently into the dish.
-
Layer ingredients: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Layer with half of the mozzarella slices, then all of the provolone. Add your desired toppings. Finish with the remaining mozzarella slices.
-
Seal it: Fold overhanging dough over the top or cover with an additional dough layer. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut small slits in the top to vent.
-
Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
-
Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
For added crispiness, brush the crust with an egg wash before baking.
-
This recipe is very flexible—try BBQ chicken, veggie lovers, or meat lovers’ versions!
-
Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes after baking for easier slicing.
-
Can be made in individual ramekins for personal-sized servings.
