This easy sheet pan pizza recipe is one of those great budget-friendly dinner recipes you can make on a friday night and know everyone will enjoy it.

One thing I love about making pizza at home is that I can make the pizza with any and all the pizza toppings we want and don’t need to get charged extra for it. Plus, I tend to like my pizza extra saucy so this way I can control just how much sauce is on the pizza.

Also, sometimes I will double the recipe so I can make up four pans of pizza and make four different types of people that everyone likes to feed a crowd.

Pizza-making ingredients are arranged on a countertop, including flour, yeast, olive oil, green bell pepper, pepperoni, cheese, olives, tomato sauce, and various seasonings.

How to Make This Easy Sheet Pan Pizza Recipe:

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, salt and brown sugar. Add water and oil; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth (about 5-7 minutes). Place dough in a bowl sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or dusted with flour. Cover bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes.
While dough rests, combine tomatoes, tomato paste, oil and seasonings in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
Divide dough in half; press into two 15x10x1″ baking pans (cookie sheets) sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake at 425℉ or until lightly browned, about 12-16 minutes.
Spread sauce over crusts; top with cheese and favorite toppings. Bake pizza in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes.
Cut into squares and serve.

Delicious Pizza Toppings

The nice thing about homemade pizza is the ability to essentially turn it into anything you want based on what you like! All you have to do is make sure you have the toppings ready to use.

These are a few of our favorite toppings to use for pizza include the following: bacon crumbles, pepperoni, pineapple chunks, ground cooked sausage, black olives, chopped chicken, ham, red onions, or banana peppers. I am definitely a sucker for a good BBQ chicken pizza! For that, you won’t need pizza sauce. Just switch it out for BBQ sauce.
