Pizza. Who can hear that simple word without immediately imagining a hot-from-the-oven slice, its golden crust cradling a lava-flow of melting cheese and tempting toppings? Pizza is everyone’s favorite indulgence — which is why we’ve made Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza our 2020 Recipe of the Year.
With nearly 40 different pizza recipes on our site, it took some special touches to elevate Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza to Recipe of the Year status.
First and foremost, the extra-thick crust is an amazing combination of height and delicacy. While you might imagine a nearly 2”-tall crust being sturdy, this one is actually light and airy, its soft interior balancing beautifully with its crunchy bottom and crispy edges. It’s thick-crust perfection.

The crust’s light texture is the result of dough made not by kneading, but with a short series of folds followed by a long rest. This simple no-knead dough is approachable by anyone, no matter your skill level; the simple act of folding followed by a rest develops the dough just as well as kneading. Folding also adds airy pockets to the finished crust. Plus, as the dough rests overnight in the fridge, it develops outstanding flavor.
Rather than rely on a baking sheet or standard pizza pan, you bake our Recipe of the Year in a cast iron skillet. The pan’s heft and dark color act like a pizza stone, translating the oven’s heat into a crunchy-crispy, totally crave-worthy bottom and side crust.
That said, while a heavy, dark cast iron skillet will give you a superb crust, no worries if you don't have one; we offer some alternative pans in the recipe.

And how about the top? Unlike the vast majority of pizzas, which start with a heavy application of sauce, with this pizza you lay down a substantial layer of cheese first, then sauce. The cheese, spread edge to edge so that not a bit of the top crust remains bare, is an effective shield against any sauce-induced sogginess.
Oh, and one more thing: You know how, with a typical pizza, cheese sometimes oozes over the side and bakes into a delicious puddle of almost-burned crispiness on the pan? With Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza you’re guaranteed an entire outer edge of this delightful crispy crackly cheese, thanks to the magic of super-hot cast iron and melty mozzarella.
Now, what about toppings? We’ve chosen to focus on crust here, since we’re sure you can easily come up with your own favorite add-ons. But here are some simple tips.
Best Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza Recipe
Our Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza recipe gives you everything you need to successfully make this delightful treat. One thing you might note, though: the no-knead crust needs to rest for a minimum of 12 hours in the fridge, so consider this an overnight recipe and plan accordingly. Here's a simple timeline:
The night before: Stir together the pizza dough, give it its folds, and refrigerate it. Hands-on time for this process is only about 5 minutes, but it’ll take an hour overall for the dough to be ready to be put to bed for the night — so don’t start too late!
Pizza day: You’ll need about 3 hours, start to finish, to warm the dough, top it, and bake the pizza. If you want pizza for lunch, start around 9 a.m. Dinner pizza? Start mid- to late-afternoon. It’s just as easy as that.

Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza With A Sourdough Crust
The brilliant minds at King Arthur Flour tell us a little more about the pizza: Out of all the styles of pizza, we’ve chosen Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza as our 2020 Recipe of the Year. With its crispy golden edges, gooey layer of cheese (right to the edge!), and thick yet delicate crust, it has a texture and taste that make you want more. Plus, the crust has just five simple ingredients: it’s easy to pull off in a home kitchen.
Our recipe incorporates four baking 'tricks.' An untraditional, nearly no-knead method of folding the dough creates airy pockets in the crust. An overnight refrigerated rest allows the dough time to develop maximum flavor. Baking in a cast-iron pan makes an audibly crispy crust for your flavorful assortment of toppings. And finally, the unique layering of cheese beneath the sauce acts as a barrier to minimize sogginess.
Instagram. Feel free to follow their lead, or use whatever's in your fridge and on your mind. Just be sure to use a light hand with the toppings so the dough can puff up in all its cheesy-crispy glory.
Extra Crispy Cheese Pan Pizza • Hip Foodie Mom
—Our base cheese of choice is a block of low-moisture mozzarella, coarsely grated. Want to experiment with different cheeses? Choose those that melt well: Fontina, cheddar, Jack, provolone, Gouda, and Muenster are all good candidates.
—Want to add your own favorite toppings beyond red sauce and cheese? Vegetables or meats should be cooked before arranging them in a single layer atop cheese and sauce. Feel free to experiment with other sauces, too; pesto or white sauce are great alternatives to tomato. One hint: To avoid potential sogginess, stick to the same quantities and layering process for sauce and cheese listed above.
—For an extra hit of flavor, sprinkle freshly grated hard cheese (e.g., Parmesan, Asiago, Romano) and/or fresh herbs (oregano, basil, thyme) over the hot pizza just before serving.

—If you're serving the entire pizza (no leftovers) right away, you can serve it right from the pan if desired. We don't recommend using a knife to cut the pizza in the pan; it might mar your cast iron's surface. Instead, after loosening the edges, use a spatula to partially lift the pizza out of the pan, then cut a wedge using a pair of standard household scissors or kitchen shears. Remove the wedge and repeat until you've cut and served all of the pizza.
—Feeding a larger group? Double all the ingredients in the recipe and follow the recipe instructions as written, dividing the dough into two pans (mix and match from the choices listed in step #6 above).
