Stuffed crust pizza is really easy to make at home using a little extra cheese and my pizza crust recipe. Skip the pizza delivery tonight because homemade tastes even better!
We’ve made pizza pull apart rolls, but today I’m showing you how to make real deal stuffed crust pizza, a recipe that will test every ounce of your self control. We’re using my trusty homemade pizza dough and some basic pizza toppings, but feel free to go hog wild.Hawaiian pizza or BBQ chicken pizza would be A+ with this stuffed pizza crust!
Are you a pizza crust person? Pizza would be nothing without its crust foundation and today’s recipe is for crust people. But if you’re not really a crust person, you’ve gotta be a cheese person. Don’t fret because today’s recipe is for cheese people too.
Stuffed Crust Margherita Pizza Recipe
Start with pizza dough. Now you can definitely use store-bought here, but I urge you to give homemade pizza crust a try. I have both a regular pizza dough recipe and a whole wheat pizza dough recipe. You can use either for this stuffed crust pizza. This dough is super stretchy and soft, which is exactly the kind you need for assembling a stuffed pizza crust.
Shortcut alert! Use string cheese. I know it sounds weird, but I swear by this little hack. The perfect shape, width, and texture for creating those melty cheese pockets inside the pizza crust. If string cheese isn’t your thing, create narrow piles of shredded mozzarellaor cut fresh mozzarella into thin pieces to line around the edges.
Here’s the part that can make or break your stuffed crust pizza. Make sure you tuck it into the crust super tight—like I’m doing above. Fold the edges over the crust and firmly press down to seal shut. Any gaps won’t necessarily be a problem, but the cheese will melt out onto the pizza and not stay inside the crust. Just keep working with it to make sure the edges are folded over and snug shut.

The onlythings breaking open that cheesy crust are a pizza cutter and your big giant bite! And yes, it really is this easy to create stuffed crust pizza at home.
Because of the string cheese, the pizza won’t really be perfectly round. Rather, more like a heptagon with 7 sides. I haven’t heard any complaints though. 😉
This is a simple recipe for homemade stuffed crust pizza on top of from-scratch homemade pizza dough. Feel free to use store-bought dough if needed. Yields one 12-inch pizza or you can make two pizzas from the whole dough recipe. If doing so, double the string cheese and the topping ingredients.

What is Friday night dinner for you, because for us it’s been all about this Homemade Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza lately. An easy pizza crust topped with simple pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni and a crust filled with oozy, gooey cheese.
Keto Stuffed Crust Pizza
This all starts with my super simple homemade pizza crust and even making your own pizza base you can have this on the table in just over an hour. That includes rising time and if you have a stand mixer, the effort is very minimal, leaving you to enjoy a glass of wine and catch up on your week.
This is Friday night comfort food at it’s best. It’s simple ingredients, gooey cheese and flavour, flavour, flavour and one of our Friday night favourites now.
This recipe starts with a basic pizza dough – my easy homemade pizza dough recipe – and I use this recipe for everything from calzone to flatbread and have even used it to make focaccia. It’s simple, delicious and creates a nice puffy, crispy crust.

While making pizza dough from scratch does take a little time, very little of that time is hands on, especially if you use a stand mixer to knead the dough. Most of the time is spent allowing to hang out in a nice warm spot and rise.
The speed at which any bread dough rises will depend on how warm the area is where it sits. You want it to be a warm, draught free spot but not hot. Under a rangehood lamp is ideal or next to a warm – not hot – window. The warmth nudges the yeast into life along with a touch of sugar.
You can start any pizza with this basic homemade pizza dough – meatlovers and tandoori chicken are old favourites for us but more recently I’ve used it to make my Pesto Chicken Calzone and it works a treat.
Stuffed Crust Cast Iron Pizza
For this stuffed crust pepperoni pizza recipe, you’ll use a few really simple ingredients including a homemade pizza sauce (super simple, pinky promise).
Mozzarella (for melty gooey factor) and parmesan (for flavour). The mozzarella is used in the crust as well as one of the toppings but I also often swap that for gouda with great results. You can swap the parmesan for a flavourful cheddar.
I find a block or shrink wrapped mozzarella the best. The fresh mozzarella in water is too wet and will leave you with a puddle pizza. Cut the mozzarella into batons for the crust and grate it for the topping.
Vegan Stuffed Crust Pizza With Homemade Mozzarella And Herb Crust
Also, don’t use pre-shredded mozzarella. It has a flour coating to stop it from sticking together but this also stops it from becoming nice and smooth and gooey.
This adaptation on my homemade pizza sauce is rich in flavour and the perfect base for this simple pizza plus it is literally a case of mixing together a few ingredients. It keeps well in the fridge (for up to a week) and is even freezer friendly so make a big batch and keep it on hand.
There are a number of pans / vessels to use to cook pizza on but my two favourites are either a flat round metal tray with air holes or a cast iron skillet. I get the very best result from a large cast iron skillet, just remember it stays hot for a long time so, after you’ve taken it out of the oven, don’t burn yourself. A metal tray cools down much quicker.
Vegan Pepperoni Pizza
You can use a pizza stone but personally I find them more trouble than they’re worth. The purpose of a pizza stone is to get it really hot first so if you use one, you’ll need a pizza peel too to help you move your pizza from bench top to the preheated stone. I find this part often messy and they aren’t as easy to clean either. Some people swear by them though, so if you don’t like the tray or skillet idea, maybe check out a stone instead.
Pizza is always a social food, don’t you think? I sure do and when you make from scratch, it’s not only incredibly satisfying but it’s also even more social. You can have a glass of wine, chat, get the family involved or make it a date night. Any way you want to look at it, I know you are craving your very own stuffed crust pepperoni pizza, because if you aren’t, why are you still reading, so off you go and enjoy.
Perfect Friday or date night dinner, this Homemade Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza recipe is just a few simple ingredients and made entirely from scratch. Easy pizza crust topped with oozy cheese and pepperoni but the real fun is the cheesy stuffed crust.
