EASY SHEET PAN MARGHERITA PIZZA
Sheet pan pizza is totally a thing in our house. We have it once a week when I’m just too lazy to put much effort into a meal and there’s never any complaints from my family because who doesn’t love pizza? And there’s nothing as glorious as a simply Margherita pizza. Right?
My first introduction to sheet pan pizza was when my mom, brothers and I used to visit my dad at work. His boss was Italian and his wife would prepare these epic Italian lunches for the entire office. One day when we got there, she brought out these giant pans filled with pizza. She cut them into large squares and everyone started digging in. I just remember cheesy slices being passed around and that first bite. Hot, gooey cheese, perfectly seasoned tomato base and a crust that was equally crisp and a little pillowy. It was just heavenly.
So to this day, I have a soft pot for a good sheet pan pizza. I always have pizza dough in the freezer to make pizza night just that little bit easier but if you don’t, or don’t want to make your own, store-bought is completely fine. I don’t roll it out too thin because I want the pizza to be able to hold itself when I pick up a slice, especially as the slices are a little larger than with a classic pizza.
