This cast iron skillet pizza has a crispy bottom, soft chewy center and cheese from edge to edge. The secret is to start your pizza in an oiled skillet on the stovetop then finish cooking it in the oven, under really high heat, to get it crispy. You can use store bought dough or I've included a recipe to make your own. Once your dough is ready it takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
