How To Make Pizza on a Sheet Pan

See the recipe card below for full, detailed instructions

  1. Prep – Start by getting the oven preheated and lightly greasing a large (18-inch) baking sheet with cooking spray or brushing with olive oil.
  2. Make Dough – Activate the yeast by adding the warm water and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer along with the yeast and sugar. Stir to combine and let sit for 10 minutes until it’s foamy. Add the flour, oil, and salt to the yeast and use the dough hook attachment and mix at a low speed until a smooth ball of dough forms – about 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes in the bowl. Don’t have a stand mixer? You can also use a large mixing bowl, a wooden spoon and a little elbow grease.
  3. Assemble Pizza – Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the greased baking sheet. Spread the sauce over the crust, sprinkle with the cheese and Italian seasoning, and add toppings of choice.
  4. Bake – Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown. 
  5. Slice and Serve – It’s best to let the sheet pizza cool for 5 minutes so the cheese can set before slicing and serving.

Serving Suggestions

We love rounding out pizza night with a big, green salad on the side like this Caesar Salad or Copycat Olive Garden Salad.

Elevate your pizza night by adding some Homemade Garlic Breadsticks and Crispy Baked Chicken Wings, too!

Variations

  • Store-Bought Pizza Dough – While this pizza dough recipe is super easy, with no rising or kneading, you can use store-bought pizza dough. Keep in mind that it may slightly impact the bake time so keep an eye on it and cook until golden brown.
  • Vegan – The pizza dough is already vegan, so all you need to do is swap in a dairy-free cheese and vegan friendly toppings.
  • Sauces – Instead of marinara, try a different sauce like pesto, BBQ sauce, or alfredo sauce.

Storage and Reheating

Storage – Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheating –  Reheat leftovers in the oven at 450℉ for about 5 minutes to get the crust crispy again. Or check out how to reheat pizza in the air fryer.

  • Room temperature pizza dough – If you decide to make this with store-bought dough, make sure you let the dough come to room temperature before trying to stretch it onto your baking sheet.
  • Rotate halfway cooking –  This helps to make sure the crust cooks evenly and all the edges get nice and golden brown.
  • Grease the sheet pan – Not only does greasing the sheet pan helps keep the crust from sticking, but it also gives it a crispier, golden crust.
