Description
Pizza Pot Pie: A cheesy, comforting, and irresistible twist on classic pizza baked in a crusty pot pie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1½ cups pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or provolone cheese
- 1 cup cooked sausage or pepperoni slices
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup sliced black olives
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a deep-dish pie pan or oven-safe skillet.
- Roll out pizza dough and press it into the pan, covering the bottom and sides with some overhang.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the sauce.
- Add sausage or pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, and bell peppers evenly on top.
- Season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Fold excess dough over the filling to partially cover the top, leaving some filling exposed. Brush dough with olive oil.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, covering loosely with foil if the crust browns too quickly.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use all sausage or all pepperoni, or a mix of toppings.
- For a crisper crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding fillings (optional).
- If the crust browns too quickly, tent with foil.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
- To make gluten-free, substitute with a gluten-free pizza dough.
