  • 5 Tortillas Large Plain
  • 1¾ Cups Canned Pizza Sauce (Classico Jarred) 410mL

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450℉
  • Start by placing one large flour tortilla down in the bottom of the cast iron skillet.
    5 Tortillas
  • Using a spoon cover the tortilla with an appropriate amount of pizza sauce.
    1¾ Cups Canned Pizza Sauce
  • Sprinkle a bit of cheese and then place a layer of the pizza pepperoni down.
    3 Cups Shredded Pizza Mozzarella, 1 Pkg Pizza Pepperoni
  • Sprinkle with more cheese lightly. Add another tortilla on top.
  • Spread more pizza sauce on the tortilla. Then sprinkle half of the diced onion on top.
    1 Med White Onion Diced
  • Add half of the cut-up pre-cooked bacon.
    12 Slices Pre-cooked Bacon
  • Lay another tortilla down. Repeat the steps for a pepperoni layer.
  • Lay another tortilla down. Repeat the steps for an onion and bacon layer.
  • Lay the last tortilla on top and spread with remaining sauce.
  • Sprinkle with the mozza cheddar blend and parmesan cheese.
    1½ Cups Shredded Mozza Cheddar Cheese, ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese

    1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning Blend

Notes

🔥 Amber’s Tips for an Amazing Deep Dish Pizza

  • Don’t rush the bake. A deep-dish skillet pizza needs that full oven time—let the top get golden and the layers heat all the way through for the best cheesy melt and crispy edges.
  • Crisp your bacon first. Even pre-cooked bacon benefits from a few minutes in the oven or microwave before layering—it’ll stay crisp, not soggy.
  • Go easy on the sauce between layers. A little goes a long way. Too much sauce = soggy middle.
  • If the cheese isn’t browned, hit broil. After baking, switch your oven to broil for 1–2 minutes to get that bubbly, golden top. Just keep a close eye so it doesn’t burn.
  • Let it rest before slicing. Give it 5–10 minutes after baking so the cheese settles. It slices cleaner and holds together better.
  • Use the right size skillet. A 10–12" cast iron pan works best. Too small and it overflows, too big and it gets dry.
