I normally cook pizza in a cast iron frying pan. Whats really nice is that the 10 inch pizza pan has a lid. So I can put the whole wheat pizza dough in the pan, put the lid on top and have a safe place for the dough to rise before putting on the toppings. This is for a deep dish pizza.
Frying pans have sides so you don't have to worry about toppings or cheese falling off.
Also pizza pans have handles and are easier to take out of the oven.
I just put the pizza in a preheated oven and don't bother with preheating the frying pan.
