Love pizza in my cast iron. I've been doing it for years also. After working at a nationwide pizza place, I knew I could get similar results at home and cast iron did the trick. I don't cook the pizza on the stove first and my oven is preheated to 535 degrees then I turn it down to 525 degrees after I put the pizza in. That way the cast iron can soak up all that heat but the pizza will still cook at a nice high temp. The other thing I do is to use olive oil in the pan if I want a crispy crust and canola oil for not as crispy. My husband isn't a fan of a crispier crust. I use more than just a touch of oil though! Still cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Pizza is a once a week at our house! Thanks for showing us a different way of cooking with the cast iron. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to use more oil on my crust to imitate Pizza Hut pizza but I've just lost 30 pounds, so I'm extra careful about the oil. Besides, with less oil I can have 2 pieces! :>) ~ MaryJane
