Oven "fried" pizza is simply delicious - my family loves it! I love good food, but I don't love to cook. I was pleasantly surprised this is fun and easy to make. The pizza dough is fabulous.

I really wanted lamb sausage but it isn't available in my area, So I found a recipe online for homemade lamb sausage also very simple. And by simple I mean it's like making meatloaf, 1 lb ground lamb, minced garlic, 2 oz pomegranate juice, and few spices I always have on hand. I mix up the lamb and spices the night before.

I know this will alter the recipe but can anyone think of a product I could use in place of making your own crust? Refrigerated pizza dough or something else? I have tried to use yeast a couple times and never had anything turn out so I no longer attempt anything with yeast but this sounds good..I know it wont taste the same but I am happy with similar..

The crust on this rocked. I made this a while back and forgot to rate it. I looked up the recipe today because my son is bugging me to make it again. It is a winner in my house!!

I loved this crust and so did my family, including my two picky kiddos. It reminded us of "pan" pizza. Yum!

Love this crust and will continue to use it. Would taste great with any toppings. I made two pizzas. Both had caramelized onions and garlic with parmesan reggiano, fresh mozzarella, and basil. One had Italian sausage, the other had proscuitto. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Fried pizza is my new favorite. The crust is so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect!! I used regular pizza toppings and it worked out great.

My bf and I made this recipe (with a few changes last night, but we substituted Italian sausage, casings removed, for the lamb and we cooked the sausage in a skillet with the onions at the same time. We also added sliced mushrooms at the end of cooking. When it came down to making the dough, kneading it, and toasting it in the pan, it was really easy! I think that if you put enough oil in the pan, the crust should toast up nicely and be easy to flip. We tried skimping on the oil with the first pizza to be healthy and it turned out less crispy than our later ones with more olive oil. We topped the pizzas with shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, and dried oregano for more flavor. By far, these were the best pizzas we've made at home so far and they were fun to make!

This is a fantastic recipe. I used spicy sausage instead of lamb and added mushrooms. My husband loved it too! Who needs to order in when you can make pizza like this! Thanks Alex, you are a wonderful teacher!!!

The recipe yields the most delicious pizza dough I have ever tasted! It made such a tender yet crispy crust. The topping was outstanding too. I had a cast iron panini pan-the one that has the press that you put on top to hold the sandwich down- so I decided to use it for this recipe. The press actually came in handy because it kept the dough nice and flat in the pan and both sides came prefectly crispy. I took this recipe one step further and transferred the crust to the rack in my stove-top smoker and put the toppings on my pizza and then smoked it for 10 minutes using hickory and applewood. OH MY GOODNESS it was so delicious!! The mozzarella turned a nice smokey brown color and was just out of this world. My hubby has been hounding me to make it again!

I actually watched the show, and so the few recipe discrepancies flagged my attention. The dough is very easy to make, as far as pizza dough goes, and Alex's example of how to "commune" with the dough instead of traditional kneading is key.

Warning this dough is heavy NY style dough, so if your family is like mine, spread it thinly over your pizza pan or frying pan to ensure your dough does not overwhelm your toppings.

This is a great recipe, but only 4 stars as the printed version differed from the actual show.
