Easy Pour Pizza
This pizza is a game changer! Just pour the dough mixture in the pan and add the toppings!
This easy pour pizza is one of those clever weeknight recipes that feels almost magical — you simply whisk together a quick batter, pour it into the pan, and let the oven turn it into a crust. No kneading, no rising, no rolling. Once the base is set, you add sauce, toppings, and cheese, and it finishes into a bubbling, golden pizza that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.
It’s a perfect option for busy nights, picky eaters, or times when you want homemade pizza without the fuss of dough. Customize the toppings however you like — pepperoni, veggies, or leftover cooked meats — and enjoy a comforting meal with minimal effort.
I used our favorite toppings: ground beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, and sliced black olives. It’s a combo casserole-pizza, and it makes a satisfying family meal that everyone will enjoy. If you love pizza but don’t have time to make a homemade dough, this is an excellent option!
