School Lunch Cheese Pizza Recipe

American · Main course · 35 min total

A nostalgic, kid-friendly cheese pizza reminiscent of classic school cafeteria slices, with a soft crust and melty mozzarella.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough, room temperature
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 3 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. Divide dough into 2 pieces. On a floured surface, roll each into a 12-inch round.
3. Transfer each round to a parchment-lined baking sheet or floured pizza peel.
4. Spread 1/4 cup sauce evenly over each dough round, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
5. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups mozzarella over each pizza. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil per pizza, then sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
7. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into squares or wedges.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, bake directly on a preheated pizza stone.
• Serve with a side of ranch dressing or marinara for dipping.
• Leftover pizza can be reheated in a toaster oven or skillet.
