Sheet Pan Pizza

Sheet pan pizza is a rectangular, thick-crust pizza baked on a rimmed baking sheet, allowing for a large, shareable pie with a soft, focaccia-like base. It typically features a generous layer of tomato sauce, melted mozzarella cheese, and a variety of toppings like pepperoni, vegetables, or herbs. This style is a popular, easy-to-make home version of pizza, often associated with American home cooking and casual gatherings.
