This one is a cinch - preheat oven to 500 degrees and start with basic pizza dough. After it has risen, roll it flat, throw it (show off!) or simply press it into the bottom of a cast iron frying pan, go right up the sides. Then add your goodies.
I put in the pizza for 10 minutes at 500 before turning the oven down to 400 degrees.
I pulled the pie once the crust on the top edge was nice and brown. It was in for an additional 15 minutes after I turned it down to 400. I let it set on the cutting board for about ten minutes before cutting to let it set up a bit. I regret the strength of the onions, they needed a bit of advance cooking to tone them down. They could have been in the pan with the mushrooms while those were frying up with a tablespoon of butter. It really has everything but the kitchen sink in it as you can see - mozzarella, ricotta, goat cheese, peppers, onions (whew), pepperoni,
mushrooms, artichokes and tomato sauce. A cold beer is all you need to be good to go. That's a damn big piece of pizza by the way.
Addendum - we made a Seattle version that included a top crust with a filling including black beans. Woot.

Holy cow! We're looking for a cast iron pan... the iron will help Will. I feel a little extra incentive to get one now! ;)
