Philly Cheesesteak Pizza (Printable)

Tender steak, bell peppers, and onions blanketed in melted cheeses on golden crust.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Pizza Crust

01 - 1 prepared pizza dough (about 12 inches)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons cornmeal for dusting

→ Steak and Vegetables

04 - 8 oz ribeye steak, thinly sliced
05 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
06 - 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
08 - 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
09 - 1 garlic clove, minced
10 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Cheese and Toppings

12 - 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
13 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
14 - 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese (optional)
15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
02 - Dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal. Stretch or roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch round and place on the prepared surface. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil.
03 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced steak and cook for 2–3 minutes until just browned. Remove steak and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
05 - Evenly distribute half of the cheese mixture over the pizza dough. Top with steak, sautéed peppers and onions, then sprinkle remaining cheese over everything.
06 - Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or bake on the baking sheet for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
07 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley (if using), slice, and serve hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of three cheeses creates that perfect cheesesteak pull you get from a street corner in Philadelphia
  • You get all the satisfaction of a cheesesteak without the mess of eating it in your lap
02 -
  • Dough that is too cold will fight you when you try to stretch it so plan ahead and let it sit out
  • Overloading the toppings will make the crust soggy so resist the urge to pile everything on
03 -
  • A pizza stone makes a huge difference but a preheated baking sheet works in a pinch
  • Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking so the cheese sets up slightly
