I’m obsessed with this Super-Quick Cast-Iron Tortilla Crust Pizza technique for making thin crust pizza in under 15 minutes.
Cast-Iron Thin Crust Pizza
We are are a pizza loving family, in the summer we love making Grilled Pizza from scratch, and we often make Breakfast Pizza, this quicker pizza uses a combined stove top and oven technique that comes out just like Domino’s or any bar thin crust pizza! And it only takes a few minutes!
Ever since I got my hands on Liz Moody’s new cookbook, Healthier Together, this pizza has been on repeat in my kitchen because it’s so dang easy! And, it uses ingredients I always have on hand – marinara, mozzarella and tortillas. It’s really quick and simple, and can be customized with any combination of pizza toppings you wish to use! And it’s also easily made gluten-free with my favorite tortillas, Siete brand. The ball is totally in your court! I like a classic tomato, mozzarella and basil, but here are some toppings Liz suggests…
Pizza Topping Variations:
CLASSIC NEW YORK – Mozzarella cheese from the milk of grass-fed cows + dried oregano, dried basil + garlic powder + salt
BETTER THAN MARGARITA – Chunks of mozzarella from the milk of grass-fed cows + fresh basil (add after cooking) + drizzle of hot honey
BRUSSELS SPROUTS & BACON-ISH – Shredded Brussels sprouts + pan-fried in avocado oil with a sprinkle of salt until just brown + cooked pasture-raised bacon or coconut bacon
BBQ CHICKEN PARTY – Cheddar cheese from the milk of grassfed cows + shredded pasture-raised rotisserie chicken + tossed in BBQ sauce + thin-sliced red onions
THE SALAD PIZZA – Thinly sliced apple, toasted, chopped walnuts, fresh arugula (add after cooking) + a drizzle of olive oil (add after cooking) + a drizzle of balsamic vinegar (add after cooking).

Quickest Cast-Iron Thin Crust Pizza
Ingredients
- Olive oil spray, for greasing the pan
- 2 6-inch tortillas (I love Siete gluten-free grain-free cassava tortillas)
- 4 tablespoons tomato or marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup full-fat mozzarella, she prefers cheese from the milk of grass-fed cows
- Toppings of choice, cheese from the milk of grass-fed cows, thinly sliced vegetables, dried or fresh herbs
- fresh basil, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Spray the oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and warm over medium-high heat. When hot place one tortilla in the pan. Reduce heat to medium and let cook for 1 minute.
- Flip the tortilla and cook for an additional minute while you add 2 tablespoons of sauce, spreading it all the way to the tortilla’s edge.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese or any toppings of your choice, reserving fresh herbs to finish.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the edges of the tortilla are golden brown but not burned (if you’re not using cheese, check on the early side).
- Transfer the pan back to the stove and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat, until the bottom is browned, but not burned.
- Transfer the pizza to a plate and let it cool slightly. Top with fresh herbs, if using.
- Repeat with second pizza and serve.
A delicious treat for when I’m craving pizza.

I made this with left over veggies and pretty much followed the basic plan – sauce , mozzarella , oregano, a sprinkle of shredded cheese and fresh basil! I liked it SOOOOO much it is already in the lineup for lunch today, with JUST sauteed portabella’s hoping to entice my husband into a lunch time treat! REALLY REALLY GOOD!
