Got the idea from SQWIB here.

http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/255906/deep-dish-pizza

I have the same huge CI pan.  This is a full size stove.   Its a 17" pan.

Put the pan in the oven at 425 for 20 mins. 

Rolled out some bagged dough on a floured surface.  

Then into  the pan, Mozz cheese first, bbq sauce, PP more Mozz and more bbq sauce.

Bumped the oven to 500 too cook.

The pie slide right out.  Must have the seasoning right on the pan.

Now the good pics.

Once the pizza cooled off more I could pic it up without the crust sagging.   Yea as SQWIB says, 20-30 mins, I got in a hurry.

I need to get better working the dough, but this is super good.   I will be trying more pies in this pan.

Looks great. I have been talking to the Accountant

 about getting a Lodge 17" or two for fried chicken and other cooks. 7 adults in the house requires a lot of bird and time cooking in a smaller pan. Pizza gives me another talking point...JJ
 
Dang Adam that looks good. I've got a couple of CI skillet's when my mother passed away that were my grandmother's. I've never used them before, but now you got me thinking. hmmmmmm

Chris.
 
I have that same skillet & I have never thought to make a pizza in it! DUH!

Gonna give it a try, maybe in the next couple of days, cause I'm sure I won't have any electricity for a while after Monday.

Cause yours sure looks delicious!

I make pizza starting with a cold cast iron pan.

I put plenty of oil in pan then spread dough and all the toppings on it

Then I put it on the stove for 5 minutes - turning the burner on to medium when I put the pan on (this is to get the bottom starting to get warm)

I then put it into a 425 degree oven for about 20 minutes.

Pizza slides right out. Crust is a  little crunchy form the oil...

It is a family favorite.

Just another way to do it..........

Get them cleaned up and start using them.  I really like using CI.

Interesting.  This is the first I have tried to make CI pizza.

I got tired of worrying about my ceramic stone cracking in the Weber, so my wife got me a 15" CI pizza pan for my BD last May.  PERFECT crust, just like above.

I have had this pan for a couple years I was so afraid of the crust sticking that I never tried it. Fear is gone now. Didn't stick anywhere.
 
Adam the CI looks like it was seasoned perfectly,I only have a 12" and thanks for adding to my list

Thanks Richie.   The 12" will work just fine.  This pan I actually need double the dough for my liking.  

Anytime I can add something to someones list, it make me happy.
