Philly Cheesesteak Pizza layers tender steak, golden onions and bell peppers, creamy Alfredo sauce, and provolone over a simple homemade crust. Worcestershire, garlic, and paprika reinforce the savory filling without replacing the familiar cheesesteak character.

The dough rises for 1 hour before assembly. The listed timing is 10 minutes preparation, 12 minutes cooking, and 22 minutes total, with the separate rise planned ahead. One pizza yields 8 slices.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • Pizza Dough

  • Philly Steak Topping

  • Pizza Assembly

How to Make It

1.

1. Make Pizza Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, garlic salt, sugar, and yeast. Slowly add lukewarm water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead by hand for 1 minute until smooth.

2.

2. Let Dough Rise: Form dough into a ball. Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate bowl, transfer dough to oiled bowl, and cover with a paper towel. Let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

3.

3. Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add steak strips, minced garlic, diced onions, and bell peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, until steak is well-done and vegetables are golden and tender.

4.

4. Season the Mixture: Add Worcestershire sauce to the steak and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes until flavors meld. Remove from heat.

5.

5. Prep for Assembly: Preheat oven to 450°F. Roll out the risen pizza dough on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet to your desired thickness.

6.

6. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread Alfredo sauce evenly over the pizza dough surface. Layer half of the provolone cheese slices over the sauce.

7.

7. Top with Steak: Distribute the cooked steak and vegetable mixture evenly over the cheese. Top with remaining provolone cheese slices.

8.

8. Bake Until Golden: Sprinkle the entire pizza with paprika. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.

9.

9. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Cut into 8 pieces and serve hot while the cheese is still gooey.

  2. Make sure yeast is fresh for best dough rising
