A New Twist on Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

What happens when you take a Philly Cheesesteak and put it on a pizza? You get all the same savory, meaty, cheesy goodness on a light and crispy dough, plus a few extra touches. The cheesesteak, of course, has some key elements: chopped or sliced griddle-fried beef, melted cheese (Whiz, provolone, or American) and optional fried onions, all served on a crusty roll. 

For our homage to the beloved culinary icon and Philadelphia’s most famous food, we’ve taken the essence of the original and added some new twists: sautéed bell peppers, crème fraîche, mozzarella and Parmesan. The result is filling and plenty flavorful, just like the original.

This pizza is perfect for any occasion – including tailgating season – where hearty and flavorful food is a must. A Philly cheesesteak pizza is a crowd-pleasing option that brings together two beloved dishes into one satisfying meal and is a sure-fire guarantee that no guest will go home hungry.

Note

This recipe would suit a variety of pizza styles, but we think our classic pizza dough works well – just make sure to prep your dough at least 4 hours ahead of time to ensure it rises at room temperature before firing up your oven.
