Skillet Sausage and Mushroom Pizza, made in a cast iron skillet which makes for a soft chewy crust and then topped with sausage, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese.
Skillet sausage and mushroom pizza is easy to make and doesn’t take much time at all before it is ready to eat.
I have have been making homemade pizza for most of my life. As a kid my mom would buy a box that had the ingredients for the crust and pizza sauce, you added your own toppings. I don’t even know if these exist anymore.
After a while, we evolved into making the pizza crust from scratch and making our own sauce for the pizza. (Actually, it is spaghetti sauce that I can every year, but it works well for the pizza.
Don’t worry though you can buy your pizza sauce, I would suggest using the recipe for the pizza crust, it is perfect for a 10-inch skillet.
The perfect thing about pizza is you can top it with whatever topping you love.
Other topping combinations for homemade pizza:
- Italian sausage and pepperoni
- Caramelized onions and mushrooms
- Loads of your favorite vegetables

I’m just catching up on my favorite blogs after our vacation, and I’m glad I stopped by this post! I love a good pizza, and making homemade dough is a game changer. This pizza looks amazing, Dawn!
That thick crispy crusted pizza looks great. BTW, I can’t see your complete post. It appears that perhaps the divided left side is too wide so that your right margin disappears off the computer. I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem but I thought I might mention it.
Thank you Karen I haven’t had anyone mention this. I will check it out.
