Cheesesteak Pizza – a quick and easy cheesesteak style pizza with a convenient refrigerated pizza crust and roast beef from the deli.

What’s more perfect for a casual Friday night dinner than pizza? Nothing, right?

Friday night pizza has always been a favorite of ours. We enjoy trying new toppings and variations to keep things interesting.

The only problem with Friday night pizza is making the dough. I love making my own pizza dough, but you do have to really plan ahead. The dough has to be mixed and allowed to rise, so there’s a bit of time involved.

What to do if you want a Friday night pizza but there’s no time for making your own dough? You’ve just come home from a long day of work or doing errands or ferrying kids to various activities. A pizza would be the perfect dinner, but no dough. Never fear, I have the answer.

I was asked by General Mills to come up with a Friday night pizza recipe using one of Pillsbury’s refrigerated pizza crusts. These crusts are found in the dairy section of your grocery store along with the refrigerated rolls.

There are several to choose from including this lovely whole grain artisan crust that I used for today’s recipe. You simply unroll the crust, par-bake it for a few minutes, add your toppings and return it to the oven to finish cooking. Easy, peasy. And, here’s the best part, it has a whopping 16 grams of whole grain per serving.

Next time you’re craving a Friday night pizza but don’t have time for a homemade crust, grab one of these Pillsbury pizza crusts and you’re all set.

How to Make Cheesesteak Pizza

To make my cheesesteak pizza, you’ll start by rolling out a Pillsbury artisan pizza crust into a 15×10 inch pan.

Place that in a preheated oven for about 8 minutes or until it’s lightly browned.

While the crust is baking, lightly saute the onions and peppers in a skillet coated with cooking spray.

Prep the deli roast beef by cutting it into wide strips. Make sure to ask the deli to slice the roast very thickly. The thicker the slices, the less it will shrink during the cooking time.

Allow the crust to cool just slightly and then assemble your pizza. Cover the crust with white American cheese, top it with strips of deli roast beef, more white American cheese, and the sauteed veggies.

Pop it back in the oven for a few more minutes to let the cheese melt and the crust become beautifully golden brown. Remove from the oven. Slice and serve.
