Sometimes you want pizza on the fly, and if you have a few key ingredients in the house, you can have it on the table in about an hour, start to finish. My quick no rise pizza dough has seasonings in the dough for that extra bam! of flavor. I suggest preheating the oven when you start the dough, at about 475-500 degrees. A hot oven makes for a crisp and quick pizza. I placed my cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats to get it nice and hot. Watch your pizza closely while baking, as the high heat will cook it quickly. You could also throw this on the grill in the cast iron skillet or a grill safe pizza pan.
This recipe will make one large pizza or up to three small/individual pizzas. You can freeze any leftover dough already shaped into pizza crusts or as one big piece of dough in a freezer proof bag or container for up to six months. Just thaw out before cooking. Top with your favorite toppings, and it can be pizza night any night of the week. Need some pizza recipes? I have you covered here and here.
- One packet of active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water about 100 degrees
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2½ cups flour (bread or all purpose, whole wheat would work as well)
- 2 tsp pizza seasoning
- 2 T olive oil
- pinch of salt
- Place yeast, water and sugar into a stand mixer bowl attached with the dough hook and let proof for 10 minutes
- Put mixer on low speed, adding remaining ingredients and let rest for 10 minutes once dough comes together
- Top with your favorite toppings (I always add a bit more pizza seasoning and drizzle some olive oil on top right before cooking. Cook until done to desired brownness. Eat and enjoy!
Funnily enough, I am making pizza today! I am home all day today so I have time to do a traditional crust with a long rise (heck, I’m even making the sauce from scratch), but I will definitely keep this recipe on file. There’s been a time or two where I haven’t been able to make pizza as originally planned because I completely forgot and didn’t have enough time to make it anymore! Thanks!
While I love all day rising pizza dough, I know for many people it’s not possible. I also love to make from scratch pizza sauce. I like having the option of throwing together a pizza for dinner last minute. Happy pizza making!
This looks insanely easy, and I have the worst luck using yeast, but I’m going to give this a try.
Great recipe! I’ve been needing to make some homemade pizza so I bookmarked the recipe. Thanks!
I love this idea. Really who has an excuse to not do this. Great tips and recipe!

I’ve never thought of using a cast iron skillet to cook a pizza in the oven. I’ll be giving that a try. Thanks for the recipe.
This sounds very very tasty! I hate waiting for dough to rise! Pinned
Looks so yummy. There is nothing like the smell of dough in the oven. Easy enough recipe. Love this.
I’ve never tried making pizza on my own but I think you just may have convinced me! This looks delicious!
It’s so easy, and so delicious!
We love to make pizza but normally buy the store bought one (because it’s quick). I’m trying this recipe!

Clicked on Pizza seasoning but didn’t give me the ingredients? Could you give it to me, please? Thanks
It’s actually a spice you buy at Penzey’s spice store.
I love how easy this easy! I might add some fresh garlic too, but I’m a garlic fanatic!
I’m pinning this for later! I plan to make some pizza this weekend!
I have always wanted to make my own pizza dough, sounds easy enjoy! My kids would love this recipe.
Easy and fast. Suits everyone.
Homemade pizza dough is the best! I love your recipe - nice and simple.
thanks Robin! Come back and let me know how it works for you if you use it
So easy and yummy. Will have to make it.
That looks amazing. I’ve never tried to make pizza crust on my own but I think I could do it!
Yummy we love homemade pizza and this recipe will come in handy!
I actually just wanted to make pizza the other day but all the recipes I found online were so complicated and time consuming! Too bad I didn’t see this recipe a few days ago 😀
wow, that seriously looks delicious and I love homemade pizza… this is great recipe!
I love this for the nights when I haven’t planned ahead … just pinned it.
I generally love rising pizza but I sometimes crave for no rise pizza. This looks very delicious and I would like to have one right now.
Oooo, this looks delicious! I just made gluten free pizza dough tonight for my mom that has celiac disease. I will the this recipe for my family soon. It looks great!
I’ve been wanting to get a good pizza dough recipe to pin and keep for reference! This is just what I need! Thanks so much! Pinning!
This looks so good! There is nothing like homemade pizza!
Sounds easy enough and better than frozen!
This is the recipe for me and there is nothing better than homemade pizza!
Is it the olive oil that makes it brown up so nice like that? It sure does look delicious!
Yes, the high heat and olive oil make the pizza brown up!
I’ve made pizza dough in the bread maker but this sounds faster. I don’t have a stand mixer though.
You can knead by hand, just make sure to have lots of flour on standby!
I’m loving any pizza recipe that hits my plate the fastest. Thanks, Jenelle!
This looks really good. I rarely make dough as I do not have the patience waiting for it to rise, Thanks for sharing.
I love the idea of having some baked and frozen for later. Your recipe sounds so tasty.
I make pizza like 5 times a month. lol. Thanks for this easy recipe.
The mere sight of the pizza you have made makes me want to run to the nearest pizza chain and grab me one.
I love pizzas! I make one too but with the ready made pizza dough as I’m such a kitchen-klutz. I top mine with marinara sauce instead of the usual tomato sauce for the added flavor. I sometimes use feta cheese cubes instead of the usual mozzarella. Yum! Now I’m hungry! 
Your pizza sounds good!
What perfect timing! I was actually going to try my hand at homemade pizza dough soon and stumbled across this!
We’ve never tried no-rise pizza dough! Interesting!
Oh this looks super yummy and pretty easy to make. I have never tried my hand at homemade pizza dough, but it’s on my list
I’ve never made homemade pizza dough before, but this looks and sounds delicious!!
Great Recipe, Its high time having the same pizza.. lets try some no rise pizza dough Pizzas
Looks easy enough to do but I’m sure if I try it I would mess it up. Thanks for sharing and I may give it a try.
I love pizza!!!!!!!!!! I super love pizza, I had some today for lunch. Thank you for sharing this recipe because there are times in the middle of the night or on a rainy Sunday when I am in dire need of a pizza and why not make my own : )
exactly! and i know what you mean, i love pizza that much too
Cast iron is my favorite way to make pizza! Actually, it’s my favorite way to cook period lol
i totally agree!
I love homemade pizza! This looks fabulous!
We love homemade pizza and not having to wait for the dough to rise is awesome!
This looks like the perfect crust recipe! Pinned!
That’s a great tip about the cast iron skillet for the crust. My dough recipe works better for a thinner crust. I look forward to trying this one for a thicker crust. Yum! Thanks
I always leave the pizza making up to the other half. This looks great and easy!
This looks super easy! I have a dough recipe I love but it takes forever to make and I usually forget to start it on time. Will definitely be using this tonight or tomorrow for some BBQ chicken pizza. Found your site via Connections for Blog Growth group and I really like it! All your recipes look simply amazing!!
thanks Sydney!
