Haven’t eaten yet. Ima BITCH for pizza! Looks good
I usually do NY style but I am a sucker for a good cast iron thicc pizza. I shred the mozz on first then sauce (crushed Cento with a little salt and basil, uncooked) on top, with freshly grated parm to finish. 475 for 18-20 min
 
Ever tried old fashioned Crisco to coat the pan?
I have tried everything. I find a thin layer of salted butter to be preferable, in a well taken care of pan. I only use cast iron to cook, so it is needless to say that I take care of them. I have cast iron that is over 100 years old.

I don't use it for everything, but it gets used a lot.
Freshly seasoned and ready to go again.

Grew up on this stuff and couldn't find it out west so stumbled on the recipe and the 50/50 Crisco/olive oil for the pan.

It's about 99% of my method.

The state of that pan, frankly, leaves a bit to be desired.
 
This is my "no 1".. you can bring this to heat and cook eggs with no butter, nothing will stick. This is very very old.
