Ok, just tried it, it was soo quick and easy. I used the grand biscuits as my deep dish crust and mozzerella and pepperoni. 350 for 20 min and it was pretty good, totally reminded me of the Deep dish we had in Chicago at confrence. Dh even said it was pretty good, esp. considering it was totally impromptu and off the top of my head. Now I want to try the SS pesto one but am afraid to get it all dirty!

oh a little bit of this and that and violllllla! Seriously, I used 1 can of grandbiscuit, buttery flavored (although next time I will use nonbuttered) unless you like a sweeter crust. Took them and split them in 1/2 width wise so they weren't as thick, placed them in the 12" skillet, took the last two and pulled them to pieces to fit in between the gaps around the perimeter, rolled it out with the roller and smoothed the seems and filled in any gaps, then poured however much sauce you want and lots of cheese and loaded it with pepperoni. Bake at 350 for 20-25 min. Done!
VERY QUICK AND EASY! Demos cookware nicely!
Which is really why I wanted to use it instead of stoneware plus it was nice and deep dish style!

I make Pizzas in my grill pan all the time! I use regular dough. I buy the frozen bread dough to keep on hand or you can make some if you have a bred machine or the PC mix is good.
Just grease up the pan and use your immagination. You will want all your ingredients cut and ready to go before you start cooking the dough.
roll out your dough brush both sides w/ EVOO. cook on pan till golden and puffy.
Flip dpugh and add ingredients.
Tastes like an expensive brick oven pizza from a resteraunt!
I use flour tortillas alot too. Mk DD calls them Pizza Quesadillas and LOVES them!
