Start by making the pizza dough. When rested and done, roll out and place in deep dish pie pan. Cut around the edges with a knife like a pie crust. With a fork or pizza pitter and place in a 450°F oven for 8 minutes to par bake the dough.
While the crust is in the oven, add 8 meatballs (or more if you’d like), cut in half and 1 cup of pizza/pasta sauce to a pan and allow to heat up.
Remove crust from the oven and add toppings.
Add a bit more shredded cheese and do the final bake.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 8-10 minutes so the contents set and it makes cutting into pieces so much easier.
