9 Cheater’s Pizza Recipes That Taste Like They Were Made in a Wood-Fired Oven

Pizza, how we love thee. But it takes practice (and a load of special equipment) to make quality ’za at home. That’s where these easy-as-pie recipes come in. They start with premade flatbread or dough and bake on a sheet tray or skillet instead of a pizza stone. The gorgeous results taste exactly like they were made in a wood-fired oven.
