Where I live in New York, we’re crazy about Grandma’s pizza. It’s a style of pizza that’s cut into squares (sort of like Sicilian, but typically with a thinner crust) and piled high with whatever toppings you’d like. My homemade spin starts with a protein- and fiber-packed crust, then gets topped with sauce, melty cheese, and all your favorite veggies—proving that it’s hip to be square. The veggies are optional, but they’re a must-have in my house. (The price slice is right!)

Why you’ll love this recipe:

  • No special equipment required: Just a regular sheet pan!
  • Quick and easy: Ready in about 40 minutes.
  • Highly customizable: Make one big pizza with different sections for everyone’s favorite toppings.
  • Perfect for meal prep: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge or freezer, and reheat beautifully in the oven or air fryer.

Unlike traditional pizza dough, my homemade crust is made with Greek yogurt, giving it a boost of protein and creaminess while keeping things incredibly simple—no yeast, no rising time, no fuss! Just mix, knead, and you’re ready to rock and roll. It bakes up beautifully with the perfect balance of sturdy and chewy, ensuring it holds up to all your favorite toppings without getting soggy. This dough is my secret weapon for everything from bagels, personal pizzas, to jumbo pretzels—I simply tweak the seasonings to match the recipe. It’s wholesome, foolproof, and ridiculously easy, making it a total staple in my kitchen!

Step 1: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Add the yogurt and mix until all the ingredients are incorporated into a batter. 
Step 2: Knead the dough with clean hands until it’s dry and elastic.
Step 3: Add the dough to a prepared baking sheet. Keep pressing and pushing the dough and spread it out evenly.
Step 4: Bake in oven for about 15 minutes for a firm pizza crust (10 minutes for chewier, soft crust).

Using premade dough: If you’d like to use store-bought dough (and skip making your own crust), look for premade dough in the refrigerator section of your market. It can be standard, whole wheat or gluten-free, depending on your dietary needs. You’ll need a 28 to 35-ounce package to fill a standard half sheet pan (which is 18 x 13 inches). In my area, most premade dough balls are sold in 28-ounce packages, and if you let it soften at room temperature, you’ll be able to stretch it to cover the full sheet. Check out the recipe notes for more details on this shortcut!

Step 5: Spread the sauce over dough, leaving about ¼ inch along the outside for the crust.
Step 6: Top with optional veggies, shredded cheese, and preferred seasonings.
Step 7: Place back in oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

My favorite way to top this pizza is with heaps of sautéed or roasted veggies—a great way to use up leftovers while adding tons of color, texture, and nutrition. I love loading it up with peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and even broccoli. Big bonus if I have butternut squash in the house!

But when it comes to toppings, everyone has different preferences and you’re the boss. Keep it classic with marinara, melty mozzarella, and a sprinkle of oregano and red pepper flakes, or take it in all sorts of fun directions.  

Here’s a few of my other pizza creation for inspiration: a BBQ chicken spin, a BLT-inspired combo, or a creamy spinach-artichoke twist. However you top it, this pizza delivers a crispy crust, gooey cheese, and big, delicious bites in every square.

Ingredients
 

  • 3 cups white whole wheat flour*
  • 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 cups non-fat plain Greek yogurt**
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
  • 1 ½ to 2 cups part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups sautéed or roasted veggies of choice, optional***
  • Optional seasonings: oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic, basil, for garnish
Ingredient Details to Know
*Standard all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and 1:1 gluten-free flour can be swapped in. 
**Pour off liquid (or mix it in) before measuring.
***Use any combo you love such as onions, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peppers, mushrooms. Just make sure the veggies are pre-cooked before adding on your pizza. Roasted or pan-sautéed veggies work great. It’s a great way to use any leftovers in your fridge!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Line a half-size baking sheet (~18 x 13) with parchment paper and mist the paper with nonstick oil spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Add the yogurt and mix until all the ingredients are incorporated into a batter. Knead the dough with clean hands until it’s dry and elastic— it will be all crumbly at first but keep working the dough and it will come together in about 1 minute (I promise!).
  • Add the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Keep pressing and pushing the dough and spread it out evenly. If it becomes too sticky to spread on pan, simply dust flour over the top and on your hands. Bake in oven for about 15 minutes for a firm pizza crust (10 mins for chewier, soft crust).
  • Spread the sauce over dough, leaving about ¼ inch along the outside for the crust. Top with optional veggies, shredded cheese, and preferred seasonings. Place back in oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Garnish with optional fresh basil leaves. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

Store-Bought Pizza Dough Shortcut:
To keep things easy, you can absolutely use store-bought pizza dough instead of making the homemade crust. Look for it in the refrigerated section of your grocery store—regular, whole wheat, or gluten-free all work, depending on your needs.
For a standard half sheet pan (18 x 13 inches), you’ll need 28 to 35 ounces of dough. In my area, most premade dough balls come in 28-ounce packages. Use 28 ounces for a thinner crust, or about 35 ounces for a thicker, more Sicilian-style crust (usually 1¼ to 1½ packages to cover the full pan).
Before stretching it out, let the dough sit at room temperature until it softens—this makes it much easier to work with. If it springs back or resists stretching, just let it rest a little longer and try again.
If you’re using a quarter sheet pan (9 x 13 inches) instead, you’ll need half as much dough.
