  • 1 tablespoon pizza seasoning
  • 1 tablespoons  olive oil
  • 12 ounces grated pizza cheese
  • 3/4 cup  pizza sauce
  • Toppings 
  • Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 450°F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook, breaking them apart with tongs, until flexible but not completely softened, about 2 minutes. Drain carefully.
  • Heat olive oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Reduce heat to low. Add noodles and press with the bottom of a spatula into an even later that completely covers the bottom of the skillet. 
  • Spread half of cheese evenly over noodles and allow to melt in oven. Spread sauce, going all the way to the edge of the pan. Spread remaining cheese on top. Top pizza as desired, adding some cheese to top, then place in oven. Bake until top is browned and bubbly, about 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then use a thin metal spatula to loosen edges from skillet. 
  • Rest for 3-5 minutes. Carefully slide pizza out onto cutting board, slice, and serve immediately.
