11. Rest, Remove, and Serve
Remove the pan from the oven, allow it to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, and then use an offset spatula to pull the dough and cheese away from the sides of the skillet. This will allow some of the steam to escape and help keep the crust crispy. Allow the pizza to cool for another 5 minutes, then transfer the whole thing to a cutting board, slice, serve, and enjoy. (I know it’s cooler to serve it straight from the cast iron but if you leave it in there, you’ll end up with a soggy crust.)
