Tips & Notes
Pro tips
- Fry onions until deep golden and crispy before adding to the cheesesteak to maintain texture contrast
- Use a puffy, high-hydration pizza dough and allow proper fermentation to achieve the characteristic airy crust
- Cook cheesesteak on a hot griddle or flattop at high heat to achieve proper cheese melt and meat browning
- Top pizza immediately after sauce application to prevent sogginess while maintaining crust structure
Substitutions
- Provolone → Cheez Whiz (traditional Philadelphia style alternative)
- Fresh onions → Caramelized onions (deeper sweetness, different texture)
Equipment
