Flatbread pizzas have a special place on our menu. They’re so easy to make and most of the ingredients are freezer friendly. We’re constantly coming up with new ways to recreate the flavors, and this Philly cheesesteak pizza is by far our favorite. It’s packed with flavor and so incredibly easy to sneak veggies onto!

Made with homemade alfredo, air fryer steak, and fresh grated mozzarella… You just cannot beat these flavors! PS- you can also use chicken in place of steak for a chicken alfredo pizza! Both super delicious and receive a 10/10 rating from my picky eater.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the best Philly cheesesteak pizza, you’ll want to use high-quality ingredients to capture that authentic flavor. Here are the top picks:

Pizza Crust: I like to use flatbread when we are in a rush, but nothing beats a homemade pizza crust. Both are great options for this recipe!
Peppers and Onions: This classic version features thinly sliced steak, sautéed onions, bell peppers, and melted cheese on a crispy pizza crust.
Steak: We found a pre-cooked steak from Costco that is super delicious, and easy, but also love the shredded steak found at Kroger or my Air Fryer Steak Recipe. Make sure the steak is lightly cooked (it will finish in the oven).
Cheese: Here’s the secret… A mix of mozzarella and white American cheddar is king. However, we’ve made this a few times with just mozzarella and it’s still delicious.
Sauce: Alfredo sauce is what I recommend. Store bought for ease or homemade sauce for flavor!

Variations

Making pizza at home can be a fun and interactive experience for the whole family, allowing everyone to get creative with their favorite toppings. It’s also a cost-effective way to enjoy a gourmet-style meal without breaking the bank. Here are a few more fun versions to try!

White Philly Cheesesteak Pizza: Swap out the tomato sauce for a creamy garlic sauce, adding a rich and delicious twist to the traditional recipe.
BBQ Philly Cheesesteak Pizza: Combine the savory goodness of a cheesesteak with the smoky sweetness of BBQ sauce for a unique flavor profile.
Mushroom Swiss Philly Cheesesteak Pizza: Swap out the usual cheese for Swiss and add sautéed mushrooms along with the steak and onions for a rich, earthy flavor.
Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Pizza: Use thinly sliced chicken breast instead of steak, and top with your favorite cheesesteak veggies and cheese. Perfect for a lighter, yet equally delicious, option.

Philly Cheesesteak Pizza Recipe

Prep: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil for easy cleanup and set aside.
Optional, Sauté Veggies: If you want, you can cook your veggies (like onions and bell peppers) in a pan until they are soft. Set them aside for now.
Build the Pizza: Put the flatbread on the foil-lined cookie sheet with the top side facing down. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the flatbread, but leave a 1/2 inch space around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the sauce. If you want, add some white American cheddar cheese for extra flavor. Place thin slices of steak and the cooked veggies on top of the cheese.
Bake: Put the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the flatbread is hot.

Expert Recipe Tips:

Preheat Your Baking Sheet: Place the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats. This helps achieve a crispier flatbread crust.
Thinly Slice the Steak: Slice your steak as thin as possible for even cooking and better texture. Partially freezing the steak before slicing can make this easier.
Season the Alfredo Sauce: Enhance the flavor of your Alfredo sauce by adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or a dash of Worcestershire sauce.
Don’t Overload the Flatbread: Less is more when it comes to toppings. Overloading can make the flatbread soggy and harder to eat.
Experiment with Cheese: While mozzarella is a classic choice, blending it with provolone or white American cheddar can add a delightful depth of flavor.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different type of sauce instead of Alfredo?

Absolutely! While Alfredo sauce adds a creamy richness, you can use a white garlic sauce or even a ranch dressing if you prefer.

What type of steak should I use for this recipe?

Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin works best for Philly cheesesteak pizza. These cuts are tender and flavorful.

Do I have to sauté the veggies first?

Sautéing the veggies first is optional but recommended. It enhances their flavor and ensures they’re fully cooked when the pizza is done baking.

How can I make the flatbread crispier?

Preheat your baking sheet in the oven before placing the flatbread on it. This helps to crisp up the bottom. Also, avoid overloading with toppings to prevent sogginess.

What cheese works best for this pizza?

Mozzarella is a great base cheese for its melting qualities. Adding white American cheddar or provolone can enhance the flavor.
