Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for 5–7 minutes until foamy.
- Add oil and salt. Slowly mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt.
- Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- This mild sauce is key to the Chuck E Cheese flavor.
Step 3: Shape the Pizza
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a round shape. Place on a lightly greased pizza pan.
- Press the edges slightly thicker to create that soft crust rim.
Step 4: Assemble
- Spread a thin layer of sauce evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese evenly on top.
- Add toppings if using.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is lightly golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
