I imagine it’s easier to do with a cake since it would go into liquid batter, but you could probably put it down before the pizza dough

This looks like the oven wasn’t fully preheated when you put it in.
I know mine never reaches temperature during the 10 to 15 minute preheat cycle. I use a second independent thermometer to make sure I’m at the right temp

Well you’re supposed to make the pizza in a cast iron pan if you’re making the pan pizza recipe, so maybe start with that …

Try a few things and see what works best: cook at a lower temperature. Use less sauce. Use less water in the dough. Use a smaller pan and make two pizzas. Turn off the oven when you cook it so it cooks with residual heat rather than active heat like a cheesecake.

I only got it to cook right in my oven by putting the pan on a pizza stone or steel. I’ve also seen people put the pan directly on the floor of the oven, but that only works in a gas oven.

This is a Sicilian pizza not a pan pizza but I get down votes. I hate fucking redditors

I never use shredded cheese for this type of pizza, get a block of mozzarella and cube it. This helps the cheese melt without getting too done before the crust. I do mine at 475F for 25-30 minutes.

Throw it on a stove burner for a bit.
I’ve tried a trick for baking cakes where the center won’t bake as fast as the outside would. The trick is to put a [flower nail](https://wilton.com/stainless-steel-no-7-flower-nail/191005718/) in the center of the cake.
