Perfect 10 Inch Pizza Recipe from Scratch
A 10-inch pizza is the ideal personal pizza size — large enough to satisfy but small enough to cook quickly and customize exactly how you like it. This recipe uses a quick no-fail pizza dough that puffs up beautifully and gets wonderfully crispy in a hot oven.
Making the 10 Inch Pizza Dough
For one 10-inch pizza, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp instant yeast, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/3 cup warm water, and 1 tsp olive oil. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Let rest 30–60 minutes. Roll into a 10-inch circle. For extra crispiness, preheat your baking sheet or pizza stone in a 500°F oven before placing the dough.
How Many Slices is a 10 Inch Pizza?
A 10-inch pizza typically yields 4–6 slices and serves 1–2 people. It is the standard size for a personal pizza at most pizza shops. A 10-inch round pizza has approximately 78 square inches of surface area, making it substantially smaller than a 12-inch (113 sq in) or 14-inch (154 sq in) pizza.

Low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella melts best and gives that classic pizza cheese pull. Blend with provolone for extra flavor.
