Looks good for an early attempt, OP. Some more sauce coverage (as has already been discussed) and you'll really be in business.

Protip: try spreading the cheese over the entire thing, out to the very edge of the pan. It'll brown on the edges and the taste/texture is god-tier.

This is my method, OP:

I make some pizza dough using this recipe:

You can also look around elsewhere on that site; they have a whole guide. I usually use all the dough because my grill will want a pizza, too.

I, however, buy a big block of cheap store-brand mozzarella. Cut it into smaller, 1.5 oz blocks and freeze. When I want pizza I just thaw it in the microwave, takes like 20 seconds.

I buy some pretty cheap pizza sauce from the store, it's like $2/jar. Brand name is "Mid's."

I put some olive oil in my cast iron skillet, spread the dough out. Add 2 tablespoons of sauce and spread it out. Hit it with a little crushed red pepper I got from the asian market. Spread grated cheese over that. Add whatever toppings I have, usually some cheap pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, spinach. Throw it all in a 500F oven for 8-10 minutes. Take it out and check the bottom. If it's done, slice it up and eat. If not, put the skillet on the stove and cook it a little bit until the bottom is crispy.

It's not fancy or anything, but it is cheap and tastes well enough to me. I plan to start making large batches of my own sauce soon so I can store it and use it whenever.

Another picture. Cost is pretty low. I'd estimate:

$0.20 of flour
$0.10 of yeast
$0.20 of olive oil
$0.80 of cheese
$0.50 of sauce

And then toppings change based on just what I have in my fridge. Almost always includes onions, pepperoni, and spinach though. Probably brings total cost per pie to somewhere around $3. And yes, I buy premade sauce, because pizza is usually something I throw together quick because I haven't gone to the grocery store recently.

Protip: buy big blocks of mozarella, cut it into smaller blocks and freeze it.

I use mine for meat and sometimes I bake in it, depending on what I am baking. Also pizza, which I guess faulls under the baking part.

Here's my first crack at a pan pizza:
