Universal Pizza Crust Seasoning Blend

Yes! 🙌 Here’s a universal pizza crust seasoning blend that works beautifully on any style of pizza crust — almost like a homemade version of those Club House or pizzeria-style shakers.


🍕 Universal Pizza Crust Seasoning Blend

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated, shelf-stable style works best in blends)
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a mild kick)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Mix everything together and store in an airtight shaker jar.
  2. To use: Brush pizza crust with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle generously before baking.
  3. Optional: Dust again right after baking for extra flavor.

👉 This gives a savory, garlicky, herby, cheesy punch—like what you’d expect from a pizza shop.

Would you like me to also make a non-cheese version (just herbs & spices), in case you want one that stores longer in the pantry?


Got it! Here’s a long-shelf-life, non-cheese pizza crust seasoning blend that you can keep in the pantry and use on any pizza crust (or even breadsticks, garlic bread, focaccia, etc.).


🍕 Universal Pizza Crust Seasoning (Cheese-Free Version)

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (or sea salt flakes)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (adds warmth + color)

Instructions:

  1. Mix all ingredients and store in a sealed spice jar or shaker.
  2. To use: Brush pizza crust with olive oil or melted butter, sprinkle generously before baking.
  3. For a stronger kick, dust a little more on right after the pizza comes out of the oven.

👉 This version is savory, herby, aromatic, and versatile—and will stay good for months in your spice cabinet.
