      No, you do not let the dough before making the pizzas. Just let it thaw and then you can work with it.

      You should be able to freeze the Deep Dish Pizzas, after baking and then reheat them. Enjoy!

          The “bake time” is at the top of the recipe. Bake the Deep Dish Pizzas for 20-25 minutes.
