While the oven and skillet preheat, prepare the pizza dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the store-bought pizza dough into a circle larger than your cast iron skillet (approximately 12-14 inches in diameter). Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese over the dough and gently roll it in to incorporate.
