I’ve made a fair amount of pizza in my cast iron, and it took some trial and error to get the pizza to not stick.
Either preheat the pan fully before adding the oil or fat and (carefully) drop in the dough, or use a generous amount of butter and shape the dough in a cold pan.
When spreading toppings, cheese along the edge is fine, but try not to get much sauce on the sides of the pan. That will burn and eat away at the seasoning more.
My pan doesn’t have great seasoning, though - I mostly just use it for pizza every other week or so.
