Hi ELW I didn't know his about Pizza Hut, do you know how long they fry their base for? I've never even thought of that. I do love pizza and have tried blind baking the dough to creat a deep pan style base, it works but the problem is uneven rise which then makes the toppings slide into each other.
Maybe frying the base would make it rise from the bottom, keeping the top more level? Not sure I have a pan big enough for my preferred mega size pizza base though 
Hi Sverige,
Its just plenty oil in the pan. Whats your method for pan?
I do:
14 inch pan, 100ml of vegetable oil in the pan.
Roll your dough out over the pan. Little bit of oil round the crust
Let the dough rise up to the edge of the pan
Cover & stick in the fridge 4hrs - 24 which stops the rise
Let it come up to room temperature
Add topping - not too many extras
preheat oven & unglazed quarry tiles or pizza stone for 30 min bare minimum(1hr if poss)
Bake at 450 - 475 for about 13 - 15 mins, in the pan ...on top of the stone
Let the oven temp get back up before doing another one
Makes greasy slightly fried pizza hut pan pizza's....smashin
There's a good few ph methods/recipes on the web
Not done pizza for a while
Regards
ELW
Edit - re the toppings sliding...a few indentations in the dough (finger docking)prior to baking should sort that , maybe lift the dough slightly before baking
