Stretch/roll out the pizza dough to make a pizza ~12 inches in diameter. Make sure there is a prominent border around the edge to contain the water when the ice melts.
If you use a pizza pan, add thin coat of olive oil.
If using a pizza peel, flour the peel so the dough won't stick.
Transfer the dough to the pan/peel.

Distribute the broken/small ice cubes across the pizza and inside the border.
