Are you tired of the same old pizza recipe with bland toppings and boring flavors? Make your neighbors envious by keeping your pizza options unique and fresh. Even the pizza places near you will be jealous! Below are some ideas on how to switch up your pizza game to something a little more outside of the box.
Dessert Pizza
Dessert pizza is exactly what it sounds like: sweet toppings and ingredients instead of your usual savory ones. An easy dessert pizza recipe to try is fruit pizza (it is not too healthy, we promise). You can make this by getting a tube of sugar cookie dough at your grocery store and rolling it out into a flat circle and baking it. This will be your crust. Next, you spread a mixture of cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, onto the crust like a sauce. Lastly, top the pizza with your favorite fruits and voila! You have a scrumptious dessert pizza!
“Naan”- Traditional Pizza Pie
Naan is a healthier alternative for traditional pizza crust, so if you are looking for a more health-conscious way to enjoy a pie, look no further. You can use store-bought naan, which also means less prep time. Still not loving the idea of giving up that classic crust? Try spreading pesto onto the naan as your sauce, adding shredded mozzarella and spinach, and sprinkling it with spicy red pepper flakes after it comes out of the oven. It will be hard to deny how wonderful the flavors are and how easy the preparation is.
The Mac N Cheese Pizza
The kiddos will love this one! A macaroni and cheese pizza is simply your usual pizza dough — but with mac n cheese on top instead of your standard cheese or pepperoni. It is prepared by cooking boxed macaroni as per the instructions, and then dumping it out onto a partially baked crust. Next, you sprinkle on a couple more types of cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, you name it) and throw it back in the oven to get that ooey gooey cheesy goodness all melted. You might be taking this in with a bit of skepticism, but you’ll thank us after you’ve tried this delicious take on pizza.
The “No-Bake” Pizza — Literally.
Sometimes, you get tired of cooking. From constant shopping trips to meal prep, you are burnt out from being in the kitchen — and that is okay. Your local iT’Z is home to an endless pizza buffet that is sure to please the whole family! Plan a fun outing to iT’Z this season so that the kids can get their wiggles out and you can pig out on some delicious food at a pizza place near you instead of slaving away over your stove at home (your dishwasher will thank you too!).
Whether you pick a sweet treat, a healthier alternative, a carb overload, or a day out at a pizza place near you, remember to include your whole family! Have the kids help roll dough, place toppings, or — if you choose the “No-Bake” option, the whole family can run wild in a sea of arcade games and other fun activities after enjoying some delicious pizza.
