It’s pizza night, and everyone is asking for their favorite. Unfortunately, no one agrees on a single recipe. How can you please everyone when they all want something different? With pizza, it’s easy. Make individual pizzas. Everyone can pick their own toppings and be pleased with their meal.

 

When you make individual pizzas, everyone can please their own tastes. Your preschooler that won’t eat anything but cheese is happy, as is your teenager that won’t eat anything but Hawaiian. The best part is that you don’t have to suffer through with these choices; you can make your own. Imagine choosing your own toppings without having to consider anyone else’s preferences!

 

Have you even considered what you may want on a pizza if you had the chance? You could try mixing prosciutto with parmesan cheese and arugula or perhaps a simple Margarita pizza. Either way, once you start making individual pizzas, you’ll find it doesn’t take any longer than making larger pizzas, but you get to indulge your own tastes.

 

Prepare everything ahead of time, for ease of your family and for your own sanity. Roll out all the crusts so everyone can make theirs together. Prepare all the toppings and set them on the dining table so everyone can access them easily. This will keep the mess and chaos to a minimum.

 

Everyone can follow their own pizza recipes or just play it by ear. If they like lots of cheese, they can put it on. If they prefer all meat or all veggie, let them go for it. Prepare by making a list of the toppings they want ahead of time so you can have them available. You don’t want to guess and waste money on items they won’t use.

 

It’s true that you can use store bought crusts or flat bread to make a quick pizza, but why would you? They are full of preservatives in order to keep them fresh. Many stores now sell fresh dough or you could actually make it yourself. Just pick a simple pizza dough recipe and go for it. It really is easier than driving to the store, plus it tastes great and there are no preservatives. Make extra to freeze for your next pizza night.

 

Next comes the sauce. Do you just set out a jar of spaghetti sauce and a spoon? Well, you could, but a quick homemade pizza sauce recipe will taste a lot better. A simple sauce only takes a little while to make. Pick up a few tomatoes, some herbs and let the stove do its work. You may want to consider other types of sauce as well. Not every pizza sauce is made from tomatoes. Try a white sauce, simple olive oil or even a plain crust without a sauce. Go ahead and experiment a bit.

 

Try out individual pizzas on your next pizza night. You’ll find it is very convenient and everyone is happy; even you. You’ll save a lot of money making them at home in comparison to taking everyone out. No one has to compromise on toppings and everyone is happy. Cleaning up afterwards is simple. If there are any leftovers, they can be eaten cold or rewarmed in the oven the next morning. You’ll soon hear everyone asking when their next pizza night will be.
