Homemade Pizza!

Let's talk about how heavenly pizza is. The possibilities for pizza are endless and that's why I would put pizza on my list of 'Top 5 Favorite Foods'. Even better than just regular pizza? Making "homemade" pizza. Not only is it fun to do, but I love the different combinations you can come up with. Making pizzas are incredibly easy and also a great thing for kids to take part in! Last night I made two kinds; Pesto Spinach Artichoke and Buffalo BBQ Chicken.
Ingredients:

Pesto Artichoke Spinach Pizza
-One crust
-Parmesan cheese
-Pesto (I used store bought but you could use homemade if you like it better)
-Artichokes

Buffalo BBQ Chicken Pizza
-One crust
-Fully cooked shredded chicken.
-Buffalo sauce
-BBQ sauce
-Pizza cheese

For the Pesto Artichoke Spinach pizza I lightly brushed the crust with olive oil. Then I spread an even amount of pesto on the crust, followed by a few handfuls of spinach, artichokes, and a few handfuls of parmesan cheese. It's as simple as that people! 

Next I did the Buffalo Chicken Pizza. I had leftover buffalo chicken from appetizers I made the night before. However, it doesn't take much to make the chicken. Cook up the chicken, shred it, and toss it in buffalo sauce. There you have it. For this pizza, I also brushed the crust with olive oil. I then spread BBQ sauce on the crusted, spread the buffalo chicken around evenly, and topped it off with a few handfuls of cheese. 

I baked each of these in the oven at 425 degrees for about 10 mins. 10 MINS PEOPLE! 




I promise you all, there is no easier dinner! And the best part? It's about what YOU like! Don't like spinach? Don't use it. Want less cheese? By all means don't use so much cheese!!

    Those pizzas seriously look delicious! I would never think to do BBQ and buffalo together, but it sounds so yummy. I like to put pineapples on my BBQ chicken pizza! Next time I'll have to add some buffalo sauce too :-)

    Yum! I grew up in NY, so once I moved to NC, I started making my own pizza bc NCs pizza is horrrrrrrible in comparison. I always make my own dough bc it's pretty simple. My favorite is a white pizza with ricotta instead of sauce and chicken & broccoli on top. I also make a banging chicken parm!
