Homemade Pizza Recipes and Pizza Topping Ideas

Easy Homemade Pizza Recipes For Family Pizza Night + Pizza Topping Ideas

Wondering how to make the perfect homemade pizza?

These build your own pizza recipes are a fun way to have a family pizza night where everyone can choose their own toppings!

My family loves pizza, we typically do this for a fun weekend family activity. My kids love having the ability to choose their own toppings and put in on the pizza themselves – even though it is typically just cheese, more cheese and sometimes like three pepperonis that they will pull off later – they have fun and that’s what is important!

They will eat pepperoni’s in their snackle box, but not on their pizza. Weird. 

I guess it’s like I love pickles – but not on my burger? I don’t know… But anyways, back to the pizza!

I like that they have theirs how they like it and I can put exactly what I want on mine. I always like to try new things so I was looking for some fun and unique homemade pizza recipes and pizza topping ideas. I came across so many great recipes!

I have listed the best ones that I found below along with a list of the most popular pizza toppings and sauces.

These pizza recipes don’t require any kind of special equipment, so don’t worry. Anyone can easily make these at home with what they have!

If you want to make your own dough – you definitely can. But I just use the premade dough, it makes things a lot easier and still tastes delicious!
