30 Best Pizza Recipes

Don't order delivery when you're craving pizza night! These homemade recipes will appeal to both classic cheese pizza lovers and those who appreciate new and unusual combinations.

Pizza "Neapolitano"

Traditional Neapolitan pizza consists of just five simple yet high-quality ingredients, which determine its entire flavor. These include a yeast dough base, a sauce made from ripe San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh fragrant basil, and extra-virgin olive oil—the essential ingredients of Italian cuisine. The pizza will be even more delicious if you refrigerate the yeast dough to let it rise slowly overnight. And for an extra-crisp crust, stretch the dough on a surface dusted with cornmeal.

Braided pizza

Rolled bread, soaked in tomato sauce with chunks of pepperoni and mozzarella, is infused with all the flavors of the popular pepperoni pizza. A great solution if you want to impress guests and offer them a familiar appetizer in a unique form.

Pizza base – basic recipe

This recipe yields thin, deliciously crisp pizza dough (450 g) for four servings. They can be used immediately or individually wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen. If you choose to freeze the dough, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator, then let it come to room temperature before stretching or rolling. Use a variety of pizza toppings with this dough. The simplest option is tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, and fresh basil for a classic Margherita.

Pizza sides with filling

If your favorite thing about stuffed pizza is the stuffed crust, make it your own! Ree Drummond suggests going beyond just cheese and filling it with all the pizza toppings: sauce, pepperoni, and three types of cheese. Serve with fresh tomatoes and homemade arrabbiata sauce.

Pizza Bianca

Deep-fried pizza buns

These unique miniature buns are made with wonton dough and filled with all your favorite pizza ingredients: fried Italian sausage, pepperoni, tomato sauce, and lots of melty cheese! These mini buns are deep-fried, crispy on the inside, and bursting with the flavor of Italian pizza. Kids will love these treats, and they're also perfect as appetizers at a house party. Serve them hot, dip them in pizza sauce, and enjoy!

Pizza Margherita

You can't go wrong with a classic pizza like this Neapolitan-style pizza. With tangy-sweet San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil, it's easy to see why this pie is always a crowd favorite.

Cheeseburger Pizza

Like a classic cheeseburger, this pizza features ground beef drizzled with mustard, a bubbly layer of melted cheese, and topped with fresh red onions and pickles. They also included a "sesame bun": the pizza's edge is sprinkled with sesame seeds before baking. Serve with shredded lettuce to fully appreciate the cheeseburger's flavor.

Pizza with basil pesto

A vibrant vegetarian pizza infused with Mediterranean flavors. We use store-bought pizza crusts, but you can use your favorite pizza dough for the crust. Each crust is generously spread with homemade basil pesto and topped with caramelized onions, which imbue the pizza with a tangy sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the refreshing basil. The pizza is then topped with tomato slices, roasted black olives, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. For crispy edges, brush them with olive oil before baking.

Pizza "Pronto"

Want a quick and delicious pizza but don't have ready-made dough or time to mix it? A simple round focaccia will do the trick! Cut it in half horizontally to create two perfect pizza crusts. This pizza requires no fresh vegetables; it's made entirely from pantry staples. You'll need jarred marinara sauce, canned olives (both black and green), dry-cured sausage, pesto sauce, marinated peppers and artichokes, and cheese. Arrange all the toppings on the pizza crusts and bake until the cheese melts and the edges crisp up.
