Fun pizza recipes for every day

These creative, inventive pizza recipes will allow you to indulge as much as you like and never get bored.

Fried Egg, Ricotta, and Pesto Breakfast Pizza

A fried egg topping makes these individual pizzas perfect for Sunday brunch. Homemade zucchini-basil-almond pesto imbues them with a delicious freshness, while smoked ricotta and chili flakes add a zesty twist that makes your breakfast special.

Pizza with sausage and cheese (pizza rolls) in a frying pan

Ree Drummond makes this appetizer using the same technique as her famous cinnamon rolls, but instead of a sweet filling, it's filled with all the goodies we love about Italian pizza: tomato sauce, a little pesto, pepperoni, olives, and lots of gooey cheese.

Pizza with sausage in cones

This cone-shaped pizza will delight both children and adults. It's perfect for ice cream and on-the-go. The base is a wheat tortilla, which is rolled into a cone and baked until crispy. You can make this in advance, and just before serving, fill the cone with pizza toppings, bake briefly to melt the cheese, and enjoy! To make it, you'll need ice cream cones, which act as molds to ensure the tortilla cones are perfectly formed.

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.

Detroit-style pizza

Detroit-style pizza is distinguished from other pizzas by its fluffy crust and crispy, cheesy edges. Toppings typically include cheese, pepperoni, and tomato sauce, which is added after the pizza is cooked and the cheese has baked onto the surface. Detroit-style pizza has always been baked in a rectangular or square pan since it was first made in Detroit in the 1940s. This stems from the fact that during the city's industrial heyday, pizzerias used car parts trays as pans. Although the selection of pans is vast, traditionally, Detroit-style pizza is baked in a rectangular pan.

Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna "Pizzagna"

Take two favorite Italian dishes (pizza and lasagna!) and combine them for something even more impressive.

Pizza with cheese and black pepper "Cacio e pepe"

The cheesy and peppery flavor pairs perfectly with Italian pasta and pizza dough. This recipe is one you'll want to make again and again.

Upside-down pizza

This pizza is made pot pie-style. Cheese and meat sauce are layered in a pan, which is then covered with a layer of dough like a lid and placed in the oven. Invert the finished pot pie onto a serving plate, remove the pan, and voila! You've got a delicious, deep-dish pizza with crispy edges and a generous helping of gooey cheese. For this recipe, you'll need a 1-liter, 15-cm diameter ramekin.

Pizza on chickpea dough

This gluten-free pizza is perfect for parties, as the crust can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving. Cut it into small pieces and serve as an appetizer. This pizza recipe uses the most popular toppings: mozzarella, Parmesan, tomatoes, and basil. But you can change the ingredients depending on what you have on hand. Salted olives, capers, or anchovies would be especially delicious.

Meatball Pizza

The edges of this pizza are topped with delicious ground beef meatballs. Besides the meat, the meatballs also include bacon, Parmesan, and aromatic spices. Served this way, you're sure to get every last bite. You can bake the meatballs ahead of time, so the pizza won't take long to prepare. The center is topped with a delicious tomato sauce (use store-bought) and melty mozzarella. For an even cheesier flavor, immediately sprinkle the hot pizza with grated Parmesan.

Quinoa Crust Pizza

Quinoa is an excellent ingredient for gluten-free pizza. This recipe will be appreciated by anyone on a diet, those looking to make their pizza healthier, and, finally, those who find the thought of working with yeast dough daunting. The crust is made with white quinoa, which cooks faster than other types, olive oil, and a small amount of salt and baking powder. You can bake the crust ahead of time, then top it with pizza toppings just before serving and return it to the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Make pepperoni pizza as in this recipe, or choose your own toppings.

Asian Noodle Pizza

If you're craving something unusual and original, try this Asian-style pizza made with instant noodles. This appetizer features all the traditional ramen toppings, only in pizza form. Boiled noodles are fried in a cast-iron skillet until they resemble a golden, crispy pancake, then topped with toppings and baked in the oven to warm through. For the sauce, use Japanese mayonnaise and tonkatsu sauce, and for the toppings, try shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, daikon, green onions, boiled eggs, seaweed chips, bacon, pickled ginger, and chili peppers.

Pizza with a crust stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeños

The highlight of this pizza is its luscious crust, stuffed with creamy cheese and topped with rings of fiery jalapeño. The center is topped with tomato sauce and a mixture of grated mozzarella and zesty pepper jack cheeses. The pizza is just the right amount of crispy and soft, chewy on the inside, and delicious, just like you'd get at an Italian restaurant. And if you use store-bought dough, the whole process will be a joy.

Pepperoni Pizza Frittata

Make a delicious frittata with the flavor of pepperoni pizza. Instead of a traditional crust, this pizza base features a tender and fluffy omelet made with egg whites. Top it with tomato marinara sauce, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, garnish with pepperoni slices, and finish with Parmesan cheese. The frittata base is fried in a skillet on the stovetop, and the topping is crisped in the oven using the broiler setting. It's ready in minutes! This frittata can be served as a gluten-free, low-calorie pizza for a healthy snack, or topped with salad greens in a vinaigrette and a slice of bread for breakfast.

Pizza with meat sides

Bake a pizza that won't leave any crust behind, because its edges are just as delicious (or maybe even more so) than the mouth-watering, gooey center. Before baking, the edges of the dough are sealed with a meat filling of Italian sausage, sautéed with bell peppers and mixed with pieces of provolone cheese. Choose between sweet or spicy sausage for the edges, depending on your preference. The center of the pizza is topped with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella. And as an added bonus, the super-crispy crust is achieved thanks to a thin layer of cornmeal on the dough.

Deep-dish Pepperoni Pizza

If you're a pizza lover, you definitely need to try this insanely thick American deep-dish pizza with a thick crust and a thick layer of toppings. Unlike traditional Italian pizza, this version is baked in a deep-dish pan. Store-bought dough is no problem: simply layer all the ingredients one by one as directed in the recipe and bake. Serve with a light green salad to refresh your taste buds after the spicy pepperoni.

White pizza with sesame, poppy and cumin

Bagel and bun lovers will be delighted with this pizza: its edges are adorned with sesame, caraway, poppy seeds, coarse sea salt, garlic flakes, and shallots, reminiscent of that same irresistible pastry. The center of this white pizza is a ricotta-based cheese sauce with Parmesan, spices, and mozzarella. For convenience, you can bake this pizza with pre-made or store-bought dough. The crust is incredibly airy, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and the center is incredibly chewy.
