Unique Homemade Pizza Recipes
Hello! Welcome to a whole new delicious pizzaverse, where mac and cheese, boozy French onion soup, bacon, egg, and cheese, beef tacos, and cacio e pepe can be eaten by the slice. Where cheeseburgers become calzones, spanakopita loses the fussy filo, and tomato soup is served with mini cheese pizzas for dunking.
I've been converting classic recipes to pizza form since I started this blog back in 2014, and so far I've only scratched the surface. The pizzabilities are endless!

I never knew how many dairy-free people there were out there until I started a pizza blog. Now, I meet one in almost every cooking class I teach, and I hear from people on social media who are searching for cheeseless options that don't taste like disappointment. So although I've already posted two other dairy-free […]
Savory Stuffed Pizza Doughnuts and Pretzels
Full disclosure: the primary reason I created this recipe was to find a use for the 6-cavity doughnut pan that's been wasting space in my kitchen since 2009. (It's just a happy accident that these stuffed pizza doughnuts and pretzels are delicious and perfect for football-watching season.)
Chipotle Creamed Corn Pizza
Am I the only one who's consistently bested by a can of chipotles in adobo sauce? I peel back the lid, breathe in that smoky-sweet aroma, and then, before I know it, I've dipped my finger in the sauce and dropped way too much on my tongue. Then the burning starts. Every. Single. Time. You'd […]

Pizza Primavera (bacon optional)
I realize my I-just-had-a-baby card is due to expire (or may have already) . . . but bear with me as I pull it anyway, one last time. On Monday, just after the rain stopped, I wandered into the backyard to assess the garden situation. One word: Bleak. It seems that last spring and summer, in […]
Dairy-Free Coconut Shrimp Pizza
Life has a nasty sense of humor sometimes. Like when you get all cozied up on the couch, wrap a blanket snug around your legs, and only then realize that the TV remote is across the room. Or like when the boiler poops out at bedtime on the first night of your husband's business trip […]
Philly Cheese Steak Pizza ("Whiz wit" or with provolone and American)
John and I both grew up a short drive away from Philadelphia—John just across the Delaware in New Jersey, and I on the PA side of the same river, about 40 minutes north. So naturally, like many other Philly identifiers, we have opinions about cheese steaks. Whiz wit? (John's a Cheez Whiz guy, but I've […]
