The second Sunday in January is the start of National pizza week. For seven days we get to celebrate all things pizza. And what better way to celebrate than with a different pizza every night of the week. All homemade of course! So here are some of the delicious pizza recipes that I have on my site.
If I am being honest, it is pizza week at our house every week. We love pizza. And because of that, I have some great pizza recipes to share with you. National Pizza Week or not, I hope you give them a try and find one that you love!
Celebrate National Pizza Week
All pizzas have to start off with a great pizza crust. My pizza dough recipe is just what you need.
Next you will need a good pizza sauce recipe. My homemade pizza sauce is full of flavor and the perfect compliment to any of your pizza toppings.
If deep dish pizza is your thing, I have you covered.
And if you love ham and pineapple than my Hawaiian Pizza is for you.
A thin crust fan? Try my Margherita pizza.
Want something different than traditional pizza sauce, try my chicken pesto pizza. A delicious combination of my basil pesto sauce and pesto chicken.
And what about a pizza appetizer? This mini prosciutto, blackberry, and basil pizza is always a crowd pleaser.
So is this cranberry brie pizza!
And one last tip! If you have never tried arugula on pizza, you are missing out. Trying something new is a great way to celebrate National Pizza week. Check out this arugula pizza, or really just toss some arugula on any of your favorite pizzas.
No matter what your preference, I hope you find a pizza recipe you love to celebrate National Pizza Week!

If you put the cheese on First, the pizza is way better, the cheese on last insulates the vegetables and they do not cook as well. A suggestion to me from a french pizza maker.

I made this tonight with the excitement that this recipe was doable without the stone and the paddle. It looked beautiful coming out of the oven but could have passed as a casserole when cut up and served. After serving a few pieces, we let it cool, put it on a cookie sheet and had to bake it for another 10 minutes. I’m not sure of the solution but a different approach is necessary if you’re not using this equipment. My husband and I agreed that maybe we could bake the crust alone for a while first and then add the ingredients. It was great pizza but I would disagree and say the paddle and stone are definitely a must.

Leslie, If you aren’t usiing the stone I would parbake the crust for about 5 minutes before adding your toppings and then baking.

I loved seeing your recipe. I make pizza every Friday night. Never have to decide on a crowded restaurant, and our grown kids know the invitation is always open for them to join us…and they get to eat out…at Mom’s!
Leigh Anne says
I love that you have the tradition of making pizza every Friday night and that your kids often join in. So fun!!
Andrea says
I tried it today! It was delicious.
The crust was a bit sticky when I was trying to put it in the tray tho.
Is there a thing I should do so it gets more consistency, like be more solid and less sticky?
Thanks for the recipe!
Leigh Anne says
Just add some more flour to it so it’s not so sticky. Glad you enjoyed it.
Andrea says
Okay, I’ll try it next time!
Thank you(:
