Pizza Night is Family Night


Pizza has always been a staple meal in our house. It is so easy and the whole family just loves it. I decided to make things extra special and do a make-your-own pizza night for everyone! I thought it would be something different and fun! My daughter has been wanting to start getting creative in the kitchen, so this was a great start for her.

family gathered around homemade pizzas

We gathered our toppings: pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, peppers, pineapple, spinach, bacon, sauce, and ham. You could also add mushrooms, onions, chicken, ranch dressing, barbeque sauce, and so many more! That's why we love pizza in our house because the possibilities are endless! We used pre-made pizzas crusts from the store, but you could easily make your own pizza crusts!

What makes personal pizzas so great is that they make a great ideas for parties...especially spend the night birthday parties for the kiddos! They can make their own their way and you don't have to worry if someone will like something or not. Everyone gets something they enjoy and well fed while creating an easy, fun craft for them to do!

Build Your Own Pizza Bar Ideas

Do you have a kiddo that is interested in cooking? Have them check out DEX by Sheri Lynn Fishbach which is a tween novel about a gawky, lovesick amateur chef who opens a gourmet lunch stand on his lawn. DEX is being featured in the store savings booklet with two "DEXCIPES". It's an inspiring story for tweens ages 8 through 13, and a charming read for all adults that love food.

When I get my kids involved in the kitchen, they are more likely to eat what we cooked together...even the veggies! As you can see both kiddos put spinach on their pizzas (which they normally don't enjoy or so they say), but when they made it on their own they ate it all up! Plus they both get to use their imaginations and get creative in kitchen. Experts say the best way to learn is through play or in this case through cooking! This was also a great way for both my husband and I did get hands on with the kiddos. It was like a family dinner and family craft all in one!

Pizza Night is Family Night with Mama Mary’s®!

My daughter had so much fun making her own pizza. Just the experience itself was something fun, different, and something we could do together as a family. I even was able to get my kiddos to eat their veggies! That is definitely a win-win in my book!

Do you have pizza night in your house? What do you think about getting your kiddos involved in the kitchen? What are some of your favorite pizza toppings?

  13. I dont think I have ever seen this brand of crust before although it looks quite good. I have used flatbread and the old stand by of English muffins. Admittedly we all love pizza, so pleasing the crowd with make your own is an easy one. Looks like you all had fun.

  15. We did diy pizzas at a family party with my kids and all their cousins! It was a big hit! We didn't have quite as many choices on topping, thanks for sharing because next time I'll add some of these to the list!

  16. I am obsessed with pizza and have to eat it at least once (if not more) a week! This is such a great idea to let everyone make their own mini personal pizza though. :) I am definitely going to do this next time, the kids are going to love it!

  17. We do have pizza night in our home. My boys made their own pizzas a few times but prefer for me to make them. My boys are much older and we have monthly chores where they each have a month they have to help cook dinner.
