Step 3 – Choose a Cheese:
There are different types of cheese option that are delicious on your pizza. My son does not like cheese, so he just makes his without it. These are some favorite cheese options.
- Mozzarella
- Cheddar
- Parmesan
We do recommend shredding your own cheese as it melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
Step 4 – Choose a Protein:
Load your pizza with your favorite meats or make a veggie pizza.
- Pepperonis
- Chicken
- Sauce
- Hamburger
- Canadian Bacon

Tips for a Pizza Bar:
- Many Options – This is a great base recipe but you can easily use any sauces, cheeses or toppings that you would love to make this fun Pizza Bar.
- Olive Oil – Before I start adding toppings, I like to drizzle olive oil the crust.
- Family Night – Start a tradition with your family with pizza bar and movie night. My kids love this night.
- Cheese – We recommend shredding your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese has added ingredients and it doesn’t melt as well.

What do you Serve with Pizza:
Pizza can be served by itself but I like to have some side options, especially if I am feeding a crowd.
