I’m tired of spending so much money on takeout! You too? Good, let’s add these easy homemade pizza recipes to our meal plan and save some serious dough (see what I did there???)!
(This post probably contains affiliate links. My full disclosure policy is quite boring, but you can read it here if you’d like!)
Reasons to make homemade pizza? Um, everything.
It’s cheaper. it’s delicious. it’s a way to get rid of leftovers. it’s fun. Need I go on?
But, seriously. Making pizza at home is definitely budget-friendly.
Did you know that the average takeout large pizza in the US costs $14 but you can make it at home for $2.36 (this article outlines how, and I will add that there are definitely ways to make that even less).
This means if you have ONE pizza every Friday night, you’ll spend $728 on pizza. But if you made it yourself, it would only be $123. That’s a savings of over $600 – what could you do with an extra $600???
So, if I were you, I’d add a Family Fun Night or Funday Monday to your meal planning theme nights, and add these recipes to your meal plan 🙂

Mini No-Knead Pizza Bites

Oh how I love mini-anything! I think my kindergartner, Thor, would absolutely love these because he could add whatever toppings he wanted and make a big mess and I wouldn’t care so much because these are so cute.
Easy Homemade French Bread Pizza
by Yellow Bliss Road
I love french bread pizza because it’s so darn easy! No making dough, or buying dough, or letting the dough rise… Just buy a loaf of already made french bread and load it up! This has the perfect ratio of toppings though, so follow her instructions!
Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

White Pizza

I would have loved this when I was a kid – did I ever tell you how I hated spaghetti sauce (or gravy…) as a kid? I used to scrape the cheese and sauce off of pizza and just eat the bread. And my dad would cringe! LOL

Rainbow Vegetable Pizza
by Like Mother Like Daughter
My Thor is obsessed with all things rainbow right now and I think he might even try this. I’ve learned that this kid definitely eats with his eyes and will eat “pretty” things even though it might be something he normally wouldn’t try. It’s worth a shot because I love all the veggies on my pizza!

Thai Curry Chicken Naan Pizzas

So just last week I went out for Thai food with my friend (we were celebrating our birthdays which are only a few weeks apart) and I had a chicken dish with peppers and carrots – and here it is on a pizza! Love it! And naan makes a super easy pizza crust when you’re short on time!
