- [What to Serve With Pizza (15 worthy side dishes)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/what-to-serve-with-pizza/): Here's my problem with most "what to serve with pizza" lists: they're 40 items long and half the entries are just… food. Mashed cauliflower next to a pepperoni pie? Someone typed that with a straight face. I've spent two years feeding pizza to family, friends, and one neighbor who now shows up uninvited, and the sides that survive are always the ones doing a specific job.
- [8 Ways to Make Boboli Pizza Crust Better](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/boboli-pizza-crust-8-ways-to-make-it-good/): Let's get something out of the way: I like Boboli pizza crust. It's fully baked, it lives happily in the pantry, and it turns "we have nothing for dinner" into pizza in about fifteen minutes. What I don't like is what most people do with it — cold crust, straight from the bag, drowned in sauce, buried in bagged cheese, baked on a cold cookie sheet until the middle goes soft and sad.
- [Ooni Koda 2 Max vs Koda 16: Who Actually Needs the $1,199 Oven?](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/ooni-koda-2-max-vs-koda-16/): Every review of the Ooni Koda 2 Max reads the same way: biggest Ooni ever, 24 inches of stone, dual burners, 20-inch New York pies. All true. All impressive. And almost none of it answers the question you're actually asking, which is: should I spend the extra $550, or is the Koda 16 still the smarter buy?
- [7 Pillsbury Pizza Dough Recipes and Ideas](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/pillsbury-pizza-dough-recipes/): Somewhere in the back of my fridge, behind the good mozzarella and a jar of chili crisp I keep forgetting about, there is almost always a can of Pillsbury pizza dough. I make dough from scratch most weekends — but on a Tuesday at 6:15 p.m.? That can is the difference between pizza and a sad bowl of cereal.

- [Thin Crust Pizza: What Makes It Crispy (Plus the 3 Best Home Recipes)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/thin-crust-pizza/): The difference between cracker-snap and floppy cardboard isn't luck. It's five levers you can actually control — and three recipes built around them.
- [How to Throw a Pizza Party Like A Pro](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/pizza-party-like-a-pro/): Friday night is still America's favorite night for pizza — and roughly 4 in 5 of us have already tried making it at home. Here's the game plan that turns "let's do a pizza party" into a night people actually talk about afterward.
- [Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough: Big Flavor, Zero Waste, Pizza Tonight](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/sourdough-discard-pizza-dough-hack/): You feed your starter, you scoop out the leftover, and your hand hovers over the trash can. Stop right there. That unfed discard is a flavor bomb waiting for a home, and pizza is the best one I've found. The catch most recipes skip? Discard brings the taste, not the lift. Once you understand that one thing, same-day sourdough discard pizza dough becomes almost foolproof.

- [BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe: Crispy, Smoky & Sweet](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/bbq-chicken-pizza/): I love a classic margherita as much as the next person, but some nights I want a pizza with a little swagger. BBQ chicken pizza is that pizza: tangy barbecue sauce instead of tomato, smoky cheese, tender chicken, and a hit of sharp red onion. It tastes like a treat-yourself takeout order, except you made it in half an hour for a fraction of the price.
- [Air Fryer Tortilla Pizza: Crispy in 5 Minutes (No Dough)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/air-fryer-tortilla-pizza/): When the pizza craving hits on a Tuesday and you have zero patience for dough, a tortilla and an air fryer fix it in about the time it takes to pick a movie. Air fryer tortilla pizza comes out thin, shatter-crisp, and exactly as loaded as you want it.
- [Breakfast Pizza Recipe: The 1 Mistake Everyone Makes](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/delicious-breakfast-pizza-recipe/): A perfectly cooked egg lives in a window about 9°F wide. Your oven blows past it in the time it takes the cheese to melt. That's why your breakfast pizza eggs come out rubbery — and it's the easiest thing in this whole recipe to fix.
- [Sausage Pizza: The 1 Rule Nobody Gets Right](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/sausage-pizza-raw-or-precooked/): Sausage Pizza · Tested Against the Evidence
- [Stromboli vs Calzone: The Real Difference](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/stromboli-vs-calzone/): Same dough, same cheese, same craving — so why do these two get mixed up constantly? Here's the real difference, plus exactly when to make each.
- [Why Your Supreme Pizza Comes Out Soggy — and the Build Order That Fixes It](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/supreme-pizza-build-order/): Ask the internet what's on a supreme pizza and you'll get the same answer every time: pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, onion, mushroom, black olive. That part is settled. I've written the full classic-six topping breakdown myself, chain comparisons and all, and I stand by every word of it.
- [What Is Pepperoni Made Of?](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/what-is-pepperoni-made-of/): In my view, the most honest answer to "what is pepperoni made of" isn't a spice list — it's a process. Pork, beef, paprika, and chili are the easy part. What actually defines the pepperoni you eat is whether it was slow-fermented and dried, or fast-fermented and cooked, and whether its tang was grown or poured in. Most American pepperoni is the quick, cooked, fat-rich version, and I don't think that's a scandal. It's a clever piece of food engineering aimed squarely at making pizza taste good.
- [Meat Lovers Pizza Toppings](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/meat-lovers-pizza-toppings/): Three of the five meats on a classic meat lovers pie — pepperoni, salami, and Italian sausage — are basically the same cured, spiced pork. Pepperoni alone runs about 46% fat and roughly 1,580 mg of sodium per 100 grams. So that “five-meat” pizza often isn’t five flavors. It’s one salty, greasy note played three times.

- [How Do You Defrost Pizza Dough Quickly](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/how-do-you-defrost-pizza-dough-quickly/): Investigated & written by Zach Miller
- [Why Is My Pizza Dough Not Rising? (one quick fix)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/why-is-my-pizza-dough-not-rising/): Why is my pizza dough not rising? Nine times out of ten it's the yeast — it's either expired or it got killed by water that was too hot. The fast fix: dissolve 1 teaspoon of fresh yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in ½ cup of warm water (100–110°F), wait 10 minutes for it to foam, then knead that living foam into your dough and let it rise again in a warm spot. Full step-by-step rescue is further down.
- [Easy Homemade King Arthur Pizza Dough Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/easy-homemade-king-arthur-pizza-dough-recipe/): If you've ever typed "king arthur pizza dough recipe" into Google at 5pm on a Friday, you already know the appeal: it's the crust that doesn't ask you to own a stand mixer, a sourdough starter, or a degree in fermentation science. Just all-purpose flour, water, yeast, oil, and salt — the stuff already in your kitchen.
- [Fast Pizza Dough Recipe (anyone can make)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/fast-pizza-dough-recipe-anyone-can-make/): No overnight ferment. No "come back in two hours." Just real, chewy, crisp-edged pizza dough built on a clock that respects your Tuesday night.
- [Domino’s Protein Pizza Could Be Coming](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/dominos-protein-pizza-could-be-coming/): After a call with Domino's CFO, Bernstein analysts say a protein-boosted pizza, a revamped chicken platform and new crust formats are likely waiting in the chain's long-term playbook.
- [Here Is Where The Cheapest Pizza Is…](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/here-is-where-the-cheapest-pizza-is/): A nationwide price check of 180 cities finds Indiana pizza fans paying $13.95 for a medium cheese — while Hawaii shells out 41% more for the same pie.
- [Easy Overnight Pizza Dough Recipe (Hack)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/easy-overnight-pizza-dough-recipe-hack/): This overnight pizza dough recipe puts that time on autopilot. You mix for ten minutes on Friday night, slide the dough into the refrigerator, and by Saturday evening you're pulling out the best dough you've ever stretched. The hardest part of the whole recipe is remembering the dough exists. (Set a phone reminder. I learned this the hard way after discovering a 5-day science experiment behind the orange juice.)
- [The Best Whole Wheat Pizza Dough Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/the-best-whole-wheat-pizza-dough-recipe/): Whole wheat crust earned its dry, dusty reputation honestly — most recipes treat it like white dough with extra fiber. It isn't. Fix three things, and you get a hearty, nutty, genuinely chewy base you'll actually crave.
- [Why Pizza Dough Won’t Rise (It’s Not Dead Yeast)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/why-pizza-dough-wont-rise-its-not-dead-yeast/): The Counter-Take
- [Try This Italian 00 Flour Pizza Dough Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/try-this-italian-00-flour-pizza-dough-recipe/): Dough · Italian Classics
- [2 Ingredient Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/2-ingredient-greek-yogurt-pizza-dough-recipe/): Here’s the deal: you want homemade pizza tonight, not tomorrow. Traditional dough wants an hour or two to rise, and your stomach is not interested in negotiating. Enter Greek yogurt pizza dough — flour and yogurt stirred into a soft, workable ball that goes from bowl to oven in about 20 minutes flat.
- [How to Make Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/how-to-make-cottage-cheese-pizza-crust/): The flour version is the one that went viral, and it's what most people mean by "cottage cheese pizza crust." The no-flour version answers the "cottage cheese pizza crust no flour" and crustless searches — it bakes into a thin, sliceable layer closer to an egg-based flatbread. Both recipes are below. If neither scratches the itch, our cauliflower pizza crust and high-protein chicken crust pizza cover the other popular grain-free routes, and there's a dedicated gluten-free crust option too.

- [Easy Homemade Pizza Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/easy-homemade-pizza-sauce-with-fresh-tomatoes/): There's a specific kind of panic that hits in late summer when your tomato plants decide to ripen everything at once. You can only eat so many BLTs. So you start looking for projects, and homemade pizza sauce with fresh tomatoes is one of the best ones going — it freezes well, tastes like sunshine, and uses up that mountain of fruit before it goes soft.
- [Awesome Garlic Sauce for Pizza Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/awesome-garlic-sauce-for-pizza-recipe/): You went looking for “garlic sauce for pizza” and got two completely different things. One is a glossy, buttery drizzle you squeeze over the crust like the cup that comes with delivery. The other is a thick, creamy white sauce you spread under the cheese instead of red sauce. Same search, two totally different jobs.

- [Pizza Sauce vs Marinara: What’s the Difference?](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/pizza-sauce-vs-marinara-whats-the-difference/): I learned this the messy way: marinara straight from the jar onto a thin crust, and a center that came out somewhere between “tomato soup” and “flatbread that gave up.” So let’s settle the pizza sauce vs marinara question for good, then I’ll show you exactly when to use each (and how to fake one with the other in a pinch).

- [How to Reheat a Calzone](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/how-to-reheat-a-calzone/): I reheated the same batch of calzones five different ways so you don't have to sacrifice a single leftover to the cause. Here's what actually works.
- [Pizza Hut Could Soon Have a New Owner as Yum Enters Exclusive Talks](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/pizza-hut-could-soon-have-a-new-owner/): Pizza Hut may be about to change hands. Yum! Brands is in exclusive talks to sell the chain to private-equity firm LongRange Capital, according to reports from Bloomberg and Reuters on May 29. LongRange has reportedly entered exclusivity after edging out other suitors, and while the two sides could reach a deal in the coming weeks, sources cautioned there’s no guarantee one gets done.
- [Una Pizza Napoletana Takes the Top Spot on 50 Top Pizza USA’s 2026 Rankings Takes the Top Spot on 50 Top Pizza USA’s 2026 Rankings](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/una-pizza-napoletana-takes-the-top-spot/): Una Pizza Napoletana in New York has been named the best pizzeria in the United States for 2026 by 50 Top Pizza, the Italy-based guide whose annual rankings carry serious weight in the pizza world. The awards were announced May 27 at the Haft Theater in New York City, and Anthony Mangieri’s celebrated Neapolitan-style pizzeria claimed the No. 1 spot for the fourth time.
- [Meatball Calzone: The Italian Sub Trapped in Pizza Dough](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/meatball-calzone-italian-sub-in-pizza-dough/): There's a moment, right after you pull a meatball calzone from the oven, when you just stand there. Golden dough, steam curling up from the vent slits, the smell of garlic and marinara filling the whole kitchen. You know the filling inside is molten. You also know you should wait at least five minutes before cutting into it. You will not wait five minutes.
- [Easy Air Fryer Calzone Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/easy-air-fryer-calzone-recipe/): There's a bonus that matters for stuffed dough specifically: no preheat tax. Most baskets are up to temp in under five minutes, versus the 20-plus minutes a stone-loaded oven needs to be worth using. For a folded pocket that only needs 8 minutes of actual cooking, that preheat gap is the whole reason air fryer calzones feel effortless.
- [Easy Philly Cheesesteak Calzone Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/easy-philly-cheesesteak-calzone-recipe/): Picture a Philly cheesesteak that decided it was tired of falling apart on the hoagie roll, so it wrapped itself in golden pizza dough instead. That's a Philly cheesesteak calzone — all the gooey, beefy, oniony joy of the original, sealed into a handheld pocket that won't drip down your wrist. It comes together in about 45 minutes, and you don't need to be a dough wizard to nail it.
- [Easy Chicken Calzone Recipe for Beginners](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/easy-chicken-calzone-recipe-for-beginners/): Most chicken calzone recipes online give you one filling, call it a day, and leave you hunting for two more sites when you want to do buffalo or BBQ instead. I've made all three on the same Saturday more than once — usually because nobody in my house can agree — so this article is what I wish I'd had then. Three full chicken calzone recipes, one master technique, and the exact reason restaurant calzones taste better than yours (spoiler: it's not the cheese).
- [The Best Pepperoni Calzone Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/the-best-pepperoni-calzone-recipe/): If your idea of a great Friday night is a pizza you can hold in one hand without losing every piece of pepperoni to the plate, the calzone was built for you. A pepperoni calzone is just pizza folded over itself — but get the seal wrong, overload the ricotta, or skip the steam vent and you end up with a soggy half-moon that explodes in the oven (yes, I learned this the hard way). This is the version I've been making for years, and the one I'd trust a beginner with.
- [Easy Cheese Calzone Recipe](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/easy-cheese-calzone-recipe/): A proper cheese calzone is not just pizza folded in half. It is a sealed pocket of dough that traps steam, melts a precise blend of three cheeses into something molten and creamy, and arrives at the table with a crackly golden shell. Here is how I make it at home — and why mine ends up better than most pizzerias.
- [How to Make Calzones ](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/how-to-make-calzones/): Calzones · Step-By-Step Method
- [6 Best Supreme Pizza Toppings](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/6-best-supreme-pizza-toppings/): A traditional supreme pizza is loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage, green bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms, and black olives — but the real magic is the balance between them.
- [The Best Sourdough Garlic Bread for Homemade Pizza Night](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/the-best-sourdough-garlic-bread/): If you've ever pulled a homemade pizza out of the oven and thought "this is great, but it needs a wingman," sourdough garlic bread is the answer. It's crisp on the outside, tangy and buttery in the middle, and it goes from "stale half-loaf on the counter" to "best thing on the table" in under fifteen minutes. I make it almost every pizza night, and the bowl always comes back empty before the pizza does. Mildly insulting to the pizza. Highly satisfying to me.
- [How To Freeze Sourdough Pizza Dough](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/how-to-freeze-sourdough-pizza-dough/): There's no single "right" way to freeze sourdough pizza dough. There are three approaches, each suited to a different scenario. Pick the one that matches how you'll actually use the dough.
- [Honest Blackstone Pizza Oven Review](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/honest-blackstone-pizza-oven-review/): The Blackstone Pizza Oven gets a lot of attention online, and for once the hype is mostly earned. It's a propane-fired, 16-inch monster with a rotating cordierite stone and a torch-style burner that can crank past 900°F. But is it the right oven for your backyard? That's the question this review actually answers.
- [The Only Margherita Pizza Recipe You’ll Ever Need](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/the-only-margherita-pizza-recipe-you-need/): Three toppings. One unbreakable rule book. Here’s how to make a Margherita that tastes like Naples — even if your kitchen lives in Ohio.

- [Where Was Pizza Invented? (Origins Explained)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/where-was-pizza-invented-heres-the-real-story/): A 700-year journey from Neapolitan street food to global icon — and why one city in southern Italy gets to call itself the birthplace of pizza.
- [Easy Homemade Alfredo Pizza Recipe With White Sauce](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/alfredo-pizza-without-the-chicken/): Every Alfredo pizza recipe on the internet seems to be hiding a chicken breast under the cheese. This one isn't.
- [Philly Cheesesteak Pizza: The Mash-Up That Actually Works](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/philly-cheesesteak-pizza-recipe/): A Philly cheesesteak pizza is what happens when two American legends agree to share a plate. Shaved ribeye, sweet onions, soft green peppers, and a melty cheese situation that absolutely refuses to behave — all on a crisp homemade pizza crust. Done right, it tastes like the corner of South Philly walked into your kitchen and said "let's make this fun."
- [Handmade Pan Pizza: The Pizza Hut Copycat Recipe (Better Than the Original)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/handmade-pan-pizza-the-pizza-hut-copycat/): You know the one. That thick, golden square of nostalgia with the shatteringly crispy bottom, the cloud-soft dough inside, and enough grease on the crust edges to make a cardiologist nervous — in the best possible way. The Pizza Hut handmade pan pizza is one of those food memories that lodges itself somewhere deep in your brain, right next to your first bike and your prom dress disaster.
- [What is Sicilian Pizza?](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/what-is-sicilian-pizza/): Ask three pizza lovers what makes a Sicilian pizza Sicilian and you'll get four answers, two arguments, and someone insisting it's basically focaccia (it sort of is, but don't tell anyone). The short version: it's thick, square, oil-crisped on the bottom, pillowy in the middle, and sauced like it means business. The longer version involves Arab-influenced bakers in Palermo, a 19th-century street food called sfincione, a boat full of Sicilian immigrants, and a New York love affair with mozzarella that changed the recipe forever.

- [Taco Bell adds Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/taco-bell-adds-cantina-chicken-mexican-pizza/): The Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza lands nationwide on May 21 with a brand-new Jalapeño Citrus Salsa packet — and Taco Bell says it's only the beginning of a wider Mexican Pizza reinvention this year.
- [How Many Calories in a Slice of Pizza? (with interactive calculator)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/how-many-calories-in-a-slice-of-pizza/): By style, topping, size, and brand — the complete, no-fluff breakdown you actually need.
- [Stuffed Pizza vs Deep Dish Pizza](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/stuffed-pizza-vs-deep-dish-pizza/): Here's a conversation I've had more times than I can count: someone visits Chicago, tries a thick, saucy, deeply satisfying pizza, and comes home raving about the "deep dish." Except — nine times out of ten — what they actually ate was a stuffed pizza. And those are two different things. Very different things. Chicagoans will correct you on this with the energy of someone who just had their sports team insulted. Rightfully so.
- [Prosciutto Pizza: The 5-Minute Topping That Makes You Look Like a Pro](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/prosciutto-pizza-topping/): This is one of those main dishes that sounds like a production but genuinely isn't. Whether it's a casual weeknight dinner or a proper pizza night with a crowd, prosciutto pizza punches well above its effort level. The rest of this guide covers which base works best, how to pair prosciutto with arugula, fig, and hot honey, and a full recipe you can make any night of the week.
- [Bread Machine Pizza Dough: The Hands-Off Recipe That Actually Works](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/bread-machine-pizza-dough/): This bread machine pizza dough recipe is genuinely foolproof once you know two things: ingredient order matters, and the DOUGH cycle (not the bread cycle — more on that in a minute) is your setting. Get those right, and you'll have stretchy, flavorful homemade pizza dough ready for the oven with about five minutes of actual work. That's a proper pizza night sorted, with almost zero effort. Let me show you exactly how.
- [A Wood-Fired Pizza Oven at Home](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/a-wood-fired-pizza-oven-at-home/): Let me save you a lot of time here. Wood-fired pizza ovens are genuinely incredible — and genuinely not for everyone. The question isn't whether they make better pizza (they do, at least for one specific style). The question is whether the cost, the space, the learning curve, and the sheer commitment of owning one actually matches how you cook and what you want from a Friday night doing outdoor pizza in the backyard.
- [National Pizza Party Day, May 15 2026](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/national-pizza-party-day-2026/): May 15 is National Pizza Party Day — the one Friday a year where making a homemade pizza bar for your friends counts as a legitimate plan.

- [12 Types of Pizza Crust Explained: From Cracker-Thin to Deep-Dish Beast](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/types-of-pizza-crust-explained/): The problem is, most "types of pizza crust" guides online read like a restaurant menu written by a committee. They list six styles, give you a sentence on each, and call it a day. That's not a guide — that's a pamphlet.

(Day-by-Day Guide)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/can-you-eat-pizza-after-wisdom-teeth-removal/): Most patients can safely return to pizza around day 10–14 after wisdom teeth removal.

- [Vodka Sauce Pizza: The TikTok-Famous Pizza Recipe (Worth the Hype?)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/vodka-sauce-pizza-the-tiktok-famous-pizza/): Some food trends deserve to quietly die in the algorithm. Vodka sauce pizza is not one of them. This is the slice that kept popping up on TikTok — creamy, blush-colored, draped in molten mozzarella — until you finally broke down and made it on a Tuesday night. And then made it again on Friday. Twice.
- [Pizza Sauce From Scratch in 5 Minutes (No Cook Required)](https://thatpizzakitchen.com/pizza-sauce-from-scratch-no-cook-required/): Here's the thing about homemade pizza sauce: you've been overthinking it.
