Win back to school

Hey there, Reader,

No matter the age of the kids in your life, back to school season is wild, especially when it comes to planning meals. Which is exactly why homemade pizza is my secret weapon. It’s no-fail while being kid and crowd-friendly,

And honestly? Part of why we do it so often now is because we just don’t order out like we used to. Maybe not faster...but pizza at home is definitely cheaper and way more fun.

My go-to doughs + reader faves:

• ​#1 pizza dough recipe— reader fave
• Best chewy Neapolitan dough recipe
• Extra thin and crispy Chicago style crust​
• ​Sheet pan pizza inspired by my gram, Josie
• Charred edges lovers will ❤️ my Detroit-style cupped ​pepperoni pizza​
• Not a red pizza sauce fan? This big flavored white pizza is the absolute best

Top pizza tips Preheat your stone/pan at 500° for at least 20 minutes. If chilled, make sure the dough is at room temp for a couple of hours. Stretch, don’t roll. Flour your countertop or bowl. Keep a couple dough balls in the freezer — future-you will be so happy! pizza 411
