Pro tip: frozen pizza hacks that saved my week

Jan 17·1 min read

So I've been doing the frozen pizza thing on nights when I'm solo parenting and wife has book club. Instead of just... serving frozen pizza, I've been:

Adding fresh spinach on top before baking
Throwing on some of those pre-cooked chicken strips
Finishing with fresh basil after it comes out

Kids think it's "fancy homemade pizza" and I get 15 min back in my life. Win-win. Also discovered that store brand pizza is honestly like 85% as good as the name brands for half the cost.

This is solid but real talk - does your kid actually eat it or are you just making yourself feel better about the frozen pizza lol

These are good tips but honestly sometimes frozen pizza is just frozen pizza and that's fine. You're not failing if your kids eat it as-is on book club nights

This is just making pizza less frozen pizza though? Like you're basically cooking now

The fresh basil finish is key. Game changer. Also Pro Tip Pro Tip: use a pizza stone or cast iron instead of the box - crust gets way better

Adding stuff before baking is smart but doesn't the spinach get all sad and dried out? Maybe wilt it first?

I do something similar but with pesto instead of basil. Game changer for making it feel like an actual meal

The pre-cooked chicken strips idea is solid. Gonna steal this. My wife thinks I'm useless with solo parenting nights and I need ammunition
