Let them design their own pizzas and they went crazy with it. Some were actually pretty good, one was questionable but they ate it anyway. Way more fun than ordering takeout and kept everyone entertained for like 3 hours. Definitely doing this again. Thinking about making pasta from scratch next week if I'm feeling ambitious.
This is what it's all about right here. My four kids fight over who gets to pick the toppings and half the pizzas are a total mess but they're having a blast. Way better than ordering out.
That's a perfect Friday night. I love letting mine design their own stuff in the kitchen - they're way more willing to eat it when they made it themselves. Even the questionable ones.
Ha, did any of them go full chaos mode with toppings? My three would have emptied the entire fridge onto one pizza. The key is setting some ground rules beforehand but honestly the bad ones are half the fun.
This is awesome! We did this last month and one of my kids made a pizza that was basically just sauce and pepperoni shaped like a smiley face. Totally inedible but she was so proud. The ones that turned out well tasted even better because they made them themselves.
Pro tip for next time: let them pick toppings ahead of time so they don't go overboard in the moment. We learned that the hard way with our daughter when she wanted marshmallows on hers.

This is the kind of memory they'll remember forever. My oldest still talks about the time he put pineapple and hot sauce on his pizza three years ago. You nailed it.
