"Hosting a pizza night and looking for inspiration? Sure, you can throw just about anything on a pizza. But as a homemade pizza expert, I've found that there are certain pizza topping ideas that make crowd-pleasing pizzas every time: from the classic Margherita pizza to unique pies like taco pizza and pickle pizza. Of course, the classics are classics for a reason: like the mighty pepperoni, chicken BBQ, and Hawaiian pizza."
"The high heat from a preheated stone creates that crispy, chewy crust that's impossible to achieve on a regular baking sheet. I preheat mine for at least 45 minutes before baking. A pizza peel is essential for safely transferring your topped pizza onto the hot stone. I dust mine with cornmeal or semolina flour to help the pizza slide off easily. If you don't have a peel, a rimless baking sheet works as a temporary solution. But I like this conveyor pizza peel."
Certain pizza toppings reliably please crowds, ranging from classics like pepperoni, chicken BBQ, Hawaiian, and Margherita to inventive pies such as taco and pickle pizza. Fresh additions like basil, prosciutto, sautéed portobello mushrooms, hot honey, or truffle oil elevate flavors. A simple five-minute sauce of fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, oregano, and salt complements the pies. Essential tools include a preheated pizza stone for crispy, chewy crust, a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or semolina, and alternatives like a rimless baking sheet. Dough choices include a traditional chewy crust or a thin, crisp version. Proper oven preheating and avoiding overloaded toppings improve results.
