Perfect Homemade Pizza: The Best Pizza Combinations and Tips on Pizza Toppings

Skip the takeout/delivery!! Try this Homemade Pizza that is much easier than it looks with Video Instructions. A simple recipe for thin crust Italian Pizza topped with tomato sauce, Mozzarella cheese and basil – from scratch! If you are adventurous in the kitchen, try making your own pizza sauce and different homemade pizza crusts with some of these fabulous recipes! Using a pizza stone, really makes a difference in the texture of the crust.

While the dough is pretty critical, the toppings are just as important to get right. Specific toppings will boil down to personal preference, although I give my favorite recommendations below. It’s really important that you shred the mozzarella cheese yourself. Pre-shredded mozzarella cheese are coated with a powdery-like substance that keep the cheese from sticking together. Doesn’t make good homemade pizza.

Make this your own. Add some pepperoni, chopped ham, cooked sausage, bacon, cooked or grilled chicken, diced green, red or yellow peppers, spinach or kale (precook the kale but not the spinach), mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, fresh or canned pineapple, olives, cooked red onion, fresh basil, whatever you desire.
