This past weekend, my roommate and I found ourselves in that everlasting college dilemma: We were hungry, it was late, we wanted pizza. Naturally, and without the least bit of shame, we called Domino's. After all, it seemed like the cheapest, most convenient option. Agreed? Actually, making your own pizza is one of the most simple, fun activities you can do...and it turns out to be cheaper than ordering in. Who could deny the wonders of fresh, homemade 'za?
I found
this beautiful guide to DIY pizzas, and next time I have the craving for a little late night pizza, you can bet that you'll find me up to my elbows in flour.
Why?
Making your own pizza gives you a level of control (creatively and health-consciously) that you usually don't have with your late-night run to Pizza Hut or Papa John's. Their pizzas are often composed of about 200-500 calories per slice. Homemade pizza does not have to destroy your diet if you are mindful of toppings! I am excited to try
this vegetarian recipe for onion, mushroom and ricotta pizza that exchanges dough for tortilla wraps to make a super-thin crust. *Mmmm....*
What do you put on your homemade pizza? Does it taste better than takeout? What other takeout items can you make better at home?

We made pizza in secondary school, but we used bread roll with tomoto and cheese as this was we had time for.
I dont eat pizza since I dont like tomoto.
I made a mashed potato pizza.
thick herb crust, sour cream mixed with ranch for the sauce, mashed potatoes, onions, bacon, and cheese on top.
Has anyone seen the Domino's commercials where they promise a new recipe? I wonder how different their pizzas actually taste.
Mushrooms -- lots and lots of mushrooms. I also put on several different cheeses.
I love to add lots of pepperoni, olives, and vegetables.
To commence tonight! Made the dough on Sunday. We're putting fresh mozzarella with the pizza sauce and making various types with the toppings selection, including a Vegan one. I love Sage sausage, personally--and baby bella mushrooms. We have fresh Italian herbs to break up and spread across.
And the finishing touch? Grating from a block of Parmesan cheese at the end supposedly helps enhance the flavor lots (says the random guy at the grocery store who latched onto us during our cheese decision process, haha).
Butternut Squash and Pancetta! It is the perfect combo of sweet and salty.
mmmm...i want chicken, pepperoni, peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, pineapple, and ham.
i don't get takeout so i wouldn't know but i enjoy everything i make :)
i use french bread as the "dough" & i use ALLL cheeses i can fit on it :) as well as pepporoni, spicy sausage, mushrooms galore, ham, & onions & peppers mmmmm :p
@KimisBarbie@xanga - OMG! That sounds divine. Extreme comfort food!
Haha my roomie and I called Little Caesars Pizza the other night for a late pizza delivery...it was about 9 bucks for a large pizza and two orders of crazy bread, not bad at all. I would love to cook my own pizza, but living in the dorms prohibits that (we lack a kitchen).
I really want to make my own pizza when I find the time! I plan on using whole wheat English muffin with tomato sauce/ cheese/ veggie toppings. It'll be a mini pizza. I know it's not a real pizza but it's good enough for me when I need to eat healthy during the week.
