Pantry Pizzas 🍕

What is a pantry pizza you ask?  Well, the best definition I have is...anything you want it to be!  Pizza is so versatile that you can almost make it out of anything!  It doesn't have to be on a pizza crust and it doesn't even have to be round!  A lot of times I make English Muffin Pizzas for the kids and sometimes even bagel pizzas.  This time, I wanted to use up some fresh Ingredients I had on hand as well as some sandwich wraps my husband brought home one day.  Pantry Pizza.  Use your pantry and fridge to come up with toppings!  I had some fresh mushrooms and tomatoes as well as some mozzarella string cheese I needed to use up.  I've had a can of black olives in my cubbord for months and some opened pepperoni in the fridge.  For the sauce I just used some Great Value jarred pizza sauce from Walmart.  I did sprinkle each pizza with some basil, oregano, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese.  I only wish I had some fresh spinach on hand to give it some green color and a healthy crunch.  

Pantry Pizza is easy for anyone to create their own!  Kids making their own pizzas means they are more likely to eat it all! 


Family Fun Suggestion:

Pantry Pizza Toppings Tray:
Prepare some toppings you have or even make a list (with input from the family) of toppings to get.  Then set them out on a tray and let little chefs make their own!  Such a fun family activity that ends with a tasty lunch or dinner!  

Recipe? There is no recipe!  Just find a flat bread or type of vehicle for your pizza sauce and toppings.  Assemble.  Bake.  Eat.  Enjoy!
