Friday is World Pizza Makers Day, so why not ditch delivery and have some fun making pizza at home with the fam? And no, you donโ€™t need to drop a fortune to do itโ€”here are three hacks to keep pizza night cheap, tasty, and packed with family bonding (or bickering, whatever works).

  1. Dough So Easy, Youโ€™ll Knead More

Why spend big on pre-made dough when you can make your own with just flour, yeast, water, and salt? It costs, like, pennies! Plus, kneading dough is basically a free workout for the kids (bonus: theyโ€™ll be tired and less likely to fight over who gets the biggest slice).

  1. Leftover Roulette

Letโ€™s talk toppings: instead of buying fancy stuff, raid your fridge like a pro. Leftover chicken? Toss it on. Random veggies on their last leg? Perfect! Itโ€™s like a fun little game of "Will This Taste Good on Pizza?" (Spoiler: it usually does). Youโ€™ll end up with a creative masterpiece and a cleaner fridgeโ€”win-win!

  1. Sauce & Cheese Swaps

No need to splurge on pizza sauce. Got a jar of spaghetti sauce? That works. Feeling bold? Try salsa for a little kick. And for cheese, donโ€™t stressโ€”grab the bargain bag of shredded mozzarella or mix it up with whatever youโ€™ve got on hand (yes, even cheddarโ€”pizza is a no-judgment zone).

So, gather the fam, get messy, and enjoy pizza night without burning through your budget. Itโ€™s cheap, itโ€™s delicious, and itโ€™s way more fun than watching someone else make your pizza on an app. Happy World Pizza Makers Day!
