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 donโt need to drop a fortune to do itโhere are three hacks to keep pizza night cheap, tasty, and packed with family bonding (or bickering, whatever works).
- Dough So Easy, Youโll 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: theyโll be tired and less likely to fight over who gets the biggest slice).
- Leftover Roulette
Letโs 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! Itโs like a fun little game of "Will This Taste Good on Pizza?" (Spoiler: it usually does). Youโll end up with a creative masterpiece and a cleaner fridgeโwin-win!
- 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, donโt stressโgrab the bargain bag of shredded mozzarella or mix it up with whatever youโve got on hand (yes, even cheddarโpizza is a no-judgment zone).
So, gather the fam, get messy, and enjoy pizza night without burning through your budget. Itโs cheap, itโs delicious, and itโs way more fun than watching someone else make your pizza on an app. Happy World Pizza Makers Day!
