Planning a kid’s birthday party always seems like an easy feat 4 months before the big day. Then, before you know it, you’re a few weeks out and actually have to come up with those new and fun ideas to keep everyone entertained. It can be daunting to say the least.

While I’m totally game for ordering a few pizzas and calling it a day, this Quilt Pizza is much more exciting, easy to make and a great way to get all your guests involved. It becomes an activity in and of itself. But, you don’t have to have a big party to enjoy this pizza. It easily scales down to accommodate smaller gatherings like slumber parties, get togethers or an intimate family dinner.

First, get a ton — I mean a TON — of toppings, veggies, meats and even some pineapple if you like, and divide them between separate bowls. Next, buy a few packages of pre-made pizza dough from the grocery store or your local pizzeria and roll and stretch it to fit a sheet pan. Then place everything out on a table, and let the kids go crazy! Each child gets a square to design their own handmade patch of pizza. Once the pies are all baked up and bubbly, you won’t believe how excited the kids will be to chow down on their personalized slice!

Not that pizza was every boring, but I love finding new ways to make pizza more fun! We trade off making this Quilt Pizza or Pizza MuffinsPizza PinwheelsPizza Balls and this veggie packed, delicious Green Machine Pizza. The kids get super stoked when they hear it’s pizza night in our house!

  1. […] Quilters have to eat, right? Well, why not make a quilt pizza for your next stitchy get-together. It’s sure to be a hit.  Get the recipe at Weelicious, […]

  2. Have you tried rolling it out thinner? Pre-baking the crust alone will help. Pizza stones are a great kitchen tool!

  3. Prebake your crust in a hot oven (at least 425) for about 3-5 minutes, maybe longer if you like it a touch more done. Then top and finish baking in a hot oven until the cheese is slightly browned. Hope it works as well for you as it does for us 🙂

  4. I am dying for ANYONE’s tips on how to get nicely cooked dough on a homemade pizza. For the life of me, I just CANNOT make it work. I buy the store stuff – honestly if I cannot get that work I have no interest in the time it takes to make my own. It’s always a chewy, uncooked, gloppy mess. HELP?!

  5. Oh my goodness. This is TOO cute! I love it! And kids loooooooove eating food that resembles something other than food. It might actually get my kid to eat spinach (in some way other than pureed in a smoothie).

  6. What a clever idea! Definitely doing this! Thanks ! cookie pizza or fruit pizza….time to play around 🙂
