Cooking Games – Homemade Pizza


Want to make something fun for dinner tonight? Try your hand at an authentic pizza – well, mostly authentic anyhow.

Gather Cooking Games Ingredients
To make pizza you’ll need the following:

  • Pizza crust
  • Roma tomatoes
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil

Making Homemade Pizza
This style of pizza is called margherita pizza in Italy and is usually found in small shops where you buy it by size. You simply gesture how big a piece you want and it is weighed to determine price.

To make it yourself, stretch out the pre-made pizza crust over a rectangular pan. I prefer the kind of crust that comes in a tube ready to use. Bake the pizza for about five minutes.

Slice your tomatoes very thinly or you can dice them if you prefer. Once you have the tomatoes ready, spread them into a thin layer on the pizza. Add a layer of fresh basil on top of the tomatoes.

Sprinkle the top of the pizza with a generous serving of mozzarella, bake and enjoy.

Pizza Party!


It’s time to have some friends over for a pizza party! No, you don’t want to order pizza ahead of time for this party – you’re going to make your very own. It’s not hard to do and it takes almost no time to prepare. You can have the party tonight!

One of the best cooking games, making pizza is simple, but can be a lot of fun, especially around your friends. Buy ready made crusts at the grocery store or use the dough sold by biscuits. You can also use plain biscuit dough as well to make the crust of your pizza. If you’re health conscious, you can even use tortillas.

Since your friends will get to make their own pizza, you need to have an assortment of toppings. Brown some hamburger meat ahead of time and put it in a bowl. Buy pepperoni slices and lots of cheese. Cut up some of your favorite veggies and have them ready in separate bowls.

Then, when your friends arrive, pass around the pizza sauce, spread it on the crust and get started decorating your pizza with any design you want – including any toppings you want. When the pizzas are ready, bake and then everyone plop down in front of a favorite show or movie to eat and enjoy!

The Perfect Pizza


Why is it that we think pizza should only come with pepperoni and cheese? Your perfect pizza is a symbol about who you are, and more importantly – what you like on your pizza. You can create perfect pizzas in your own kitchen or in many of the online cooking games – or both! Just be sure you experiment at least once.

Start with crust. Even if you’re unconventional, it’s hard to skip the crust part of the pizza. If you’re in your kitchen, you can even use biscuit dough or tortillas for crust. Sauce is totally optional and there are different choices of sauce out there including marinara and alfredo. Live a little!

Add whatever kind of cheese you want – if you want it, and then get started on the toppings. Pepperoni is pretty standard, but don’t feel compelled to add it based on principle. You might also like sausage, hamburger or ham instead.

Don’t forget your veggies! Mushrooms, olives, onions, spinach and other veggies can all be used on pizza quite successfully. Give them a try – you might like it!
