Fresh Takes on Traditional Pizza

A steaming-hot pizza hits the spot anytime, especially as the temperatures dip. However, getting one usually entails popping a frozen option in the oven or ordering takeout, often with a typical topping like pepperoni. Elevate your pies to new heights instead with these recipes from the Pizza Night cookbook, which are as easy to make as they are delicious.

This simple pie features four cheeses, salt and pepper, and honey, giving it a tasty combination of sweet and salty.

A zesty mix of barbecue sauce, onions, and jalapenos is offset by a cool ranch dressing, providing ample flavor in every bite.
