Not Your Mama’s Pizza – Easy One Dish Pizza

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

If you ask my kiddos what is going to happen Friday night, they will tell you  all about “Pizza Night!!!” Pizza is hands down my kiddos’ favorite meal. Every Valentine’s Day I like to create a fun twist to our pizza night for a fun Valentine’s dinner and this year we will be doing this not-so-typical pizza we like to call Easy One Dish Pizza.

What I love most about this recipe is that I was able to hide 2-3 cups of veggies and I did not hear one complaint about not wanting to eat the vegetables. No mama wants to hear that fight!

And as always, this recipe can be made with help from little kiddos and takes just as long to put together as it does to make regular pizza, if not less.

Yum, yum!
