How To Make Homemade Frozen Pizza

Frozen pizza is simple to make when you need a quick supper or are craving pizza. This homemade frozen pizza has a soft crunchy crust and tastes wonderful!

We love homemade pizza but sometimes when it is on the menu the day doesn’t allow for the work that homemade pizza takes. Occasionally we would keep a frozen pizza or two from the store in the freezer for a busy day, or after a baby was born, but the quality of them has gone way down and they are expensive.

The crust of pizza is really what takes so long. After figuring out a quick crust we will often keep either homemade frozen pizza or premade crust and the ingredients on hand to throw pizza together. Homemade frozen pizza is healthier, tastes better, is cheaper (depending on what you put on it) than store bought and you can pick your toppings.

What You Need To Make Homemade Frozen Pizza

• Pitas – Either homemade or storebought, I have used both kinds. This is my Pita Bread recipe that I use most of the time.
• Sauce – Any kind of sauce will work. I have frozen them with tomato-based sauces, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, and alfredo sauce before and they all turn out fine.
• Cheese – Shredded cheese works best.
• Toppings – Pepperoni, any kind of meat, peppers (pickled or fresh), onions, spinach, tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, and pineapple are frequent ones of ours.
• Saran wrap and tinfoil – For storing the pizzas in the freezer.

How To Make Homemade Frozen Pizza

1. First, you will need to get your crust ready. Either make your pitas or get out some storebought ones. Lay them out on cooking trays, it doesn’t matter if they are touching or not.
2. Next, you will need to prepare your sauce. If you want to make a barbeque pizza or chicken wing then take your meat of choice and mix half as much sauce with it as you have meat. After you put it on the pizza drizzle with more sauce if desired.
3. Spread the sauce, or sauce mixture over the pita evenly, leaving about a half inch on all sides for the crust. How much sauce you need will depend on the size of the pitas you are using and how much sauce you like on your pizza.
4. Add the cheese to your pizza. You don’t want to make the cheese too thick because you want it to stick to the sauce when you freeze it.

5. Put the toppings of your choice on top of the cheese.

6. Place the trays in the freezer and freeze for a few hours or overnight.

7. Remove from the freezer and wrap in saran wrap and tin foil and then place back in the freezer until you are ready to use them.

How To Bake Frozen Pizza

1. First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. While the oven is preheating, remove the pizza from the freezer and unwrap them.
3. Place the pizzas on cooking sheets

4. When the oven is heated place the trays of pizza on the middle rack in the oven.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until heated all the way through.

6. Cut, serve, and enjoy!

What To Serve With Frozen Pizza

• A large salad – We love to eat a salad with our pizza. Salad is light, pairs nicely with pizza, and helps round out the meal.
• Veggie sticks – Again, something light and adds some nutritional value to the meal.
• Potato Salad – This is a great side dish in the summer when it is warm outside and you want something cool with your meal.
