You could order delivery, or you could churn out pizzas in your very own kitchen. From artisan Neapolitan-style pizza to weeknight-friendly pies that come together in under an hour, we have a recipe — and pizza style! — for every baker.
Some of these recipes come together in just a few hours, while others might require longer fermentation or an overnight rest. We’ve included the total time so you can pick the recipe based on your pizza schedule.
1) Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza
Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza, our 2019 Recipe of the Year, deserves a spot in the pizza hall of fame. Made from a simple dough that comes together with just a few folds, it features edge-to-edge melted cheese and a super crisp bottom (which is why we highly recommend baking in a cast iron skillet!). Plus, it can be made gluten-free with just a few adjustments.

4) Artisan No-Knead Pizza Crust

Make thick, frico-edged Detroit-style pan pizza without cranking up the oven indoors. For even more tips, watch our YouTube video with Martin. (And if you don’t have a pizza oven, our home oven recipe for Detroit Pizza is also excellent.)

This staple of South Shore Massachusetts taverns and dives is known for its ultra-thin crust and a generous layer of sauce and cheese that stretches all the way to the edge, creating a crisp, caramelized border.
