Throw the Ultimate Kids' Pizza Party

A little creativity and some tasty toppings turn pizza-making into all-ages fun.

This post is brought to you in partnership with Flatout Flatbread.

The pizza party is a time-honored kid tradition, an easy way to feed a crowd with everyone’s favorite food. Pizza is infinitely customizable, making it easy to accommodate even the pickiest eaters, and it’s handheld for maximum fun! But why order delivery when you can throw a DIY pizza party that will unleash their creative, messy side safely (with delicious results!). Plus, making pizza at home is a great way to introduce kids to cooking, an activity that helps promote a lifetime of healthy eating.

With Flatout’s artisan pizza crusts, the only advance work to be done to throw the ultimate pizza bash is slicing up the toppings. Set up stations for each pizza recipe, with bowls of sauce, cheese, and toppings in the middle. Each kid gets his own crust, and The kids will have a blast putting together their own individual masterpieces, and the only adult supervision they’ll need is someone to put their finished creations into the oven.

Try these recipes for three different crowd-pleasing combinations and make your next pizza party a culinary grand slam.

Rainbow Pizza

An array of good-for-you toppings in all the colors of the rainbow is a fun way to get them to eat their veggies. Lay them out on a sauce-topped crust in ROYGBV stripes or mix it up, for those who like to color outside the lines.

Positano Pizza

In the Amalfi Coast town of Positano, street vendors sell this unusually topped pizza, a favorite among late-night revelers and kids alike. Sliced hot dogs and French fries will delight even the pickiest pizzaiolos.

S’mores Pizza

What could be better than pizza for dessert? Gooey marshmallow cream and graham cracker crumbs on a chocolate-topped pizza crust call up serious campfire memories without the open flame.
