Easy Specialty Pizza in Minutes

I’m going to share with you how easy it is to get great pizza on the table in minutes.  

Easy Specialty Pizza in Minutes

These are perfect for appetizers for game day,

weeknight dinners,

or an after school snack.

I gathered the ingredients I needed to make 5 pizzas and they were done in about 5 minutes.

Yes, it goes that quick once you gathered your ingredients.

I made lots of favorites, Pepperoni Pizza, Hawaiian, BBQ Chicken Pizza, Mushroom and Onion Pizza and my favorite Thai Peanut Pizza.

Below you will also find a video on how to make the Thai Peanut Pizza.

These pizzas are great for all sorts of get-togethers, and when you need to feed people fast…

it’s great to have go-to ideas that are easy.

These easy specialty pizzas start with Naan bread. Naan is an oven baked flat bread and is readily available in grocery and warehouse stores.

I shopped at Sams Club and was happy to see they had Naan along with other items I needed to make these pizzas.

It’s all about tradition on game day, right?

If you favorite team is playing, you may wear your favorite shirt or hat to root them on, if you’re playing a game, well maybe you go so far as to not wash certain items so as to not, get rid of the magic that the item seems to hold.

Whatever the case in our house, pizza is our traditional go-to item.

I mix Ragu® Sauce with other ingredients to create some fun flavored sauces for these pizzas and everyone loved them.

TIPs on making great Naan Pizza

• Saute onions and mushrooms with a tablespoon wine for delicious flavor.
