Gourmet Pizza Recipes : Hawaiian Pizza & Italian Pizza

Today I’m sharing two gourmet pizza recipes including Hawaiian pizza & Italian pizza. Everyone loves pizza so why serve only one type? Create different combinations with different flavor profiles for a complete party menu. Or include Italian pizza in some Italian themed dinner party ideas for home entertaining. These two pizza recipes are sure to please!

I served these for my Pizza Party shoot along with our favorite Mediterranean style from our local pizzeria. These two pizzas are so easy to prepare there’s no reason not to serve them both for any casual party at home. You may want to add this gourmet Italian pizza to the menu as well.

The Hawaiian pizza can be served for a pizza party or for a tropical themed party too!

Hawaiian Pizza

Refrigerated Pizza dough – thin crust

tomato sauce {I use a basic pasta sauce}

Ham slices – diced

Small can Pineapple tidbits – drained and patted dry

Green Pepper – diced

Shredded cheddar cheese

Roll out pizza dough onto baking sheet and partially cook it according to package directions. Spread tomato sauce over partially cooked crust and sprinkle on remaining ingredients. Continue baking until cheese is melted and crust is golden.

Italian Pizza

Refrigerated Pizza dough – thin crust

Small jar of prepared Pesto

Cherry tomatoes – sliced

Shredded Italian cheese blend

Roll out dough onto baking sheet and partially cook according to package directions. Spread pesto onto partially cooked crust, and add remaining ingredients. Continue cooking until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
