We\u2019ve tested on multiple kids in our lives, and they\u2019re 100% in love with this cheese pizza. Here\u2019s what makes this cheese pizza better than your normal delivery pizza:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5-minute pizza sauce.<\/strong> Have you made our classic easy pizza sauce? It\u2019s a fan favorite recipe and you\u2019ll be amazed at home much flavor it has! Whiz up canned fire roasted tomatoes with garlic, olive oil, and oregano in a blender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Both shredded and fresh mozzarella.<\/strong> What\u2019s on the cheesiest of cheese pizzas? Shredded mozzarella <em>and<\/em> fresh mozzarella! The fresh cheese makes it seriously gooey, and the shredded is the glue that sticks it all together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The best pizza dough. <\/strong>This pizza dough recipe is the best on the internet (we think!). Alex and I perfected it after over 10 years of researching tricks from artisan pizza makers.

These two tools have been indispensable in our homemade pizza making game. Here\u2019s what Alex and I recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pizza stone:<\/strong> A pizza stone is what makes Italian pizza crust crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Here\u2019s the best pizza stone\u00a0we\u2019ve found, and a bit more on\u00a0pizza stone care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pizza peel:\u00a0<\/strong>What\u2019s a pizza peel? It\u2019s a paddle used to slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone in the oven. We recommend this\u00a0Standard pizza peel\u00a0or this\u00a0Conveyor pizza peel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img class=\"wp-image-40809 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cheese-Pizza-Better-Than-Delivery-005-800x1000.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cheese-Pizza-Better-Than-Delivery-005.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cheese-Pizza-Better-Than-Delivery-005-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cheese-Pizza-Better-Than-Delivery-005-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.acouplecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cheese-Pizza-Better-Than-Delivery-005-735x919.jpg 735w\" alt=\"Cheese pizza\" data-pin-description=\"Why order out when you can make a stellar cheese pizza at home?

We make it using stand mixer, but you can also knead it by hand.<\/li>\n<li>Easy Thin Crust is similar but makes a thinner dough that you roll out \u2014 it would also work well here!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The easiest way to learn how to make pizza dough? By watching someone do it! While we can\u2019t come to your kitchen, here\u2019s the next best option: a video! This step-by-step video shows Alex making pizza dough, from kneading to shaping. It\u2019s\u00a0<em>so\u00a0<\/em>helpful, and takes less than 2 minutes to watch.

They absolutely loved it! We served it with carrot sticks and the healthy ranch dressing below (and Strawberry Daiquiris for the adults!). Here are a few great sides to go with pizza:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy Arugula Salad The simplest salad you\u2019ll ever make! It\u2019s fool-proof: you don\u2019t even need to make dressing.<\/li>\n<li>Spinach Apple Salad stars a creamy balsamic dressing, glazed pecans, and apple and pear slices. No one will believe it took minutes to put together.<\/li>\n<li>Healthy Ranch Dressing Serve it with veggie sticks!

(If you don\u2019t have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see\u00a0How to Stretch Pizza Dough\u00a0for instructions.\u00a0Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Spread the pizza sauce over the dough using the back of a spoon to create a thin layer. Add the pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese evenly across the dough, then top with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle evenly with the garlic powder, dried oregano, and a few pinches of\u00a0kosher salt.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven).
