Build Your Pizza Bar for a Fun Family Meal
Build Your Pizza Bar
On pizza night … we were using some leftovers and homemade ingredients.
Use up those leftovers and create a Pizza night your Family will love. They can make their own and get creative to try new things. So if you plan your meals for the week and have a pasta night a few nights before, it works out great. Because I like to space out Italian food a couple of days apart, this helps to use up those little bits of leftovers you may have had.
What you need to build a pizza bar:
Rhodes rolls
Homemade Alfredo sauce recipe here
Homemade marinara or your favorite Jar
Asparagus (leftovers)
Sautés Mushrooms (leftovers)
Ham ( leftover Easter) That I had thrown in the freezer
Fresh sliced tomatoes
Mozzarella, Asiago, Romano, Parmesan cheese (leftover from this week’s Fettuccine night)
Chopped Garlic
Fresh Rosemary
Fresh Basil
Green onions
Olives
Italian seasonings
Garlic powder
Onion salt
Sea Salt
Balsamic glaze or vinegar
Olive oil
Preheat oven to 425 unless you have a pizza oven. We cook them for 10 or 12 minutes, depending on the range! It also depends on how crispy you like your pizza.
Tip using Rhodes Rolls to make the mini Pizzas.
These make individual mini pizzas. Ensure you do enough rolls per person; I did 2-3 per person. (for the rolls, follow the directions on the bag) Then after they’ve risen all day, each person flattens and pulls theirs out to shape and top with desired toppings. Some family members made little calzone instead of a mini pizza.
Building the Pizza Bar
Part of Building Your Own Pizza Bar’s fun is getting as creative as possible and trying different things on your pizza. My Family loves this interactive meal; it’s fun to hear them chat, joke, and talk their way through creating their pizzas.

Do you use the regular Rhodes dinner rolls or the Texas size rolls?
Just Regular Rhodes dinner rolls…They make a great individual pizza (I normally do 3 each for guys and two for the ladies) the texas size would be great too. I might try those next time and see how those work out. We do this so so many fun events! Found everyone likes to try different ones and its fun to great creative.
