Make Your Own Pizza Buddies - Kid Approved

A fun, kid-friendly pizza night with Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Pizza night just got a whole lot more creative! Whether you're cooking with kids, hosting a make-your-own pizza party, or simply looking for a fun family dinner idea, Pizza Buddies are an easy way to turn Milton’s Four Cheese Cauliflower Crust Pizza into a hands-on activity everyone will love.

With crisp, flavorful cauliflower crusts and plenty of toppings to choose from, each person can design their own “pizza face” before baking. It’s a fun way to let everyone show off their inner chef, and sneak a few extra veggies into dinner, too.

Recipe Ingredients

• 1 Milton’s Four Cheese Cauliflower Crust Pizza
• Assorted toppings, such as:
• Mini or regular pepperoni slices
• Sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, and green for color!)
• Sliced black olives
• Shredded carrots
• Sliced zucchini or mushrooms
• Halved cherry tomatoes
• Sliced onions or fresh basil for garnish
• Optional drizzle: honey or olive oil
• Optional sprinkle: dried Italian herbs or red pepper flakes

Recipe Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and remove all packaging from the pizza.
2. Set up your topping bar. Lay out bowls of toppings so everyone can customize their own “pizza face.” Use veggies, pepperoni, or olives for eyes, mouths, and accessories.
3. Get creative. Encourage the kids to try new ingredients, maybe a green pepper mustache or a tomato sliced smile!
4. Bake directly on the oven rack for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
5. Add a finishing touch. Once baked, drizzle lightly with honey or olive oil and sprinkle with herbs.
6. Let cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for Fun Pizza Buddies

• Turn it into a theme night. Play your favorite playlist, grab some aprons, and make it a weekly family tradition. You can even take turns choosing the theme. From “Crazy Topping Night” to “Under the Sea” or “Veggie Garden Party.” Let everyone decorate their pizza face to match the theme, then vote on the funniest, most creative, or most colorful design.
• Go seasonal. Switch up your toppings to match the time of year. Use red and green veggies for the holidays, heart-shaped pepperoni for Valentine’s Day, or mini jack-o’-lantern for spooky Halloween pizzas. It’s an easy way to celebrate each season and get the kids excited to help in the kitchen.
• Add a creative challenge. See who can make the silliest pizza face or create a pizza version of their favorite character. Give each “chef” a few new-to-them ingredients to experiment with. You might discover a new favorite combo!
• Set up a pizza bar. Turn your kitchen counter into a topping station with bowls of colorful ingredients. Include everything from classics like pepperoni and olives to fun additions like pineapple, spinach, or roasted veggies.
