Trader Joe’s Dough

We don’t work for Trader Joe’s, and they’re not sponsoring this article. We just passionately believe that everyone should try making a pizza using their store-bought dough because it’s delicious and easy to implement.

Cheese Assortments

We encourage you to not just rely on the classic mozzarella cheese, although you really can’t go wrong with it. By all means, get mozzarella, but don’t be afraid to experiment with other varieties such as Gouda, Pepper Jack, Cheddar, and even Ricotta. And be generous when it comes to quantity!

Toppings Moderation

This is probably the most important lesson of all. Although we recommended to be generous with the cheese, do exactly the opposite with the toppings. Too many toppings (and too much variety) can actually take away from the taste of the dough, sauce, and cheese—and that’s the last thing you want.

Buying the Dough

Head to your nearest Trader Joe’s and pick up a pack of their fresh pizza dough. They offer a variety of options like classic white, whole wheat, or even gluten-free, so you can choose the one that suits your preferences.

Toppings and Cheese

Spread a generous amount of your favorite tomato sauce on the dough, then sprinkle on a layer of mozzarella cheese. Add your preferred combination of vegetables, and herbs. Don’t forget to sprinkle a dash of your favorite spices for that extra burst of flavor.

Baking the Pie

Preheat your oven and pop your pizza on a baking sheet or a pizza stone. Watch as the dough transforms into a golden, crispy crust and the cheese melts into a tantalizing blanket of gooey goodness. Once your homemade pizza is baked to perfection, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before eating. Enjoy!

In between munching on progressively hotter chicken wings, Kimmel revealed that the secret to a great pizza is to be “sparing with ingredients.” According to him, putting too much cheese or too much sauce on your pizza prevents the dough from cooking properly and leaves you with a less satisfying experience.

While it’s tempting to put extra of everything on pizza, Kimmel has a point here. When you overload your pizza, it needs more time to cook, and even then, it may be undercooked in the middle. Also, you risk burning your crust or having your pizza slices fall apart under the weight of toppings.

Kimmel also talked about some of his other cooking practices, including the perfect recipe for marinara sauce. You crush some garlic cloves in a pot and heat them on olive oil until golden brown. Then you remove the garlic and add Bianco DiNapoli canned tomatoes and salt. After bringing the tomatoes to a boil, you set them to simmer and throw in several basil leaves. Wait half an hour and “you got a great meal,” according to Kimmel.

Pizza Crust

There are a lot of options for the base of the pizza—the crust. You can use store-bought dough, premade baked crusts, pita, English muffins, or make your own dough. A delicious pizza starts with a tasty crust.

Pizza Sauces

While marinara sauce is traditional, you can take your pizza up a notch with white sauces, pesto sauces, or olive oil and garlic sauce.

Pizza Toppings

Get creative with the toppings. Sure you can include tomato sauce and pepperoni, but why not try apples and walnuts or figs and prosciutto?

Pizza Cheeses

Mozzarella, Fontina, and Parmesan are low moisture cheeses that work well on pizza. You should know that fresh mozzarella has a lot of water and it can result in a soggy pizza.

Cast Iron Pizza

Skipping the oven and using an iron skillet to bake your pizza is a game-changer. The crust will be pure perfection—and the top covered with layers of cheese is all you need.

Breakfast Pizza

Eggs, ham, cheese, and garlic are the ingredients of a delicious breakfast, but you can actually make a delightful homemade pizza using them.

Salad Pizza

Make a garlic-scented pizza crust and cover it with vegetables, use tomatoes, bibb lettuce, pickled onions, cabbage, and many more herbs to make this healthy pizza.

Sweet Pizza

Making pizza as a dessert is an amazing challenge. Cover that crust with bananas and chocolate, and whipped cream on the top to get this delightful dessert.
