15 Homemade Pizza Recipes for Sunday’s Big Game

Got pizza? If it’s Super Bowl Sunday, the answer for most people is probably yes. In case you didn’t know, more pizzas are delivered the day of the big game than any other day of the year. That may sound really exciting and delicious, but it can also mean outrageously long delivery times and way too many calories to count.

While there are strategies to make eating pizza healthier, the best way to tackle your diet game plan without totally spiraling out of control during Super Bowl parties is to make your own pizzas. Not only do you avoid delivery fees, but you also get to have the pizza exactly the way you want it when you want it.

In fact, there are so many different ways to enjoy the massively popular food that we recommend going all out and pizza-fying your entire game day menu — from appetizers to dessert! Kick off your Super Bowl recipe playbook with these 15 homemade pizza recipes.
