8 Fun Alternatives for Family Pizza Night

I'm disappointed that you didn't list "make your own pizza" first! For that matter you left it as an after thought under Pie Crust. Pizza is one of the cheapest per serving meals in our house! If I make my dough it's pennies a serving. It's my favorite "busy day" meal. I have all the toppings already prepped in most cases. I mix the dough ingredients in the morning, let my stand mixer handle all the kneading, pop it in the refrigerator for hours (or days) while I'm busy. When I'm ready to start dinner I've shaped and topped the dough before the oven has even finished preheating... it's even faster if I grill it instead of bake it!

Right on about the Pie Shells. We actually purchase ours online from Rizzuto's Pizza Night, costs about 6 bucks a shell and that includes the sauce, shipped to my door!

Sharon has pulled together some fantastic ideas!
My husband and I used to get pizza every Friday night spending about $24 each time. Our favorite pizza parlor started a 1/2 off on Wednesdays campaign. We switched our Pizza Night from Friday's to Wednesdays and now spend just $12 on a treat that we both really look forward to.
