Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips

  • Add your favorite pizza toppings, such as pepperoncini peppers, mushrooms, deli-sliced ham, pineapple (if you dare!)
  • Make it “double tomato” and add chopped sundried tomatoes
  • Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for added heat
  • Substitute dried Italian seasoning for the dried oregano
  • Make with ground turkey in place of the ground beef

Pizza Recipes

Make these recipes as pizza for dinner or cut into bite size pieces and serve as appetizers. The choice is yours!

Spaghetti and Meatball Pizza and Buffalo Chicken Ranch Pizza

Did you know that you can have your spaghetti and meatballs and eat your pizza too with Deep Dish Spaghetti & Meatball Pizza?  The kids will love this pizza for sure!

And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Buffalo Ranch Chicken Pizza! Combining the flavors of Ranch and Buffalo, this pizza will certainly become a go-to favorite. So many pizzas, so little time!

Breakfast Pizza and Grilled Pesto Naan Pizza

And if you’re craving a pizza in the morning, make it a Smoked Mozzarella & Prosciutto Breakfast Pizza. These breakfast pizzas are made with store bought pizza crusts topped with pesto, prosciutto, smoked mozzarella and tomatoes, then with an egg, and baked in the oven.

Have you tried pesto on pizza yet? Grilled Pesto Caprese Naan Pizza made with the flavors of Caprese, the beloved combination of mozzarella, tomato and basil with balsamic vinegar, becomes an easy Meatless Monday meal or fabulous appetizer!

    On the 8th ingredient, in the recipe, I assume you mean “2 oz Pepperoni, thin sliced? It only says 2 oz, thin sliced.

    Hi Judy, thank you for pointing out that typo! I have corrected it and yes, it should read “thin-sliced pepperoni”. Thank you for stopping by Swirls! Happy cooking, Gwynn

    What are dimensions of unrolled pizza dough please? We can’t get it in Australia so I will have to use a bag of bought pizza dough. Many thanks, Donna from Adelaide

    Hi Donna, I apologize for the delay in getting back to you on the size of this product as I had to purchase it again to get a measurement for you. When the dough is unrolled out of the package it is approximately 10 inches by 15 inches. I hope you enjoy the recipe and would love to hear how it turns out for you. Thank you for following Swirls and Always Savor the Moment, Gwynn

    First ever Pinterest recipe that came out of my oven looking exactly like the photos! I credit your detailed instructions. It turned out to be perfect for my big crowd. I went full on meat lovers and used half ground sausage and half ground beef. Thank you!

    have you ever tried freezing this and baking later? my husband is a hunter and would love to take something like this to camp. thanks

    Hi Marie, I have not tested this recipe freezing it first. However, when thinking about storebought frozen pizzas, this might also work well being frozen and then baking directly from the freezer. But timing for baking it would be different than the timing of this recipe. Let me know if you give it a try! Savor The Moments, GG
