Flatbread Pizza
David Chang and Priya Krishna are all about the no-recipe recipe, so beware— there’s no specifics on how much of each ingredient to add. This pizza recipe from their Cooking at Home book is worth every bite of salty, crunchy pepperoni and delicious dough.

Tomato, Bacon and Blue Cheese Pan Pizza
Camilla Wynne shared this recipe in our magazine after experimenting with no-knead pizza dough during the many Covid lockdowns. She ended up making a deep-dish version of a pizza she loved from New York, but says you shouldn’t be afraid to buy store-bought dough if it will save you time.

Grilled Potato, Leek & Gorgonzola Flatbread Pizza
From Trish Magwood’s 2021 book My New Table, this flatbread is all about making quick, easy and delicious pizza. Trish says she’ll often use pre-made naan or frozen dough for the crust, and invites her guests to get creative with their pizza toppings.

Cauliflower Pizza With Mozzarella, Kale & Lemon
Anything that comes from Australian food personality Donna Hay’s kitchen is a treat for the senses, and this healthy and hearty pizza is no exception. The cauliflower crust is a great gluten-free alternative!

Squash, Provolone & Sage Pizza
The piquant cheese tempers the butternut’s sweetness, while earthy sage ties the flavors together. Other sharper cheeses, such as Gruyère or Italian Fontina, can be used instead of provolone.

Roman-Style Puttanesca Pizza
It’s hard to believe a cheeseless pizza can be this good. A thin crust topped with olives, capers and anchovies, it’s the perfect predinner pie. White anchovies (or boquerones) are cured in vinegar then packed in oil. They’re far less salty than typical anchovies and can be found at better fishmongers.

Rapini & Sausage Pizza
This stunning white pizza is piled with bitter greens, spicy sausage, sharp onion and fiery chilies. If you’re a vegetarian, substituting eight pitted black olives for the sausage will yield equally delicious results.

Margherita Pizza
The queen of pizzas features vibrant tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella and a licorice whip of basil. Fresh mozzarella is not ideal for this recipe, as it will become too watery as it heats. Low-moisture melts slower and has just the right texture.

Smoked Scamorza, Bresaola & Arugula Pizza
This tomato-and-cheese disc is topped with a superb salad of cured beef, peppery leaves and shaved Parmigiano. Bresaola is salt-cured beef tenderloin, which can be found at Italian delis and gourmet food shops. Prosciutto, speck or fennel salami would all work well in its place.

Grape Tomato & Ricotta Cream Roman-Style Pizza
One of the charming qualities of many Roman-style pizzas is that they can be topped after they come out of the oven and can be served both hot or cold. This pizza takes advantage of the refreshing flavor contrast created by the cooked tomatoes and melted cheese and the topping of freshly dressed greens and soft ricotta cream.

Pizza With Pesto & Fresh Mozzarella
“Pizza night is always popular at my house,” says chef Chuck Hughes. “I have a four- and six-year-old, so when the pandemic hit, every second day was pizza night! We made it inside, outside in the rain, on a boat, and for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is the kids’ version, perfected over months of delicious confinement.”

Farm Stand Peach Pizza
This pie is the epitome of summer with fresh peaches, zucchini, tomatoes and squash. Salty feta and white cheddar cheese take it to the next level!

Grilled Flatbread With Parsley Pesto, Tomatoes & Goat Cheese
Chewy, smoky and piled with fresh bounty, this pizza rustica from chef Lynn Crawford takes the edge off during cocktail hour. This recipe calls for fresh pizza dough, which is generally sold in 1 1⁄2-lb. bags — just divide the dough into three and freeze one of the portions for another use.
