If you’re a pizza lover like myself, Friday night usually means a call to my nearest pizzeria to get a piping hot pie delivered to my house. With today being National Pizza Party Day, I decided to take my ‘za love and turn it up a notch by making homemade pies you can nosh on from your morning breakfast to your midnight snack. Sure, the traditional cheese-sauce-crust combo is delicious in and of itself, but I challenge you to try one of these special savory pizza recipes that will totally have your tastebuds tingling this foodie holiday!

One of the signature signs of summer starting is the grill being lit out back, and this Grilled Pizza from 101 Cookbooks allows you to bring your fave dish to the barbie. The delicious recipe combines thinly sliced caramelized fennel, kalamata olives (pitted please!) and grated Gruyère over a light layer of marinara sauce on flatbread. The slightly sweet taste of the Gruyère pairs well with the salty kalamata olives and the sweetness of the caramelized fennel, making your mouth water and want more! This recipe is perfect for a hot summer party—instead of heating up your kitchen with the oven, keep the heat outside where it should be!
