DIY Homemade Frozen Pizza

Homemade DIY Frozen Pizzas that are convenient and ready when you need them.
DIY Frozen Pizzas MOMables.com
There is just something about pizza. It is oh-so-good. We love pizza in our family and have it at least once a week. Pizza is our favorite quick meal that we can just throw together and bake.

I must confess, even making a simple pizza seems stressful on those long days. And while occasionally we will order out some pizza, I always end up feeling like we overpaid for something I could make even better at home.

Enter in frozen pizzas. Frozen pizzas are a lifesaver sometimes! Just pop it out of the freezer, into the oven, and done! Dinner is done with little to no prep, and the kitchen is not a mess!

As a busy mom, that is music to my ears. And while frozen boxed pizzas can be delicious, there is just something special about homemade pizza.

Homemade-DIY-Frozen-Pizzas

When you eat a homemade pizza, you can taste the fresh, real ingredients and no artificial flavors or preservatives. Whether you have food allergies to consider or because everyone likes their own separate toppings, you also get to tailor your pizza to your own needs at home. But making a pizza for pizza night from scratch is not that convenient during busy days.

I always like to have a few ready-made meals in our freezer for those days when no one wants to cook or we have a very busy schedule—and these DIY Frozen Pizzas are perfect!

By par-baking your pizza dough for 3 to 5 minutes before freezing, you ensure that your crust will stay crispy even after being in the freezer.

These DIY Frozen Pizzas can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months. My daughter likes to help me make a few pizzas together to then freeze. It is a great way to get her involved in the kitchen.

Have leftover pizzas? Pack them for lunch.

      Hi Richard, the recipe directions show you how to do this. Just freeze the entire pizza on a baking sheet before wrapping it with plastic wrap and sealing in a large zip bag. It will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months.

      Hi Marissa, I can’t tell a difference when it’s been frozen.

    Can I make this and instead of freezing it, refrigerate it for a day?

    Do you need to blanch the veggies/peppers before you freeze it, or does it not make a difference in this case?

    Yumm! How awesome is it that you can make your own frozen pizza with this recipe instead of buying store bought and you have no idea whats in it.

      Thanks Tiffany! That is exactly why we love making our own frozen pizzas — fresh ingredients and no preservatives. It has become our go to meal! :)

        Is there a reason you use tomato sauce instead of a pizza sauce or add a little spice perhaps to it?? I keep thinking and that just doesn’t sound very tasty???

          My apologies. Pizza sauce/tomato sauce/marinara sauce… in my house they are somewhat the same. I did not mean tomato sauce from the can with no spices. Use your favorite pizza sauce.
