I’m mixing things up today! I know 99% of you are here for home decor and design posts, but I’ve been hoarding some recipes I wanted to share with you today.Now that the weather has changed and we’re nearing summertime, we’ve been talking more about pizza night, homemade flatbreads on the weekends, plucking herbs from the garden, and eating al fresco on the patio. I live for those warm weekend nights… homemade pizza, a glass of wine, cold beer, or a co*cktail in hand, all while relaxing & unwinding outside. It’s the simple things… and tomorrow is Friday, so you know what that means! I know many of you have a similar tradition, as we always wish each other a “happy pizza Friday!” If you’re looking to start a summer tradition of your own, you’re going to want to save some of these delicious recipes! Click through to see 12 pizza & flatbread recipes we’re going to cycle through and try this season…
#1 // Southwest BBQ Chicken Pizza
The first recipe is my own. It’s a go-to favorite we have multiple times each summer… what’s not to love about a good barbecue pizza bursting with flavor? This one is really filling, too!

#2 // Fig Jam Prosciutto Pizza
I have a major sweet tooth, so any pizza with fig, jam, or honey is going to be delicious in my book! This one seems fresh and flavorful for spring. I also enjoy a pizza topped with greens, and arugula is my favorite.

#3 // Spinach & Artichoke Pizza with Cheesy Bread Crust
Cheesy bread crust?! That’s honestly all I needed to hear. Spinach, artichokes, and cheese is always a winning combination. This pizza looks divine- the presentation is really lovely.

#4 // Heirloom Tomato Pesto Pan Pizza
Pan pizzas are becoming a fun way to mix things up around here… they provide a nice thick crust and are easy to make. Pesto, tomatoes, and mozzarella are classics that are always a hit in our house!

#5 // Crispy Fried Pizza
How have I not tried making a pan fried pizza? I’m convinced this is going to be amazing and can’t wait to pull out my cast iron. I think we’ll stick with the classic marinara, cheese, and basil toppings for this one! Have you ever fried a pizza?

#6 //Caramelized Onion, Bacon, and Gruyere Pizza
Any food with caramelized onion is a win for me… I put onion on everything! This simple pizza seems like it will be another summer staple for us, and I have a sneaking suspicion we’ll be adding this one to the regular rotation.

#7 // Butternut Squash Veggie Pizza
This is technically considered a fall pizza, but I love squash and veggies! I’ve had this one saved for awhile and I’m determined to make it this summer. Based on the ingredient list, I know it will be packed with flavor!

#8 // Cheese, Radicchio, Onion, & Honey Pizza Flatbread
Honey and onion… you know where I’m going with this one. Ha! This is my kind of sweet pizza. Although, I’d substitute the blue cheese for goat cheese… that’s more my speed.

#9 // Buffalo Cauliflower Pizza with Roasted Onion Cream
Do you like buffalo sauce? I like a little heat and buffalo has always been a go-to flavor in our house. This is actually a vegan pizza! I’m going to make this one, share it with Emmett, and I’m guessing he won’t be able to tell the difference. It looks delicious!

#10 // Heirloom Tomato Flatbread
This recipe is another from my own collection. We make flatbreads all the time during the summer months. They’re quick, easy, and we’re able to grab tomatoes straight from our garden. Is there anything better than arugula, balsamic, mozzarella, pine nuts, and mozzarella? I think not.

#11 // Lemon Ricotta Herbed Flatbread
This flatbread recipe is one I tried last year and really enjoyed! We mix up a lot of lemon ricotta at our house- it has the best fresh flavor for summer.

#12 // Grilled Peach Caprese Naan Pizza
Last, I’ll leave you with this grilled peach caprese flatbread recipe. It’s drizzled with a balsamic glaze and looks heavenly. It’s topped with basil ribbons and I know it would taste as goods as it looks. This is another one I’m really excited to try!

Of course we also make a lot of classic options… we devour plenty of pepperoni and margherita pizzas, but it will be fun to get more creative and try some of these outside-the-box recipes this summer. Do you make homemade pizza or flatbread often? Do you order pizza often? It definitely feels like a weekend food to me, and our tradition has become something I very much look forward to each Friday. I’d actually love to install a pizza oven in our backyard someday. I hope you were able to save some recipes and enjoyed this abnormal food post! I wanted to make it live before tomorrow… which happens to be pizza Friday! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see you back here on Monday.
