You’re not expanding your taste for pizza until you’ve tried one from our list of different pizza styles you need to try making. Come check it out!

What is your favorite type of pizza? Stop buying frozen pizza from the store or a chain restaurant, and start making your own! Our list of the different styles we think you need to try making will have your mouth watering by the end.

4 Pizza Styles You Have to Try

Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza

You can’t have a conversation about pizzas without mentioning the famous deep-dish pizza invented in the windy city of Chicago! This type of pizza is unlike any you’ve tried before—you literally place the ingredients in backward order. A deep-dish pizza consists of a thicker crust with edges, much like a pie. First, you place your cheese onto the dough, then toppings, and finish the pizza with a whole can of crushed tomatoes. Don’t let your friends tell you it’s a casserole because this is one of the tastiest pizzas out there!

Wood-Fired Pizza

When you want to step outside your comfort zone, you might consider a wood-fired pizza. Yes, we mean using cooking wood. This wood will cook your pizza and add a subtle smoky flavor to the pie! However, ensure you choose cooking woods that make for delicious wood-fired pizzas, such as pecan wood. Not every wood species is best for cooking pizza, so be mindful of what you decide to cook with. Who knows, maybe your family will fall in love with this new method of cooking their favorite meal.

California-Style Pizza

Most pizzas differentiate themselves by the type of crust, but this different pizza style you need to try making is all about the ingredients and toppings! California gravitates toward more veggie-dense or healthier foods because many of the residents in the metropolitan areas are either vegetarian, vegan, or more health-conscious. You make this style of pie the same way as regular pizza, but the toppings could include avocado, arugula, pesto, smoked salmon, etc.

Sicilian Pizza

We can’t list the ultimate pizzas to try without including at least one pie you cut into squares. The crust on this pizza is thick and pillowy, and you can serve it with or without cheese! Typically, the cheese is the first layer of ingredients to prevent the pie from getting soggy from the tomato sauce. Sicilian pizzas are large, cut into squares, and perfect for large family gatherings!

What type of person doesn’t like pizza? A weirdough, that’s who! Stop making the same pizzas over and over again—and stop buying them from the store! Next time it’s pizza night in your house, consider making your own homemade pie and use one of our favorites from this list!
