Meatball Pizza is a kid friendly alternative with fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, and hidden veggie meatballs.

Meatball Pizza is a kid friendly alternative with fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, and hidden veggie meatballs.

I was talking with my husband about dinners and what we wanted on the meal plan for that particular week.  He chimes in about wanting pizza and I mentioned that we had just had it a week or so before and he countered back with a “yeah, so?” I reminded him of how he had told me he got tired of having the same thing too frequently and then he told me that it doesn’t apply to pizza.  What?!  Now you tell me!  We’ve only been married for almost 9 years.  SMH!

After that conversation all of the pizza ideas I have had floating around needed to be made.  So we’re going to end up having pizza almost every week this month. And I am so excited!

I wanted to try to do something new with my favorite meatball other than the Healthy Meatball Sandwiches we often do or spaghetti and meatballs.  So we thought it would be perfect on a pizza.  My kids were a bit wary of trying a pizza other than cheese or pepperoni but I was really hopeful they might like the meatball one.  It was a hit with both, thank goodness!

You’ll only need 5 or 6 meatballs per pizza so save the rest for those meatball sandwiches!  They freeze wonderfully!

      So true! There must be something magical about the bread, sauce, cheese, toppings combo.
