As you know, I love homemade pizza and we eat a lot of it around here. I almost always make my own…with the exception of buying a few from Schwan’s every month.

I love their pizzas and I’ve been buying them for a long time, but I’ve been working on reducing our ever-growing grocery bill and I realized that I spend quite a bit of money on frozen pizza.

Specifically, frozen cheese pizza…which I can totally make myself, right?

I do it all the time for dinner – so why not make some for lunches, too?

Making homemade pizza is a great way to reduce your grocery bill two-fold.

You’re no longer buying frozen pizza at the grocery store and you always have something ready to pull out of the freezer for lunch or dinner, reducing your takeout bill each month, too!

So, instead of wasting your money on frozen cheese pizza and takeout – give this recipe a try – you’ll never need to go back in the freezer section again.
