Pizza night is a favorite at our house. It’s the one thing that I know is sure to be greeted with cheers by everyone in our house.
When it comes to making the pizza, we make it a family event and everyone has their own task. My kiddos help me add the ingredients for the dough and my husband is in charge of shaping it onto the pizza pan.
Oxo recently sent me this new Non-Stick Pizza Pan and we are completely smitten. Our pizza usually sticks when we used our previous pizza pan but with Oxo’s micro-textured pattern, it helps to improve airflow for even baking and everything slides off easily.
We decided to switch things up from our usual and made this Easy Margherita Pizza.
I used Oxo’s Complete Grate & Slice Set which includes coarse and medium grating and straight and julienne slicing surfaces. I just loved how easily and evenly it sliced the tomatoes and Mozzarella Cheese.
Finally, this 4″ Pizza Wheel was such a joy to use. It’s made from clear plastic that prevents cheese from sticking and won’t damage non-stick pans.
This pizza was fresh, flavorful and baked up perfectly! My husband would happily eat pizza every day of the week if he could and all of these tools definitely helped to make pizza night another success.
