dessert pizza recipes

There are many ways to enjoy a great dessert pizza. Deep dish or flatbread, healthy or indulgent — you can even hack a two-ingredient crust! We just don't give enough credit to the endless possibilities. You can top them with seasonal fruit, drizzle them with caramel or chocolate and, of course, invite your favorite candy to the pizza party.

Any way you slice it, dessert pizzas are out of this world and we just cannot get enough. Want to try one? Here are some great dessert pizza recipes to get you started on your path to sweet pizza serenity.

​What is dessert pizza made of?

Dessert pizza is made up of sweet toppings and cream cheese or a sugar spread. It swaps the usual tomato sauce and pepperoni for sweet alternatives, and it's delicious!

What is the best dessert to go with pizza?

We love eating ice cream or some chocolate after we finish a slice of pizza. Sorbet or even a plain piece of fruit is another good option if you want something sweet, but light.

What dessert can be made from pizza dough?

You can use pizza dough for cinnamon rolls, monkey bread, or babka.

Winter is undoubtedly here (boo, snow and cold!), but a whole new wave of weather means it’s time to step up not only your layering game, but your shoe game, too. From stylish tall boots to cozy lined house shoes, these 5 types of winter shoes are simply the perfect pairs to get you through the season in style.

Check out the 5 must-have winter shoe styles to keep your winter wardrobe looking and feeling fresh this year!

Free People

Frye Campus 14L Boots

1. Tall boots

Tall boots are just that girl when it comes to winter outfits. They truly wear well alone, but for wintertime, they look especially stunning when you layer ‘em up with leggings or tights.

Free People

Jeffrey Campbell Katrina Pull-On Tall Boots

There are quite a few variations in design when it comes to tall boots, so you could snag them in a moto, cowboy boot, or sleek style.

Tecovas

Tecovas The Abby Boots

Whatever tall boot style speaks to you the most and will be most practical for your needs will be perfect!

Blundstone

Blundstone All-Terrain Thermal Chelsea Boots

2. Snow boots

Snow boots are honestly non-negotiable if you live somewhere, well, snowy.

Nordstrom

Sorel Tivoli V Faux Fur Lined Waterproof Boots

Snow boots are designed with the cold in mind, so they’re often expertly insulated and boast reliable textured soles that won’t fail you on slippery ice.

Nordstrom

Hunter Amble Booties

Sorel, UGG, Hunter, and Blundstone make some of my favorite snow boots since they still look effortlessly stylish, all while keeping your feet safe and warm!

SeaVees

SeaVees Bodega Clogs

3. Clogs

Where would I be without my clogs?! Seriously – they’re super helpful if I need to run a quick errand or take my dog for a brief walk outside. The best part about clogs is they’re extremely easy to put on and take off – no time for traditional laces over here!

I thoroughly enjoy this gardening-inspired pair from SeaVees because the soles are fitted with a good amount of traction to keep me from slip-sliding when I have to go out in the snow. They’re also waterproof, keeping my feet dry with every step.

Nordstrom

Chaco Ramble Water Resistant Puffer Clogs

Puffer styles like these are especially great if more warmth is what you’re seeking this season.

DSW

Chaco Paonia Clogs

I also can’t recommend these Chacos clogs enough, since they’re remarkably durable and perfect for year-round wear.

Adidas

Adidas Samba OG Shoes

4. Reliable sneakers

Sneakers are a must no matter the season, but having a pair for winter can really depend on your season-specific needs. Whether it’s a running sneaker that’s primed for the gym’s treadmills or a more fashion-forward design that you want to rock with all of your ‘going out’ outfits, there’s a winter sneaker for everyone.

New Balance

New Balance 530 Sneakers

I tend to shop sneakers for winter in more toned-down color palettes, since I typically wear more monochromatic ‘fits when the weather’s gloomy. I really adore my New Balance 530's since I can easily take them from a workout to a night out.

Nordstrom

UGG Disquette Slippers

5. Cozy house shoes

Finally, cozy house shoes should be a given when it comes to winter. I surely spend more time at home around this time of year, and when I’m hibernating, my toes get annoyingly cold! I know I'm not the only one, too.

Amazon

Dearfoams Chloe Soft Knit Clog Slippers

That’s where a good slipper or house shoe comes in – they exist to protect your feet from the elements, ensuring you stay cozy all season long.

Pizza is such a big part of our lives. It's the ultimate sharing meal, a great reheated lunch, and the perfect rat snack when eaten cold. TBH, we’re always looking for ways to get it in our mouths faster. Sure, you could make naan pizza, which swaps out homemade dough for pre-made Indian flatbread, or personal pizzas, which cook to perfection in a cast-iron skillet, but sometimes, the convenience of frozen pizzas just can’t be beat.

Considering that more Americans prefer frozen, ready-to-bake-at-home pizza (30%) than they do fresh pizza from a restaurant (26%) or even delivery pizza (16%), per OnePollon behalf of Amazon Fresh, frozen pizzas are unarguably the winning choice.

When your cheese cravings are through the roof and your motivation to cook is sorely lacking, there are tons of different options for frozen pizzas to choose from at the store. These are a handful of our favorites — a far cry from the rectangular cardboard slabs you grew up eating.

DiGiorno Rising Crust Pizza

The average person can eat over half of an entire pizza by themselves in a single sitting, per OnePoll on behalf of Amazon Fresh. That's exactly how we feel about this frozen pizza that beats all other frozen pizzas.

DiGiorno may not seem like a totally high-end offering, but honestly, this freezer aisle mainstay knows what it’s doing. From the tender-yet-crispy crust to the tangy-sweet sauce and the gooey cheese that actually has flavor, there’s a reason why this brand ranks high in terms of the best frozen piizza, time and again. Additionally, the flavors stay so intact when you eat this baby cold.

Newman’s Own Uncured Pepperoni Thin & Crispy Pizza

This frozen pizza pie gets a big hit of smokey, meaty flavor thanks to the uncured pepperoni, which is made without any artificial nitrates and nitrites. The multigrain crust is reliably crisp, and the blend of melty mozzarella and flavorful Parmesan gives the pizza a nice balance. Eat it cold, too, and you'll think this is the best frozen pizza around.

The Screamin’ Sicilian Supreme Frozen Pizza

If you like loaded pizzas and have a hefty appetite, this is the frozen pizza for you! The pepperoni is roughly chopped, giving the pie a heartier texture. It's joined by Italian sausage, onions, and bell peppers that are fire-roasted to further deepen their flavor, and black olives to add a salty kick. It’s all held together with whole-milk mozzarella, which adds a richness that’s absent from a lot of other brands that use part-skim cheese.

California Pizza Kitchen Crispy Thin Crust Margherita Pizza

California Pizza Kitchen’s Margherita Pizza isn’t exactly traditional, but it does have a nice fresh tomato flavor that a lot of other frozen pizzas can’t seem to nail down. The basil reads as dried rather than fresh, but overall, this thin-crust pie satisfies on those nights when you’re looking for something a little lighter than a thick and hearty frozen pizza. Join the 18% of people that like to eat pizza cold, and give this delish pie a try after it's been in the fridge all night.

Amy’s Vegan Roasted Vegetable Pizza

If you’re eating dairy-free, it can be tempting to go for the next best frozen pizza made with a cheese substitute, like Daiya's offerings. But – don’t do it! Instead, opt for this pizza from Amy’s, which features a pleasantly crisp crust topped with caramelized onions, shiitake mushrooms, roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, and a drizzle of balsamic. Yum. It’s savory, just a tad sweet, and has a nice tang, thanks to the balsamic. If you’re on the market for a vegan frozen pizza that doesn’t include glue-like cheese, this is the pick for you.

Caulipower Pizza

Gluten-free folks will love Caulipower, a line of frozen pizzas that have a cauliflower-based crust, and less sodium, fat, and sugar than other leading brands. You can choose from four flavors — margherita, veggie, three cheese, and plain. With a couple of these best frozen pizza brands stashed away in your freezer, you won’t have to be disappointed by your last-minute dinner decisions ever again!

1923 season 2 premieres on February 23, 2025 — just over two years since the first season ended. Which means, if you're like me, you need a refresher on where your favorite characters stand before pressing play on the new episodes. Who were the Duttons in 1923? What happened to Spencer and Alex on 1923? If you've got questions about the season 1 finale, then you came to the right place!

Here's everything you forgot about the 1923 season 1 ending, before 1923 season 2 premieres February 23.

The '1923' Ending, Explained

Emerson Miller/Paramount+

The 1923 season 1 finale, "Nothing Left To Lose," finds the Duttons, and their friends, scattered across the world — and season 2 will be all about their fight to get back to one another.

After killing Sister Mary, Teonna (Aminah Nieves) is on the run from Father Renaud and Marshall Kent when she's finally reunited with her father Runs His Horse and Pete Plenty Clouds. Literally all I wanted this whole season was for Teonna to reunite with her family and I'm so glad the show gave her something good in the end. It also looks like there could be romance blossoming between her and Pete, but first things first: I need the beginning of season 2 to introduce Teonna to the Duttons (and the cast wants it too!).

The Duttons have a lot to lose in the new season of '1923'

Emerson Miller/Paramount+

Back in town, Jacob (Harrison Ford) finds himself face-to-face with Banner again, who's been released from prison (and who you'll remember was originally arrested for attempted murder. Not cool Banner!!!) But this group has more than Banner to deal with.

Jacob's foreman Zane is attacked by the police while his wife Alice is arrested for their interracial marriage. Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph), pregnant with her and Jack's (Darren Mann) first child, suffers a miscarriage. And when Whitfield shows up to the ranch, he announces that he's paid the property tax the Duttons owed, meaning if they don't pay him the full amount by the end of the year, the land is his. Even though Yellowstone proves the ranch belongs to the Dutton family in the present day, I can't help but feel a little nervous as 1923 keeps playing out.

Emerson Miller/Paramount+

Meanwhile, Spencer and Alex (Brandon Sklenar and Julia Schlaepfer), on their way back to Montana via ship, are interrupted by Alex's ex-fiancé Arthur. Well, until he challenges Spencer to a duel, attacks Spencer after he loses, and ends up getting thrown overboard. Spencer and Alex are immediately separated (Spencer's to be dropped off at the next port, while Alex is locked in her room, set to return to London). But at the last moment, she finally runs to the deck waving a letter from Cara, and promises Spencer she'll meet him in Bozeman, Montana. And I'll definitely see them there.
