Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Sprinkle 1-2 TBSP flour over a clean work surface. Remove pizza dough from packaging and place on floured surface. Shape each piece of dough into a ball. TIP: Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray or dust with flour to prevent sticking. • Evenly sprinkle another 1-2 TBSP flour on top of dough balls. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature, 20 minutes.
• While dough rests, halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Trim and discard root ends from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. • Add 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 8 servings) and a splash of water; cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, 2-3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Once dough has rested 20 minutes, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Press and stretch one dough ball into an oval shape; place on one side of a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with three more dough balls (arrange so there are two dough ovals per sheet). (For 8 servings, stretch remaining four dough balls into oval shapes and return to floured surface; sprinkle tops lightly with flour and cover with a clean kitchen towel.) • Cover baking sheets with clean kitchen towels; let dough rest 15 minutes. • Once dough has rested 15 minutes, lightly flour hands. Press and stretch dough on sheets into larger oval shapes, about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide. (For 8, leave dough on surface while topping and baking first batch.)
• Spread dough with marinara; sprinkle with mozzarella. Top with as much caramelized onion, bell pepper, and pepperoni as you like. • Bake pizzas on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through, until crust is golden, 14-18 minutes. (For 8 servings, transfer baked pizzas to a cutting board. Repeat Step 5 with remaining dough.)
• While pizzas bake, combine garlic powder and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 8 servings) in a small microwave safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until butter has melted, 30-60 seconds. Stir to combine.
• Once pizzas are done, remove from oven. Brush edges of crust with garlic butter to taste. Grate Parmesan over pizzas, then cut each pizza into eight slices. • In a large bowl, toss lettuce, carrots, and creamy balsamic dressing until combined. Lightly season with salt and pepper. • Divide pizzas and salad between plates in separate sections. Serve with chili flakes for sprinkling and ranch dressing for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
If you are meal planning, stick this recipe on a night when you have a few hours to prepare the meal. It's not a quick one-there are a few steps that require you to let the dough rest and proof for 20 minute stretches of time. That being said, it is well worth it-this delicious pizza and salad meal will be more than enough for your entire family (including that ravenous teen who eats you out of house and home)!
This was easy and fun to make! The kids thought it was fun and enjoyed making their own pizza. To top it off it was delicious! We are picky about pizza crust and this was delicious as well as the toppings. All smiles here and requests to do this one again!
Hello Fresh pizza dough is a home run!!! 5 stars!! I hope sometime you will sell it has an extra. It really is the best dough, it's easy to move around and cooks up to crispy golden perfection!! We made a pepperoni pizza and one with peppers and onions too. We also added hot honey! Amazing!! Thank you Hello Fresh for a true winner!!
I have to say this was one of the best and most enjoyable meals to do as a family. We had a great time making our own pizzas and it was A LOT of food. The dough is 5 star.
Kids had a great time here, i wish there were options though for how many pizzas to make, because with 6 servings, we were going to be making like 12 pizzas, that was way too many. We ended up combining the dough and making a bit larger pizzas, so we could make less that way.
This was a fun recipe! Loved the caramelized onions. I added mushrooms. I liked the variety of pizzas we made. Would def. do this again.
Nice choice for a bigger meal than normal. Even have leftovers. Love the dough, tasted good and baked up nicely. Toppings were all fresh and tasty as well.
Pizzas were awesome, garlic butter on the crust is a great addition. I really liked the simple salad as well.
I would love more options with this. The crust was perfect! I'd love a sausage and mushroom option. I'd also love an option for one or two pizzas available for an add-on/lunch option. Good amount of cheese and pepperoni and vegetables in this one.
Needed different toppings for the pizzas instead of the same for all 4 pizzas. maybe some sausage or even pineapple. The recipe needed some variety but was otherwise delicious.
