October is National Pizza Month, but as far as I’m concerned, it can be pizza month every month. Pizza is one of the few foods that I just can’t say no to.  That’s why I like to make my own when the pizza craving hits so I can make it healthier and not feel so bad. We love all kinds of pizza toppings in our house, so when it’s pizza night I make a few different versions, and this pizza with Brussels sprouts and bacon is one of our favorites in the fall.

Now that the dinner crowd in my house is smaller, I’ve found that making pizza in a cast iron skillet is a great way to make a few pizzas with different toppings.  The pizzas are smaller, so we are not tempted to overindulge.  And I love how the crust comes out in the cast iron skillet; it’s a little bit crispy on the bottom, yet chewy on the inside.  Just the way we like it! Another one of our favorites for pizza night is this Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza .

This pizza is so good.  The Brussels sprouts are tossed with a splash of balsamic vinegar and oil before they are added to the pizza.  I partially cook the crust before adding the cheese and toppings so that it stays nice and crispy.

  1. Oh my goodness! This sounds HEAVENLY!! I never get to eat stuff like this unless I feel like making 2 different meals! But I guess pizza is pretty easy to make and I could totally make a few at a time, this one for me and another for the kids!

    1. I often made 2 different meals when my kids were young. When you use the skillet, it’s easy to make a small personal sized pizza!
