Whether your game night includes cheering on your favorite team, rescuing the princess, or rolling dice to see who goes first, nothing says “It’s game night” like a pizza. On game night, keeping it simple keeps it fun. Trade plates for paper towels and forks for fingers. Once it’s on the table, no more dishes to clean. Do you have picky eaters in your crew? Not many kids turn down a slice of pizza, and you can always make a section just for them. Each pizza can have a maximum of 5 toppings, so have fun with it! Or turn your pizza toppings into this delicious Meatball Marinara Casserole.

After a long day of work and shuttling kids around to various activities, it’s nice to come home and do something simple for dinner. Pizza is our go to dinner when we want to keep it simple, and Pizza Hut’s new menu items fit the bill. When my budget isn’t calling for takeout or delivery, then I like to take some of our favorite pizza toppings and turn it into a casserole, just like I’ve done with this Meatball Marinara Casserole.
