Keep it classic with Pick-Your-Tan Pizza
Our original Pick-Your-Tan Pizzait's got all the usual suspects (red sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni), but thanks to a few tweaks it's far from basic. The grated cheese covers the entire pizza, edge to edge, resulting in a crispy frico crust. Those lacy, cheesy edges are enough to entice anyone who normally skips crusts. And when it ripens in one Detroit style pizza pan , you'll be rewarded with both super-crispy friko and a deeply golden bottom crust; The pan's dark anodized aluminum encourages more browning and caramelization, and its non-stick interior makes serving easy.

Spice it up with Spicy Sesame Crust Pizza
Spicy Vodka Sauce is meant for more than just pasta and tuna Spicy pizza with sesame crust proves it. The creamy, fiery, slightly sweet sauce is ideal for pizza and comes together in the same amount of time it takes the oven to preheat. A layer of sesame seeds scattered on the bottom of the pan gives the golden brown crust even more crunch and a nutty flavor.
