Dessert Pizza Ideas For Special Events

Posted on: 27 June 2019

When you're planning the menu for a special occasion, you can't go wrong with pizza. While traditional savory pies are crowd pleasers, dessert-style pizzas will delight guests of all ages as well. 

Not only are dessert pizzas the ideal way to end a meal, but they're also as delicious as they are creative. Depending on how large of a group you have to feed and how much pre-party time you have, you can either make the sweet pizzas yourself or hire a bakery to do the work for you.

Dessert pizzas make sweet endings to a variety of special events or occasions, including kids' and adults' birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, anniversary and graduation celebrations, and even wedding receptions. 

These sweet pizzas are convenient in that you can easily customize them to match any event theme or to include seasonal ingredients for a fresh flavor. You can also easily tailor the treats to the celebrant's personal tastes.

Here are some dessert-style pizza ideas to consider for your next party:

1. Brownie Pizza 

If you love chocolate, consider serving up brownie pizzas at the event. Start with your favorite brownie mix or make it from scratch using cocoa powder and other basic ingredients. You can bake the brownie in a circular or square pan or even a heart-shaped one for a romance-inspired event, such as a wedding, bridal shower, or anniversary. 

You can frost the brownie with fudge frosting and decorate with colorful icing, sprinkles, or any other edible decor items you'd like to personalize the dessert with.

2. Fruit Pizza

As a healthier take on a dessert-style pizza, consider using fresh fruit. To make this tasty treat, spread a layer of smooth cream cheese frosting over a square or circular-shaped sugar cookie crust, and then top with any type of fresh fruit that you'd like.

Some ideas include blueberries, raspberries, halved grapes, apple and orange slices, peaches, or kiwi. Use a variety of fruit to create a brightly colored dessert, and arrange them in circular patterns for an eye-catching look. 

3. S'more Pizza 

Perfect for outdoor summer events, s'more pizzas will allow guests to get involved in the dessert-making process. Give each partygoer an individual-size graham cracker crust, and then have them layer on melted chocolate and toasted marshmallows, which they can roast over a grill or bonfire. 

For an indoor celebration, you can make larger s'more pizzas in your oven, baking them until the marshmallows are golden brown on top.
