St. Patrick's Day Pizza -- this is an idea your whole family will love! Get the details at overthebigmoon.com!

These St. Patrick’s Day Pizza ideas are too much fun and kids love to help make them! A family-friendly St. Patrick’s Day meal that is colorful and has a great presentation! You can make a rainbow pizza or a 4 leaf clover pizza!

A homemade pizza with a rainbow made of toppings such as pepperoni, peppers, pineapple, onions, olives and more.         My boys are not huge lovers of Corned Beef and Cabbage. It has become a tradition to make homemade Pizzas for St. Patrick’s Day! Adults and kids love this tradition! Then we always pair them with a fun “green” dessert-like my Fudge and Mint Brownies or St. Patrick’s Day Sugar Cookie Bars!

Now for the recipe and instructions!

ST. PATRICK’S DAY CLOVER PIZZA

The first St. Patrick’s Day Pizza was for me and my husband — a Clover Pizza! My top tip for this pizza is to buy peppers with DEEP ridges! That will make the “clover” shape more prominent once you’ve sliced the peppers.

A mini pizza that uses green peppers sliced to look like 4 leaf clovers.

Items Needed:

  • Pizza Dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • Pizza Sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Italian Cheese Blend
  • Green Peppers (choose peppers with deep ridges)

A mini pizza with green onions sliced to look like 4 leaf clovers as a topping.

If you’ve never made homemade pizzas, I know it seems a bit intimidating, but it’s not! We make homemade pizzas about once a week now and it’s really a quick and easy dinner idea!

Start by cleaning and slicing your green peppers into “clovers.”

Pizza slices on a plate, with a pizza to the left and a pizza cutter to the right.

Directions:

Then roll out your dough into either a large pizza or individual-sized pizzas. You’ll want to have the surface you’re rolling your dough out on well-floured so it won’t stick. If you’re making homemade dough, the recipe you’re using will most likely tell you how many individual pizzas you can get out of the recipe.

Spray your baking sheet well with cooking spray or wrap it in tin foil and then still spray it well with cooking spray.

After it is rolled out, quickly transfer it to your baking sheet to dress it with your toppings.

Then layer on the pizza sauce, cheese, and clovers!

Cook the pizza at 500 degrees for 5-7 minutes!

 

ST. PATRICK’S DAY RAINBOW PIZZA

Now let’s move on to the Rainbow Pizza! This St. Patrick’s Day Pizza is hands down the most fun to look at and serve! This pizza has been such a great way to get my kids to try and eat new veggies! I’m not gonna lie though — my kids will pick off a few toppings after it’s served to them. But, that’s okay! It is still a fun way to have a themed St. Patrick’s Day dinner!

A mini pizza with toppings made to look like a rainbow.

Items Needed:

  • Pizza Dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • Pizza Sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Italian Cheese Blend
  • Topping to create a rainbow
  • Green Pepper (to create Clovers for ends of the rainbow)

Toppings for a rainbow pizza on a cutting board.

Here are the toppings that can be used as colors!

Rainbow Topping Ideas:

  • RED: Pepperonis, tomatoes
  • ORANGE: orange pepper
  • YELLOW: pineapple, yellow pepper
  • GREEN: green pepper, spinach, green onions
  • BLUE: I could not find anything blue, so we used olives
  • PURPLE: purple onion

Pizza toppings in white bowls.

Directions:

Then roll out your dough into either a large pizza or individual-sized pizzas. You’ll want to have the surface you’re rolling your dough out on well-floured so it won’t stick. If you’re making homemade dough, the recipe you’re using will most likely tell you how many individual pizzas you can get out of the recipe.

Spray your baking sheet well with cooking spray or wrap it in tin foil and then still spray it well with cooking spray.

After it is rolled out, quickly transfer it to your baking sheet to dress it with your toppings.

Then layer on the pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings to create a rainbow! Start with the top of the rainbow and work your way down. Make sure to leave room for the clovers at the end of the rainbow!

Cook the pizza at 500 degrees for 5-7 minutes!

Now the fun part, adding your toppings! Add them in the order of the rainbow, best you can — red, orange, yellow, green, blue (black), purple! Feel free to change your toppings to fit your personal preferences!!

Obviously, you aren’t going to be able to follow it perfectly, so just do the best you can and improvise when needed!

I used clovers cut out of green peppers at the end of the rainbows to give it a good finished look. Plus, look how pretty the slices are!

Prep Time30 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 Pizza Dough Homemade or Store-Bought
  • 1 Cup Pizza Sauce Homemade or Store-Bought
  • 2 Cups Italian Cheese Blend
  • Toppings of Choice See a list of choices in the notes below

Instructions

  • First, you'll want to prepare your Pizza Dough or buy a store-bought pizza dough! My family loves this Kamut Pizza Dough from the Food Nanny. If you don't have Kamut flour, consider making their Basic Pizza Dough.
  • You'll also want to have your pizza sauce ready to go. My favorite sauce is Good and Gather Organic Pizza Sauce. I buy it at Target!
  • Next, prepare your toppings! Below is a list of ideas for your toppings for the Rainbow Pizza:
    RED: Pepperonis, tomatoes
    ORANGE: orange pepper
    YELLOW: pineapple, yellow pepper
    GREEN: green pepper, spinach, green onions
    BLUE: I could not find anything blue, so we used olives
    PURPLE: purple onion
    For the ends of the rainbow we used Green Peppers to make Clovers!
  • Roll out your dough into either a large pizza or individual-sized pizzas. You'll want to have the surface you're rolling your dough out on well-floured so it won't stick. If you're making homemade dough, the recipe you're using will most likely tell you how many full sized and individual pizzas you can get out of the recipe
    Spray your baking sheet well with cooking spray or wrap it in tin foil and then still spray it well with cooking spray.
    After it is rolled out, quickly transfer it to your baking sheet to dress it with your toppings..
  • Layer on the pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings to create a rainbow! Start with the top of the rainbow and work your way down. Make sure to leave room for the clovers at the end of the rainbow! 
  • If you're making the Clover Pizza, omit the rainbow toppings and creation. Cut a Green Pepper into slices to create clovers. Choose Green Peppers with deep ridges, for the clover shape, will be more dramatic. Disperse the "clovers" all over the top of the pizza.
  • Cook the pizza at 500 degrees for 5-7 minutes! Keep a watch on it, the cooking time will vary depending on where you live.

    Lisa, that looks like such a fun dinner! Too bad my kids will only eat pepperoni! Maybe I’ll have to shape the pepperoni into a shamrock!
