Friday Night Fakeout Pizza: A Mom's Secret to Guilt-Free Indulgence

Pizza night doesn’t have to mean calling for delivery. Here in the Gracefully Momming kitchen, we’re turning Friday nights into a fun, healthier alternative with our Fakeout Pizza recipe! This is perfect for busy moms who want the comfort of a family favorite without the heavy ingredients or the delivery bill. And trust me, even the picky eaters will ask for seconds.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large wraps (whole wheat or gluten-free options work great too!)

  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce (or tomato puree with herbs)

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Your favorite toppings: chopped peppers, mushrooms, baby spinach, cooked chicken, olives, etc.

  • Olive oil for brushing

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. Place one wrap in an oven-safe skillet or on a baking tray.

  3. Brush a light layer of olive oil on the base, then spread your sauce evenly.

  4. Add your toppings and sprinkle cheese over the top.

  5. Place the second wrap on top to create a thin crust base, or leave it open-faced if you prefer a crispier bite.

  6. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  7. Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve with a fresh side salad or veggie sticks for balance.

Mom Tip: Let the kids pick their own toppings! It's a great way to get them involved and excited about dinner. Plus, they’re more likely to eat what they helped create.

Why We Love It:

  • Ready in under 20 minutes

  • Customisable for every eater in the house

  • Light but still cheesy and satisfying

  • Budget-friendly and fun

So there you have it – Friday night comfort without the carb crash or fast-food regret. Add this to your regular rotation and let it become a part of your family's memory-making moments.
