Good times tonight.
I’m so glad Dave and Marie live close by, so they can just drop by for dinner at last minute’s notice. Marie’s sister, Monica, and their dogs, Grady and Bella, also joined us for dinner this evening.
We started with a round of beers. I went with a Shipyard Pumpkinhead. It tasted more delicious now that it’s September.
Mal and I prepared the toppings before everyone arrived, so all we needed to do was assemble the pizzas.
Each of us took turns making our own pizzas with the toppings, but we all shared them with one another.
It was fun trying everyone’s different pizza creations.
We also had salad.
And more pizza.
We ended up cooking 5 out of the 6 doughs, so we had a lot of pizza to go around. I tried a piece from each pie. All delicious. My favorite of the bunch, however, was Dave’s double-cheese creation with peppers and pepperoni.
Thanks for the mood lighting, Mal.
A great night with great friends.
I’m off to bed. Good night!

A make your own pizza party is such a great idea! Love it!
Having friends who can instantaneously be there for hugs and laughter is so important. Keep staying strong and positive, Tina!
So glad you were able to enjoy the night. Those pizzas look absolutely incredible!! Have a wonderful sleep
Ooh, yummy! Looks so good!
Nothing like a crazy fun pizza party! One of my friends the other day had dried apricot on his pizza…I thought it was brilliant!
We did a make-your-own-pizza party for my girlfriends daughters 13th birthday. All the kids had so much fun making their own pesonalized pie.
All of those pizzas look scrumptious! Love the way the dough looks–extra doughy! Yum yum
Can never go wrong with pizza!
Mm that pizza looks great! And what a fun little get together idea, to have everyone create their own little pizzas, love it!
Great idea to have everyone make their own! Can’t go wrong with a delicious beer and homemade pizza.
Looks delicious! Virtually any toppings on pizza will turn out. It’s hard to mess up something so delicious
Is the fluffy white dog Bella? Not stolen from the Fitnessista is she? haha
Yummy! Homemade pizzas are always a favorite in our house.
Looks like fun! I’m so excited for pumpkin beer
What a great idea!!! I would love that because I can never choose just one thing; I like to try everything!
Those pizzas look delicious! But no dessert?
What a excellent party idea! I for sure will be borrowing it
Reminds me of being a kid – we used to do make your own english muffin pizzas at birthday parties!
Been thinking of you a lot and sending prayers and thoughts your way. Glad you got to have some fun tonight and that you’ve had Mal to spend time with.
I love yellow peppers! I also love pineapple on pizza!
And I do my cucumbers the same way…with ridges down the sides. I like pretty food
Oh, those pizzas look delicious! Glad you are feeling a bit better Tina.
Good friends that live close by = priceless
Perfect mood lighting during pizza night with good friends = epic
I am repeating “shipyard pumpkinhead” over and over in my head. I must keep my eyes out for this!
Yeah for pumpkin beers!! You pizzas look delish…I love all of the veggies on top:-)
Fun evening- I want pizza now for breakfast! the salad presentation is awesome (trust me to say that
)

What a fun party and the pizza looks great!
My favorite part of this whole post is the hot pink SIGG I heart running water bottle that appears in all of the photos:)
all the pizzas look delicious, and the salad looks amazing – I love hard-cooked eggs on salad!
Friends who can come over in a flash are always good to have, I love having two of my closest friends a short drive away, especially when I need a hug and a cup of coffee.
A last minute make-your-own pizza party sounds like a great way to spend one of the last days of summer. Hope it helped cheer you up a little
I love the pizza party idea! Makes me kind of hungry.
What a great idea! All of the pizzas look delicious, and so does that beer.
oops, didn’t mean to double comment, haha. Going for a triple
murphy needs one of these for the chilly fall nights.

@jessica: Love it!!
double cheese? yes please!
Those pizza seems to be really tasty
That pizza party seems like such a fun idea! I’ve been tossing around the idea of doing one as a blogger meetup. Everyone could bring a few toppings, I’d provide the dough and oven.
I’m so glad you have friends nearby who can come over so easily! It’s definitely important during a time like this. Have a great Friday!
I’m glad you had a fun evening, you deserve it
Make your own pizza party is such a good idea!
Pizza nights are the BEST. Those all look fabulous!
I was considering pizza for tonight. After looking at your deliciousness – it is a guaranteed pizza night!
Sounds like it was a great night!
The pizzas look so delicious– I love how puffy the dough looks! Pizza is now officially on the agenda for tonight (or maybe this afternoon)! I’m glad you have a nice time!
We both had a pizza night last night…posting mine after I get my run on! Our came out fabulous as well! xoxo from Trinidad
A pizza night with friends sounds awesome. I would love getting to try everyone else’s pizzas.
Love make it yourself themed dinner parties! We had a make your own calzone dinner weekend [the first time my momma and her friend ever had eaten one] and it was a hit! Everyone had a blast choosing their fixin’s, stuffing it, and seeing the finished product! Best part, they tasted as good as they looked [always worry about a new recipe]!
@Allison: P.S. My fiance is all about the lighting, it’s become a joke now haha… I couldn’t help but chuckle at the picture of Mal lighting the lantern
@Allison: Haha! Mal too!
Homemade pizza and pumpking beer…looks like a perfect night!!
I love homemade pizza!
Looks like a great night with great friends!
I’m so glad you got to have a fun night with friends. It’s good medicine.
My family and I were just talking about doing a “make your own pizza night” and sampling everyone’s. Gotta make that happen!
Love that! I love having themed parties. I’m so stealing this idea!

Pizza parties are the best!
