Recipe News: Pie, Oh My! Easy Make-At-Home Pizza

Here's a weighty figure: The average American eats 23 pounds, or 46 slices, of pizza every year. Multiply the cost a few dozen times, add tips for the delivery boy, and you'll see a heavy pizza habit can put a crimp in your household budget.
But if you made pizza at home - without any special equipment or a brick oven - would you be able to replicate that pizza parlor taste? Yes, according to Grace Parisi, the senior test kitchen associate at Food & Wine magazine.

Over the years, Parisi has developed her own pizza recipe. To prove that it's easy to make with the help of children, she brought her own kids to The Saturday Early Show to lend a hand. Parisi developed a three-course menu for "Chef on a Shoestring" that you can make at home for under $40.

Includes recipe for:
