How Long Do You Cook Ellio's Pizza



How

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ellio’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine.

My older son is five, going on six, and he’s at a great age for learning a lot of new things. He’s so bright, and we have a lot of fun together (and honestly, I feel like I learn so much right along with him).

Ellio’s Sicilian Style Pizza combines the taste of Ellio's classic sauce and 33% more cheese with a delicious, thicker crust that is both crispy and crunchy on the outside, and deliciously light on the inside. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, your order may take longer to ship. Use code FREESHIP for orders over $35. What's the best way to cook my Ellio's Pizza? It's a matter of preference of course! For crisper crust: Put pizza directly on oven rack. Bake to desired doneness or until cheese has melted (11-12 minutes conventional oven at 425°, 12-13 minutes toaster oven). For softer crust: Place pizza on a nonstick baking sheet (13-14 minutes conventional oven at 425°, 14-15 minutes toaster oven).

Recently, his interest has turned toward doing things around the house that make him a bit more independent. He cleans up after himself, wants to wash dishes, and has been asking to learn how to make some meals as well, and I love having him in the kitchen to do these things with me. I love to cook, and it’s something we can share.

I grew up with Ellio’s Pizza. I remember my mom letting us choose whether we wanted it microwaved (fast and made for gooey, yummy cheese) or baked in the oven (crispy pizza with a bit of crunch in each bite…even yummier) and it was the biggest treat when we’d have it. I want to make lots of memories with my boys, and since I wanted to start teaching them to make delicious but simple meals of their own now that they are interested in it, it was a great food to start with.

I only recently learned that Ellio’s frozen pizza launched in Long Island, NY in 1963…right where we live! It was a quick meal solution when I was a kid in the 80s, and today it’s still made with real ingredients, nothing artificial, and 100% real cheese.

To make it a little more fun for the kids, I bought cookie cutters in spring shapes like butterflies and fruit and leaves, but honestly, they were sooo happy to be baking with the oven (and I’m so proud of them) that I don’t even think the shapes were necessary to get them to eat it up, but I will still be adding these to my son’s Bento school lunches during the week to surprise him with fun shaped pizzas!

My younger son is only three, so he was allowed to make faces on the pizza with olives…no baking for him yet!

  • Yum! That pizza looks so good! It’s fun teaching them things we know from childhood!

  • The square pizza! Didn’t we all grow up with that? My son asked me to let him “help cook” when we made spaghetti, and he has such ownership of the food at dinner.

  • It’s great that you are teaching your son how to cook! Also, the cookie cutter idea for the pizza is genius!

  • The cookie cutter shapes are too cool. We always keep a box of Ellios in the freezer for nights I don’t feel like cooking.

  • YUMeeeeeee I love pizza. I love how you guys got creative with the olives and cookie cutters.

  • Your boys are growing up so fast! My daughter loves to help out in the kitchen too.

  • My kiddos love to help out in the kitchen also. Sometimes I think it’d just be easier to do it all myself (the control freak in me), but it’s so important to teach them to be independent and capable.

  • What a sweet little chef you have there! I find my kids more willing to eat when they help with the process, so fun making pizza

  • My son loves to cook. It is such an important skill all kids should learn.
