Getting kids to like pizza

Yep, I must have the strangest kids in the world, but they reckon they hate pizza.
Would like sometimes just to be able to whack a dinner in the oven and have a nice simple meal.
Any tips on how I can get them to try it? Maybe making my own and getting them involved? If so, any easy recipes for pizza?

Hi
Do you know what it is they don't like? I sometimes find them too tomatoey. Maybe try another flavour on the base, BBQ or pesto perhaps.0 -
Not sure really. They won't even try it. My youngest used to try the crusts, but now copies her sister and just says "I don't like it."
My youngest (3) is obsessed with grated cheese, but even she won't try it.
They like tomatoey based sauces (when they are in the mood) as they do love spag bol (but the eldest (5) with no cheese as she doesn't like it).Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

I wonder if you bought or made individual bases and let your children design their own individual pizza from an assortment of toppings that it might encourage them to eat the finished product?
Or invite a pizza-mad little friend to tea

I'm not a huge cheese fan, and I used to make my own cheese free pizzas!
Do they like bread? Then get them to help you make the dough....
Choose their own toppings?:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -

There are plenty of other quick and easy dinners that you could make. Why pizza?0

My daughter wouldn't touch pizza till she was about 6 and though she will now (at 8) eat a slice if we have it at home for an easy tea, she will always pick the pasta option if we eat out at p hut or p express.PAYDBX 2016 #55 100% paid! :j Officially bad debt free...don't count my mortgage.

I would love it if mine didn't......I am a bit intolerant of wheat, and my 18 year old son eats pizza every day!RIP Iain

Little ones do like to copy. Would she eat it if the older one was out to tea with someone else.0

Reverse psychology. Eat it in front of them telling them that they can't have it as they don't like it!:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0
