- Easy way to eat veggies – It’s always easier to eat your vegetables when it’s in the form of pizza! Especially when it looks like a rainbow!
- Fun and festive for St. Patrick’s Day – Rainbows and your favorite Irish holiday go hand in hand. If you aren’t a fan of corned beef, this is another festive option.
- Nostalgic – I don’t know about you, but I grew up on french bread pizzas! Every time I eat one, it’s so nostalgic of childhood.
Your Shopping List
You only need a handful of simple ingredients and some veggies to make this rain now pizza. For a full list of ingredients and measurement, see the printable recipe card below.
- Loaf French bread – You can usually find this in the bakery section of your local grocery store.
- Pizza sauce – You can buy your favorite jar from the store, or try making your own at home!
- Mozzarella cheese – I personally like to shred my own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese has an additive that prevents it from melting smoothly.
- Red onion – Contrary to the name, this is the “purple” part of our rainbow. It also adds great onion flavor to the pizza.
- Broccoli florets – As you could have guessed, this provides the green color for our rainbow. Check the section below for other green options.
- Yellow grape tomatoes – Believe it or not, there aren’t many yellow vegetables. But yellow tomatoes not only give us the color, but also more tomato flavor.
- Orange bell pepper – Other than carrots (which I wouldn’t usually put on pizza,) an orange bell pepper is perfect to get the orange color.
- Red bell pepper – And to round out the flavor and colors of our rainbow, we use chopped red bell pepper.
Get Cookin’!
Making rainbow pizza might be easier than you think! It’s even fun to get the kids involved in helping.
- Cut bread. Cut French bread in half lengthwise and then half down the middle, creating quarters.
- Crisp bread in broiler. Place cut side up on a baking sheet and place under the broiler until lightly browned.
- Top bread with sauce and cheese. Divide pizza sauce on each French bread pizza. Do the same with finely shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Add veggies. Follow the colors of the rainbow and arrange your red onion, broccoli, tomatoes, and bell peppers in the order of the rainbow. Remember ROY-G-BIV!
- Bake. Then bake pizzas until cheese is melted and the veggies are starting to soften, but are not limp.
- Enjoy. Remove and eat immediately.
5S Philosophy 👩🏻
- Salt – Depending on the saltiness of the pizza sauce and cheese you use, feel free to add a little extra to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Seasonings – Adding some dried oregano, red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning would be the perfect addition to this rainbow pizza.
- Sauces – Dipping this pizza in extra pizza sauce, my favorite garlic sauce or even ranch dressing would be delicious!
- Swaps – If you or your kids don’t like some of the veggie options I chose, try swapping them with squash, cucumber, pepperoni, corn, red or green cabbage, spinach or olives.
- Senses – The aromas that this pizza gives off while cooking will make you think you walked into an Italian pizzeria!
Sidekicks That Shine
You can serve this easy rainbow pizza with anything you’d regularly serve with a classic pepperoni pizza. A simple green salad or other leafy green will turn this fresh pizza into a full meal.
And don’t forget a good dipping sauce! My garlic butter sauce is a total game changer and not to be missed.
Storage and Freezing
How to Store
The easiest way to store any leftovers is in an airtight container. Place parchment paper between slices to prevent them from sticking together. You can reheat either in the oven or air fryer.
Can I Freeze Rainbow Pizza?
You can also easily freeze this pizza. For best results, place in ziplock freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
