To make your own, start by writing up a grocery list and taking a trip to Trader Joe's. You'll need their herb-flavored pizza dough, garlic dip, Bomba Italian sauce, burrata, marinated mozzarella balls, spicy charcuterie meats, and marinated red bell peppers.

Top your dough with the garlic dip mixed with the Italian sauce. Then break up your burrata and slice your mozzarella in half (save the oil to drizzle on top later), and add as much as you prefer. There’s no skimping on meat here—@blaircooleydietitan uses the entire package of the charcuterie to covers the cheese. Finally, place your marinated red bell peppers on top before popping it in the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Once it’s finished, add your arugula, drizzle on the saved oil and some balsamic glaze, and sprinkle on red pepper flakes if you want even more heat.

Some users left helpful tips and other ingredient suggestions in the comments: “Par cooking the dough for 10 mins before the toppings made it way better,” one person wrote. (Par cooking is the process of partially cooking some or all of your ingredients ahead of time.) Others proposed including goat cheese or a drizzle of hot honey at the end to give it an element of sweetness.

Since it’s Trader Joe’s, you can count on your homemade pizza to save you some cash—all the ingredients likely will cost less than a large delivery pizza from your favorite local spot (including tip!). You can find the complete list of ingredients on the creator's Instagram, and get more date night dinner ideas by checking out the #traderjoesdatenightchallenge posts on TikTok.
