OMG. Nostalgia is real. With the way the world is today, I’d go back to 1980’s and 1990’s in a heartbeat. This pizza WAS LIFE back then. All that's needed now is a carton of chocolate milk, corn, and a fruit cup.
Here is the recipe to this video i saved before the website hosting it went defunct. Crust: * 2 ⅔ flour * ¾ cup powdered milk * 2 T sugar * 1 packet of quick rise yeast * 1 tsp salt * 1 ⅔ cup warm water (105-110 degrees) * 2 T vegetable oil Filling: ½ pound ground chuck ½ tsp salt ½ tsp pepper 1 8oz block mozzarella cheese - grated yourself (To be authentic school pizza, you will have to use imitation mozzarella shreds.) Sauce (I make sauce the day before): * 6oz can tomato paste * 1 cup water * ⅓ olive oil * 2 cloves garlic minced * 1 tsp salt * 1 tsp pepper * ½ tbsp dried oregano * ½ tbsp dried basil * ½ tsp dried rosemary crushed Crust: 1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Spray pan with Pam and lay Parchment paper down (Pam makes it stick) 2. In a large bowl - flour, powdered milk, sugar, yeast, salt - whisk to blend 3. Add oil to hot water (110-115 degrees) - pour into your mixture 4. Stir with a wooden spoon until batter forms - don’t worry about lumps - you just want no dry spots 5. Spread dough into pan using fingertips until it’s even. If dough doesn’t want to cooperate, let rest 5 minutes and try again 1. Bake just the crust for 8-10 minutes - remove from oven and set aside. 6. Brown meats until it resembles crumbles - set aside and drain meat 7. Get out the pizza sauce - to partially baked crust, assemble: 1. Sauce - spread all over crust 2. Sprinkle meats 3. Sprinkle cheese 4. Bake at 475 degrees for 8-10 minutes until cheese melts and begins to brown 5. Remove from oven - let stand 5 minutes 6. Cut in slices and serve!
You did a good job at my school they took a fork and poked holes in the crust before baking, it is a sticky wet dough, you can put seasoning on the parchment before you spread the dough on to help the crust but you did a great job! I made it last month my neighbors and friends all loved it. We ate better when I went to school❤️
Thanks for the helpful comment, Ms. Pamela. Do you think you might know why my dough came out much dryer and not like a spreadable batter. I guess I can try a bit less flour. I'll use your idea to poke holes in the crust after it pre-cooks.
❤️ it, nothing like nostalgia, school pizza was awesome. the pourable crust made it quick and easy for lunch ladies, they were the best. they were our great aunts and grannies, they knew everyone of us and we loved and respected them. you have a great presence on screen.thank you for posting
Ileana Alvarez I remember the teacher would bring breakfast and bring about 2 trays of it.. no one never ate it cuz I was at a alternative school! Only kid that showed up early asf was me so I would dive in and eat a whole tray to myself 😂😂 good times good times
We had two lines in the cafeteria, one for the regular meal and one for the school pizza. It was worth it every day to wait twice as long for the pizza.
Omg!!!!! Wish I could find these with the actual taste from old school cafeteria pizzas from the 80's elementary school!! I'm gonna try this for sure!!!! Thanks for this classic dish!!!!
@@trae74 honestly I haven't tried it yet.but I did check out my local grocery store and bought totino's frozen cheese square pizza..I also tried this with Italian sausages..but I cook them into really small pieces...I added the sausages and top a little more mozzarella cheese on top of pizza...let it bake in oven for about 10 to 15 min..and I must say ...it's by far the close I've come to remembering those great tasting cheesy cafeteria square pizzas from elementary in the 80's😋👍the flavors were only 2 to choose from ..you could choose either cheesy square pizza or the Italian sausage and cheese square pizza 👍😋they were sooooo good!
@April sunshine75 I purchased the ingredients to make a pepperoni school pizza. Lol, I found an old-school lunch ladies youtube channel. It's @whippoorwillholler and the recipe was the same except she used chopped pepperoni and said you can use anything you want for the sauce. She also shared the school brownie recipe. So I'm planning on making both and having a side of corn! That's what it always was on pizza day. Pizza, a brownie and corn! Lol I'm planning on making it for dinner tonight, so I'll let you know if it takes me back to the 80s!
@@trae74 OMG yes!! You're so right about the square pizzas serve with a side of corn...and a brownie!🤗😋👍I will look up her channel..and please let me know how your pizza turn out😋thank you for sharing this info with me🤗👍🌟✨
For everyone wondering, this is NOT the school lunch pizza from the mid 80s-90's; its from the 70's. I was very excited making it and it was good, but I was sad it wasn't from my childhood. HOWEVER, my mother was elated to find that it was what her highschool served in the 70's!
Man I missed those pizza days 😔 The cheese pizza The tiny pepperoni 🍕 And when I was growing up ( in the south ) we had so delicious 😋 breakfast square pizza And a pizza shaped like a cinnamon bun where you could unravel it ugh 😑 my favorite! Okay okay I’m just a huge pizza lover 💕
I i remember eating the square sausage pizza during breakfast when i was a little kid in the elementary school called walker creek elementary school in north Richland hills Texas
I started school in 1970, the pizza that was served then was a thicker, almost deep dish crust. That was covered with what I believe our school used as spaghetti sauce, thick with beef and yellow cheese. The only way it actually resembled a pizza was that it was baked in a flat pan! BUT, it really was good!
These things were the bane of my existence in middle school. I grew up not knowing I was lactose intolerant and cheese always gave me terrible gas. That'd be worse within itself, but on top of that, all my classes had assigned seating in alphabetical order. The girl I had a huge crush on always sat behind me in almost every class. I would sit at my desk, stomach making whale noises and rumbling while I'm breaking out in cold sweats trying not to blow her away. To add insult to injury, I worked up the courage to finally ask her out in High School and later found out that she had anosmia due to a childhood illness and would've never smelled me if I did let one out.
I LOVE that quote “a little salt never hurt nobody” season your food people! Enjoy it it’s meant to be enjoyed not just something to consume to keep living. Why live!?
If you look closely at the original post, at the actual handwritten recipe, it says to use 1/2lb sausage and 1/2lb ground chuck. It also says to make the sauce the night before.
If I have to say I definitely remember fennel seeds in the pizza. So either they simply added fennel to the recipe or they used sausage, which typically has fennel already in it, and my money is on they used sausage ; )
Mine too. I came to find out how to make the pizza so I van have leftovers for breakfast. They would have it warm and in foil. Best start of a school day.
So glad I found this video!! I miss that school pizza and I think about it all the time. Thanks to this video I can now make it at home and relive my childhood 😊

Thank you very much Nicole[or 'Ms. Peabody'?] for a very pleasant trip in the way-back machine to my youth(elementary school in the '80's). Remembering the awe and delight of seeing those sheet pans of pizza- especially the pepperoni. Tantalizingly displayed along the lunch line under heat lamps; what seemed a gigantic field of glistening melted cheese, leopard-spotted with orange grease, ever so slightly kissed with brown where small diced pieces of pepperoni lurk below, while their spicy brethren sit boldly atop the cheese, now cooked to an almost "soft bacon" fry... I think I need a moment. It didn't occur to me until just now, but that might be why I often feel hopeful about Thursdays. Also, when you brought up the rosemary, my brain screamed, "THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS!!" So this would seem to be pretty spot on, at least compared to my old elementary school cafeteria. Thanks!
What our school did was once the pizza was cooked, they flipped it. The crust was on the outside and the cheese/meat/what else was in the inside and sides. Go good! If you go to Dollar General, but the smallest circular pizza you can find. Take it home and put it in the microwave for said instructions. When the pizza comes out to be done, take it out and flip it. Let it stand for a minute and you have school pizza
What in the world is pizza with gravy in it? "in it"? "In it"? What location is that on a pizza map, Where is the "in" on a pizza? Where does one learn more about this gravy pizza because I have at least 20 more questions before I can even wrap my head around the concept of gravy Pizza?
my husband and i make this for our kids all the time on english muffins or bagels...but now i'm gonna do it with the crust from this vid. we make country gravy and add sauted breakfast sausage to it. sometimes we put scrambled eggs on this too sometimes not. always topped with cheese. tastes EXACTLY like those breakfast pizzas!
Thank you for your humor. I was talking about school pizza today. MY absolute favorite as well as the tuna fish they served. I cannot wait to watch your next video.
I was a teen in Florida, I think our lunch ladies used leftover sloppy joes or something on our pizza, it was usually Thursdays or later in the week, so I think they slopped on what they had, also I think I spied leftover veggies in there too, same with meatloaf, green beans and everything in it, but they made it taste so good. Also, ours had yellow cheese, no doubt the government cheese, but man, was it EVER good, so thank you for the recipe for the crust.
I grew up in Jax and I tried this recipe and it was not nearly as good as what we had in Duval County. I think the Floridians did something extra for sure.
Oh my goodness..lol, I love this video so much! I was craving the school pizza, I had no idea I'd get all of these laughs to go with it..lol, I'll give this recipe a try, cuz.. why not? lol!
@@mzericathompson9835 I've been making my own pizzas, but not the school pizza. I buy pizza buddy dough that's already made. I spread it out over a 16" round pizza pan. Add Rao's sauce, mozerella and parmesan cheese and then the pepperoni on top. It's good.
I can't wait to try this. I thought they came frozen also. Been looking forever to find a place to buy them. Now I get to cook one. Yess. Sausage with the seed though. Remember that very well. I found that school peanut bar today also. 2 ole school classics.
It's been 50 years since I've been in school and I don't ever recall a breakfast pizza school lunches yes but even with our school lunches we never had a pizza of any kind. I never heard of a school breakfast pizza until I watch this video.
55 here and I don't remember breakfast pizza and I went to school in Ms where there were so many kids that they had to bring small trailers in for the class rooms. Then I've been to schools in Missouri where a full class was actually a half of a classroom.
I absolutely loved this pizza I doubt they sell them anymore. ours came in frozen I asked the lunchlady. it was either topped with sausage or tightly packed tiny meatballs because it definitely wasn't rough ground. loved those powdered watery eggs also
When i went to school we had the round stop sign pizzas. Also we had the little square pepperoni pizzas. I never had this type of pizza. Also the meat was chopped up smaller like they used a food processor or something.. The stop sign pizzas was everyone's favorite.
We had the rectangle pepperoni pizza. Never sausage. I was upset I wasn't on school lunches bc i loved them. I used to trade with kids who got free lunch
Our school system also made a hamburger bun pizza with a meat sauce and cheese. I'm sure the bun was browned, because it was crunchy and the meat sauce was deliciously tangy, they called them pizza bugers.
Mom would make them with a piece of bread, pizza sauce, hamburger and cheese. We called it Poor Man's Pizza. Of course mom came up with cowboy night too. She would save the aluminum pans from pies, that was our plates for that night. She would boil hot dogs, pop some popcorn and those special nights we got soda. Mom, my 2 brothers and I would all pile up on the blanket that mom laid in the floor in front of the TV and watch movies that night while we ate. We loved it. We didn't have money but mom had an imagination. Days and memories that we will never forget. e will never firget.
I just saw this video today, and you were hilarious! I love it! I was a former lunch lady and I loved the school pizza and was trying to find a recipe for it. I have to make this at home, thanks for sharing.
I'm glad that you called the pizza that was served in schools' cafeterias 'rectangular pizzas'! I hate when people call it 'square pizza', since the pizza is shaped like rectangles, not squares! :D
My school had these weird ham like bits, in place of the ground beef. It wasn't ham, but very ham like and it always puzzled me, but I never questioned the sage like wisdom of the lunch ladies.
In middle and high school they had pizza everyday and it's what most kids would eat. I remember asking for "pizza and fries" pretty much always. So healthy! We'd sometimes get the ham you're talking about and other times get sausage. I think the "ham" was supposed to be pepperoni, just cubed rather than sliced.
I'm 30yrs old and lived in a small Georgia town. Wasn't no processed trays for lunch at school. We had real food cooked in the cafeteria...they made the best grilled cheese! Went to a few grades in middle school in California and was shocked at the school system. Shit for lunch, processed trays delivered cold put under heat lamps, no veggies or salads, no air conditioning in the classroom so your lunch was in danger of spoiling if you brought something from home
When I was in school..the lunchrooms used Heinz Sausage pizza, which was cut in the shape of a rectangle...my mom supervised one of the High schools in Dallas...so I recall most of the brends they used...
Love the voice. Was very nice and rustic which added a nice home like feel to the vibes this video was giving out. Good job with the video. And hey, you gained a subscriber.
Not bad! The crust tastes about like I remember. Personally, I think it was a bit too sweet for my liking and could benefit from some extra salt. I would also add some garlic powder and Italian seasoning for more flavor. Also, I got better results and a more airy texture from proofing the batter (covering it and letting the yeast work on it) for at least 5-10 minutes before pouring it. Longer still may be better. Overall, I think this has some potential! I'm going to tinker with it a bit more and see what I can do with it.
Oh man, I remember showing up to the school cafeteria with a little zip-lock bag that was just big enough to carry $1.25 and forking it over for a slice of this, a scoop of hot corn, and a scoop of canned pineapple. You could put both the corn AND the pineapple on top of the pizza!
OMG. Nostalgia is real. With the way the world is today, I’d go back to 1980’s and 1990’s in a heartbeat. This pizza WAS LIFE back then. All that's needed now is a carton of chocolate milk, corn, and a fruit cup.

Thanks, man. I have screenshotted it. And for the ground beef one, I'm gonna use half lb ground beef, half lb Italian sausage for it.
Thanks for listing the recipe!! Much appreciated. I miss my elementary school's rectangle pizza, like many of us here. Ah, the olden days! LOL
Bless you! I was crying!
Thank you!
Many thanks, you are awesome !
The original recipe does call for 1/2 pound of Italian sausage and 1/2 pound of ground beef! My Aunt use to make it for us.
Can you share the actual recipe with the measurements? Please!
Yes please!
Or do you have a link?
Make with the recipe, will ya!!
Mmmmmm..I love those square pizzas 😋👍
“You hungry?” is a question I’ve never said no to with a lady standing behind a giant pizza
"Did mama not feed you today?" 😂😂😂
😂 You can come back and get another.
*looks at her* she's about to. ;)
You did a good job at my school they took a fork and poked holes in the crust before baking, it is a sticky wet dough, you can put seasoning on the parchment before you spread the dough on to help the crust but you did a great job!

Yes, you could always see the fork holes through the bottom.
I'd honestly be okay with a lukewarm slice of elementary school breakfast pizza as my last meal.
I would only be ok if it was made by a real lunch lady in front of me and i got the whole thing to myself.
Deadazz

my husband and i make this for our kids all the time on english muffins or bagels...but now i'm gonna do it with the crust from this vid. we make country gravy and add sauted breakfast sausage to it. sometimes we put scrambled eggs on this too sometimes not. always topped with cheese. tastes EXACTLY like those breakfast pizzas!
I’m 11 and my school still serves it
Thank you for this! It brought back lots of memories. School pizza was the best 😁
Thank you for your humor. I was talking about school pizza today. MY absolute favorite as well as the tuna fish they served. I cannot wait to watch your next video.
So good!
That was best sausage pizza i can still taste it.Thank you.
Back in the 1970s when I was in grade school, I think ours had ground sausage on it, not beef. Looks good though.
I was a teen in Florida, I think our lunch ladies used leftover sloppy joes or something on our pizza, it was usually Thursdays or later in the week, so I think they slopped on what they had, also I think I spied leftover veggies in there too, same with meatloaf, green beans and everything in it, but they made it taste so good.
Also, ours had yellow cheese, no doubt the government cheese, but man, was it EVER good, so thank you for the recipe for the crust.
I grew up in Jax and I tried this recipe and it was not nearly as good as what we had in Duval County. I think the Floridians did something extra for sure.
Love your sense of humor and boy does that pizza look delicious!
I like her hosting approach. Dry & Mellow, feels like she's seen some stuff.
Oh my goodness..lol, I love this video so much! I was craving the school pizza, I had no idea I'd get all of these laughs to go with it..lol, I'll give this recipe a try, cuz.. why not? lol!
How did it turn out? Enquiring minds are dying to know
@@jonburrows2684 full disclosure.. I've been too lazy to do it, and I sure wish someone else would..lol!
@@mzericathompson9835 I've been making my own pizzas, but not the school pizza. I buy pizza buddy dough that's already made. I spread it out over a 16" round pizza pan. Add Rao's sauce, mozerella and parmesan cheese and then the pepperoni on top. It's good.
@@jonburrows2684 that sounds delicious and I'm hearing so many people talk about Rao's, I need to try it!
I remember this vividly! Childhood memories 🥰🥰
This is the cutest video! You are really funny! Thank you for bringing back nice memories!🤣😀
😊 thank you
The main reason i loved school.
I can't wait to try this. I thought they came frozen also. Been looking forever to find a place to buy them. Now I get to cook one. Yess. Sausage with the seed though. Remember that very well. I found that school peanut bar today also. 2 ole school classics.
Schwann’s Tony’s smart pizza is the same thing.
Great video All the way around! Thank you kindly for sharing! God bless!
It's been 50 years since I've been in school and I don't ever recall a breakfast pizza school lunches yes but even with our school lunches we never had a pizza of any kind. I never heard of a school breakfast pizza until I watch this video.
55 here and I don't remember breakfast pizza and I went to school in Ms where there were so many kids that they had to bring small trailers in for the class rooms. Then I've been to schools in Missouri where a full class was actually a half of a classroom.
That’s pretty close, except I was expecting pellet shaped sausage with fennel seeds.
Brian Creamer omg yes!!!!! Are you an 80s baby?
Yes! That’s the magic ingredient to make the authentic school pizza I remember! 🍕 😋 80s kid here also
@@jasreallySUCCS 70s/80s. I still pine for those darned rectangle sausage pellet pizzas from time to time. :-)
The pizza was the best thing the lunchroom had going! 70s/80s here too. Never the same without the fennel seeds!
Ours had the tiny cubes of pepperoni that got mixed in underneath the cheese
Lunch Lady, we've got the pizza. Where's the corn? We always had corn with our school pizza.
Sure did!!!!:)
You're charming. Man, I remember one day in 5th grade my school ran out of pizza. There was saddness all over the lunch room
I absolutely loved this pizza I doubt they sell them anymore. ours came in frozen I asked the lunchlady. it was either topped with sausage or tightly packed tiny meatballs because it definitely wasn't rough ground. loved those powdered watery eggs also
When i went to school we had the round stop sign pizzas. Also we had the little square pepperoni pizzas.
I never had this type of pizza. Also the meat was chopped up smaller like they used a food processor or something..
The stop sign pizzas was everyone's favorite.
We had the rectangle pepperoni pizza. Never sausage. I was upset I wasn't on school lunches bc i loved them. I used to trade with kids who got free lunch
@@tomorrowhappy4869 Who peed in your cheerios? If you're so concerned about Jesus you can start by not calling people names
Donna Lynn sorry for being so disrespectful
Loved your video.
It looks delicious.
My husband I always talk about how we miss school pizza
Our school system also made a hamburger bun pizza with a meat sauce and cheese. I'm sure the bun was browned, because it was crunchy and the meat sauce was deliciously tangy, they called them pizza bugers.
Mom would make them with a piece of bread, pizza sauce, hamburger and cheese. We called it Poor Man's Pizza. Of course mom came up with cowboy night too. She would save the aluminum pans from pies, that was our plates for that night. She would boil hot dogs, pop some popcorn and those special nights we got soda. Mom, my 2 brothers and I would all pile up on the blanket that mom laid in the floor in front of the TV and watch movies that night while we ate. We loved it. We didn't have money but mom had an imagination. Days and memories that we will never forget. e will never firget.
Just watched you for first time...you are hilarious! So real! Love it!
😊 thank you
Omg she's spot on! "Hey bby you hungry?"😆! ❤️ it
Either Tony’s or Totinos have a hamburger pizza is EXACTLY like school pizza from the 70s and 80s!! Buy some....you’ll be happy!!
I love Totino’s pizza’s
Those are so good. Combination is my fave
@@moellersgrl mine too 😊
I just saw this video today, and you were hilarious! I love it! I was a former lunch lady and I loved the school pizza and was trying to find a recipe for it. I have to make this at home, thanks for sharing.
I remember this pizza. I loved it.
I’d love to make this but I’m having issues with the site. Can you post the recipe? Pleeeeease🙏🙏🙏
This woman is oddly entertaining. Love the pizza
I miss school pizza. They also made a breakfast one on my elementary school
We could get this every day at school. Sometimes it would be a crust like this, sometimes it would be a thicker focaccia like crust.
😂😂 you’re awesome and funny! It looks great. I’m going to try it also. I like that you can feed all of the kids with this sheet pan pizza.🌸
I'm glad that you called the pizza that was served in schools' cafeterias 'rectangular pizzas'! I hate when people call it 'square pizza', since the pizza is shaped like rectangles, not squares! :D
A square is a rectangle. A rectangle is not a square. 🤓
My school had these weird ham like bits, in place of the ground beef. It wasn't ham, but very ham like and it always puzzled me, but I never questioned the sage like wisdom of the lunch ladies.
In middle and high school they had pizza everyday and it's what most kids would eat. I remember asking for "pizza and fries" pretty much always. So healthy! We'd sometimes get the ham you're talking about and other times get sausage. I think the "ham" was supposed to be pepperoni, just cubed rather than sliced.

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!
I bet I could eat the entire thing!
😲😄
I'm 30yrs old and lived in a small Georgia town. Wasn't no processed trays for lunch at school. We had real food cooked in the cafeteria...they made the best grilled cheese! Went to a few grades in middle school in California and was shocked at the school system. Shit for lunch, processed trays delivered cold put under heat lamps, no veggies or salads, no air conditioning in the classroom so your lunch was in danger of spoiling if you brought something from home
That reminds me, also being from the south, the best cornbread I ever had was from my elementary school cafeteria. - Well Done
When I was in school..the lunchrooms used Heinz Sausage pizza, which was cut in the shape of a rectangle...my mom supervised one of the High schools in Dallas...so I recall most of the brends they used...
This was so cool. Loved it. I might try this. I miss that pizza from the late 70s at my high school.
School pizza was the best!
Love the voice. Was very nice and rustic which added a nice home like feel to the vibes this video was giving out. Good job with the video. And hey, you gained a subscriber.
The one kid was forced to eat it, wasn't hungry 😂😂😂
Not bad! The crust tastes about like I remember. Personally, I think it was a bit too sweet for my liking and could benefit from some extra salt. I would also add some garlic powder and Italian seasoning for more flavor. Also, I got better results and a more airy texture from proofing the batter (covering it and letting the yeast work on it) for at least 5-10 minutes before pouring it. Longer still may be better. Overall, I think this has some potential! I'm going to tinker with it a bit more and see what I can do with it.
Nice! Sounds like you've got this. Let us know if you find any improvements.
Oh man, I remember showing up to the school cafeteria with a little zip-lock bag that was just big enough to carry $1.25 and forking it over for a slice of this, a scoop of hot corn, and a scoop of canned pineapple. You could put both the corn AND the pineapple on top of the pizza!
This made me Smile loved Squared School Pizza!!!
I swear, school pizza tasted better than any restaurant.
In my country, we do opposite. Crust goes last. We pour batter on top of cheese and sauce, then cook.
What country? And restaurant pizza is like that also or just the school pizza?
That was so much fun!
i can listen to her voice all day 🥰
Love this... ill have to make it
Very Entertaining
I am crying! Why in the world did RUclips send me this. I'm sure she's adorable in her world. But the pizza is on point.
My favorite thing to eat during middle school. In hs, they stopped serving this t.t
School lunch pizza was my favorite next to the Philly cheese steak subs and the egg rolls. Definitely gonna have to try this recipe!
How fun love this 🙏💜💜 I remember this pizza 🍕
Omg I been tryna find this recipe
Hope you enjoy
OHHH boy we all know this was on Friday and had the free fruit snacks
School pizza was the best
This is so beautiful
