We all have that one friend who loves a slice more than anything. If you're looking for a pizza gift for that person on your list, you've come to the right place.
We rounded up all of our favorite gift ideas for pizza lovers, from cool kitchen gadgets and presents they'll need to make pizza (like a pizza oven, pizza cookbooks and more) to funny, pizza-themed novelty items that'll make them laugh — and that they'll actually use! Our food editors weighed in on their must-have tools for making a truly top-notch pie (hint: it starts with a pizza stone) plus kitschy gifts recommended by food lovers, for food lovers.
Get them something practical that they'll use every time they go to make a pie, like a pizza peel (which is key for sliding pizzas seamlessly into and out of an oven) or a pair of pizza scissors to instantly upgrade their slicing game. If pizza has become more of a personality trait than just a hobby, consider items they can wear or display proudly, like a t-shirt, phone case or even a glowy neon sign. Since you know your friend best, we included a range of items for both the casual pizza lover to the borderline pizzaiolo and everyone in between.
These pizza gifts will show your friend that when you think of pizza, you think of them — and that might be better than even the best slice in town.

You can also make homemade pizza dough in a food processor (we love this easy-to-use, precise model). Simply pulse together flour, sugar and instant yeast, then drizzle in water, olive oil and salt. The trusty tool can also help with your toppings — use it to slice veggies or purée a sauce.

Measuring out ingredients by weight — not by volume, like teaspoons and cups — is a more precise way to cook and bake. Precision is generally more important when it comes to baking, when even a smidge more or less flour can mean a ruined dough. Take the frustration out of your pizza-loving friend's cooking with our favorite digital kitchen scale.
Everyone loves a pair of food-themed socks, but this gift takes it up a notch by serving them in a pizza-shaped box.
