Is it crazy to be a fan of meatball pizza? If so, call me crazy. Love the meatball pizza at Firepit Pizza. Will they share the recipe? — Gabi King, Atlanta

Firepit Pizza Tavern is known for its brick oven pizza, and chef Shaun Whitmer was happy to share the recipe for the restaurant’s meatballs, and the meatball pizza our reader craves.

Note that these are truly giant meatballs, almost a quarter pound each. It only takes two to top a pizza, but we bet you’ll find plenty of other ways to enjoy the remaining meatballs. Refrigerated pizza dough is now widely available at many grocers.
