A flavorful combination pizza featuring cheesy, savory toppings on a biscuit crust, perfect for quick family dinners or casual gatherings with friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Spread biscuit dough onto a greased pizza pan.
- Spread half a jar of pizza sauce over the dough.
- Combine mozzarella, cheddar, and American cheeses and spread over the sauce.
- Layer pepperoni, diced onion, and diced olives on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust is light brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispy crust, make sure to spread the biscuit dough evenly and press it into the edges of the pan. Feel free to substitute any cheese based on your preference; for example, pepper jack can add a nice kick. If you're short on time, use store-bought pizza sauce or even a pesto as a base. Consider adding cooked sausage or bacon for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This combination pizza pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. Consider serving it alongside a dipping sauce like ranch or garlic butter. For a fun twist, serve slices with a side of pickled jalapeños for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, a microwave can be used, but the crust may become soft, so use a paper towel to help absorb moisture.
