Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Using a rolling pin, roll each biscuit to 1/4-inch thickness and place on the cookie sheet.
- Put a tablespoon of pizza sauce on each biscuit.
- Add desired toppings and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over all.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, consider baking the biscuits for a few minutes before adding the sauce and toppings. If you don’t have pizza sauce, marinara or even pesto can work well as alternatives. Feel free to mix up the cheese; a blend of mozzarella and cheddar adds a nice flavor. You can also experiment with toppings like sliced olives, pepperoni, or fresh vegetables to create personalized flavors.
Serving Suggestions
These personal pizzas are perfect for a casual family dinner or game night. Serve them with a side salad for a fresh contrast or pair with a refreshing Cool Orange Drink to complement the meal. They also make great party appetizers, allowing guests to customize their own toppings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover personal pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, but this may result in a softer crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade dough instead of refrigerator biscuits?
Absolutely! If you prefer making your own dough, a simple pizza dough recipe will work well. Just roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness, just like the biscuits. This allows for more control over the thickness and flavor of your crust.
What are some good toppings for these personal pizzas?
You can get creative with toppings! Popular choices include pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and cooked sausage. For a vegetarian option, try using fresh spinach, artichokes, or sliced tomatoes. Mixing different cheeses can also enhance the flavor.
Can I freeze these personal pizzas?
Yes, you can freeze unbaked personal pizzas! Assemble them without baking, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, simply remove from the freezer and bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
