Individual Pizzas(Method: Box Oven)
Individual pizzas with salami, cheddar, and tomato sauce offer a crispy crust and savory toppings, perfect for quick snacks or casual gatherings with bold flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Shred salami with a knife or shears.
- Roll biscuit dough very thin.
- Cut the dough into 12 rounds, each approximately 5 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Place the dough rounds on a cookie sheet and flute the edges.
- Spread each with tomato sauce and sprinkle with oregano (about 1/8 to 1 1/4 teaspoons per round).
- Top with shredded salami and grated cheddar cheese.
- Bake until the biscuits are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, consider pre-baking the dough rounds for a few minutes before adding toppings. You can substitute the salami with pepperoni or even vegetables for a vegetarian option. If you don’t have biscuit mix, all-purpose flour works well; just add a teaspoon of baking powder per cup. Fresh oregano can replace dried for a more vibrant flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These individual pizzas are perfect for a casual gathering or game night. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or a platter of fresh vegetables with dip for a balanced meal. They also pair beautifully with the Holiday Sausage Balls for a festive spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover 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 10 minutes or until heated through. This keeps the crust crispy while melting the cheese perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these individual pizzas?
Yes, you can freeze assembled pizzas before baking. Wrap each in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to bake, simply remove the wrapping and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I use instead of tomato sauce?
If you're looking for alternatives to tomato sauce, try using pesto or barbecue sauce for a different flavor profile. You can also use a white sauce or even a spread like liver spread for a unique twist.
How can I make these pizzas more nutritious?
To boost the nutritional value, consider adding chopped vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach on top of the cheese. You can also opt for whole wheat biscuit mix to increase fiber content, making these pizzas a more wholesome choice.
