Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough.
- Pinch off a portion of dough and shape it into a round circle.
- Flatten the dough with your palm to desired thickness.
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and place the dough on it.
- Spoon pizza sauce over the dough and add sliced pepperoni on top.

Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for 5 minutes before adding sauce and toppings. If you don't have pizza sauce, marinara or spaghetti sauce can work as a substitute. Experiment with different toppings like bell peppers or olives to customize your pizza. For a healthier twist, consider using a low-carb crustless pizza option instead.
Serving Suggestions
This personal-sized pizza is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Pair it with a fresh garden salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal. For a fun twist, serve it alongside a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara. It also makes a great snack while watching a movie!
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain the crispiness of the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade dough instead of refrigerated pizza dough?
Absolutely! If you prefer homemade dough, you can use your favorite recipe. Just make sure it’s rolled out to a similar thickness to ensure even baking. This allows you to customize the flavor and texture to your liking, making the pizza truly your own.
What can I add to the pizza to make it more flavorful?
Consider adding spices like oregano or garlic powder to the sauce for an extra kick. You can also sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or mozzarella on top before baking for added depth of flavor. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding fresh basil or arugula after baking for a fresh finish.
How can I make this pizza vegetarian?
To make this pizza vegetarian, simply omit the pepperoni and add your favorite vegetables instead. Bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach are great options. You could also add some olives or artichokes for added flavor. This way, you can enjoy a delicious veggie pizza that’s equally satisfying.
