Ingredients
Instructions
- Lay two refrigerator biscuit tubes side by side and press out into a circular shape.
- Place the flattened biscuits on greased cookie sheets.
- Spread pizza sauce over each biscuit base.
- Add desired toppings such as pepperoni, chopped ham, diced onion, chopped green pepper, mushrooms, or other toppings of choice.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the toppings.
- Bake in a 375°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the flattened biscuits for 5 minutes before adding sauce and toppings. You can substitute the pizza sauce with marinara or even pesto for a unique flavor. Feel free to mix up the toppings with your favorites; think of adding cooked sausage or even vegetables like spinach. A sprinkle of Italian seasoning can elevate the dish.
Serving Suggestions
These mini pizzas are perfect for parties or family gatherings. Serve them alongside a fresh garden salad or a bowl of Split Pea Vegetable Soup for a complete meal. Consider offering a variety of dips, such as garlic sauce or ranch dressing, to enhance the flavor experience. They also make great finger foods for game day or movie night.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pizza on a baking sheet in a preheated 375°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melty again. Alternatively, use a microwave for a quick reheat, but this may result in a softer crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits! Just thaw them according to package instructions before pressing them into shape. Ensure they are fully thawed so they cook evenly and achieve the desired texture.
What other toppings can I use on my pizza?
You can customize your pizza with any toppings you like! Try adding cooked bacon, sliced olives, or even fresh basil. For a twist, top with sweet barbecue sauce instead of regular pizza sauce, which pairs beautifully with chicken.
How do I make these pizzas healthier?
To make healthier pizzas, opt for whole wheat biscuits or a cauliflower crust. Load up on vegetables and limit cheese to reduce calories. You can also add lean proteins like grilled chicken or turkey pepperoni for a nutritious boost.
