Quick and easy pizza bites using refrigerated biscuits, topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni—perfect for a fast snack or casual meal for any pizza lover.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to biscuit package directions.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuits.
- Press each biscuit flat in the middle, creating a rim around the outside edge.
- Spread pizza sauce on top of each biscuit.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Top with three slices of pepperoni on each biscuit.
- Bake according to the package directions until golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to your pizzas. If you don't have pepperoni, substitute with cooked sausage or even olives for a vegetarian option. To enhance the flavor, sprinkle some Italian seasoning or garlic powder over the cheese. For a crunchy texture, pre-bake the biscuits for a few minutes before adding toppings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these easy pizzas with a side salad for a balanced meal. They also pair beautifully with Dawn'S Breakfast Casserole for a fun brunch spread. For dipping, consider offering extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing on the side. These mini pizzas can be great for gatherings or game days.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help maintain their crispiness compared to using a microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pizzas ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pizzas a few hours in advance. Assemble them without baking, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, simply bake them according to the package instructions, adding a few extra minutes if they are cold from the fridge.
What can I use instead of biscuits?
If you don't have refrigerated biscuits, consider using pizza dough or a pre-made pizza crust. For a gluten-free option, look for gluten-free biscuit mix or dough that can be shaped into rounds. This allows for a variety of textures and flavors while keeping the essence of the dish.
Can I freeze these pizzas?
Yes, these mini pizzas can be frozen before baking. Assemble them, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe container. To bake, simply add a few extra minutes to the cooking time when baking from frozen.
