Ingredients

  • 1 can original biscuit dough (store-bought refrigerated biscuits)
  • 12 oz pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 package pepperoni (or any preferred toppings)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  • Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Peel each biscuit in half so you double the number of rounds—this creates thinner, bite-sized bases that crisp nicely.
  • Lightly roll each halved biscuit to flatten it, aiming for an even thickness so they bake uniformly. Arrange the rounds on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a small gap between each.
  • Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each round, spreading it gently but leaving a small outer edge for a crust. Top with a small scoop of shredded mozzarella and a slice or pieces of pepperoni. Finish with a light sprinkle of Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–18 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them near the end of baking time—thinner rounds cook quickly.
  • Remove from the oven and let the mini pizza biscuits rest on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. This helps the cheese set slightly and makes them easier to handle.
  • Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or party finger food. These are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later (see storage tips below).

Tips

For crispier bites, place the sheet pan on the middle rack and bake until the edges are a deep golden color. If using thicker biscuit dough, flatten slightly more to ensure even cooking. Swap pepperoni for cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms to customize flavors. Use pre-shredded cheese for convenience or shred fresh mozzarella for a creamier melt.

Variations

Make vegetarian mini pizzas by skipping the meat and adding a variety of vegetables. Try a white sauce version with garlic butter and ricotta instead of pizza sauce. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot honey after baking.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 6–8 minutes, or until heated through and crisp. Reheating in a toaster oven helps restore crisp edges.

Serving Suggestions

Serve mini pizza biscuits with extra warm pizza sauce for dipping or offer a selection of dipping sauces such as ranch, garlic butter, or marinara. They pair well with a simple salad or vegetable sticks for a balanced snack or light meal.
