These pizza muffins are super easy, delicious, and ready in less than 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
- 10 tablespoons pizza sauce (such as Ragu® Homestyle)
- 10 slices pepperoni
- 10 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray 10 muffin cups with cooking spray.
Step 2
Press biscuits, one at a time, between hands to flatten. Place each flattened biscuit in a muffin cup; press into bottom and up sides of cup. Set aside for dough to settle and slightly rise, about 5 minutes; lightly press dough into cups if needed.
Step 3
Spoon 1 tablespoon pizza sauce into each dough cup; top each with 1 slice pepperoni and 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until pizza muffins are lightly browned and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Remove from tin and place on a cooling rack to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

I made these yesterday for my mom and kids. They were simple to put together, and needed very little cleanup or prep time. My mom said she liked them and kids were happy, which is always great. I used my favorite pizza sauce (Classico brand) and made some with pepperoni and some with broccoli. This is an easily customized recipe to make any style pizza desired. I appreciate the idea of using biscuits in muffin cups to make cute little mini-pizzas.

I wanted a simple recipe that my 3-year-old could help me make and this was perfect. I didn’t want the pizza too bready so I peeled the biscuit in half before my daughter flattened and pressed it into the muffin tin. My daughter could do every part of this recipe, except put it in the oven and take it out. She was so proud that she made dinner for the family.

Thank you for this recipe. We make these all the time, a great portable snack. We also serve them at our kids’ parties, and kids always love them. Sometimes we make them in mini-muffin tins so they’ll be appetizer sized. We do use homemade pizza dough instead of canned biscuit dough, and they rise up high.

These were delicious! We used one package of flaky layered biscuit dough and it worked well. We used about half of the biscuit and then stretched them to fit in the muffin pan. We also added more pepperoni layered in between two layers of sprinkled cheese. Next time we’ll use some more pizza sauce.
It’s important to let them cool, otherwise you could burn your mouth (my boyfriend learned the hard way).

This was great. I am always looking for an easy snack for our weekly MahJongg game. Something inexpensive, easy , but good of course. This completely fit the bill. I sprinkled a small amount of Italian seasoning on each one. Everyone loved them. It gave me ideas for other combos. Thank you.

These were so simple, easy and delicious! I was asked to bring an appetizer for Mother’s Day and being 9 months pregnant I really did not feel like being in the kitchen that day. I saw this recipe in the magazine and decided to try it. SO glad I did!! Everyone loved them. I cut the biscuits in half after reading other reviews and omitted the pepperoni (only because I did not have any). I filled each biscuit cup with chunky marinara sauce baked them for 10 minutes then topped them with grated mozzarella and baked them for another 3 minutes until the cheese melted. Perfect! Definitely will be making these again! The addition of your favorite pizza options are endless for a customized appetizer.

Yummy easy meal! I took the often-mentioned suggestion from other reviewers to divide the biscuit dough in half and it was good. I also added minced veggies and fresh basil and parsley to the mix to pump up the flavors. Looking forward to lunch leftovers of this tomorrow!

I made 10 ( one can of biscuits) to start out. I did use more peperoni than called for. And then our son came in!
I ended up running to the store and getting a can of large biscuits. I had plenty of sauce and pepperoni and stuff.
Cutting the large canned biscuits in half and making everything the same, i ended up making 26 of these.
I ended with 6 left over, and i only ate 1.
I barely got them out of the oven before they were gobbled up.
Thats a good recipe! -

These were Delicious little bites! I split the biscuits into 3 so I got 24 little pizzas. Not too bready. My grand daughter and I made these for “movie night”. We put 1 slice of pepperoni on hers, and 1 slice of mushroom and 1 slice of pepperoni on ours. The mushroom and pepperoni were the best! I made Chef John’s homemade pizza sauce from this site. The only problem was that I had a terrible time getting these out of the muffin pans. I sprayed liberally with Pam olive oil. Any suggestions? I ate way too many of these, so yummy!

According to every child in my house, these are delicious! I?ve made them several times using different pizza toppings. I?ve made them using Pillsbury regular biscuits and also with Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Butter Tastin? biscuits. The Grands win hands down. If you use the Grands, I recommend splitting them in half because they?re so large – plus you get more of them. 🙂 These are easy to tailor for a household full of different preferences – some just cheese, some pepperoni and some meat lovers. The kids can easily help. What parent doesn?t love an easy dinner? It?s a go to for sure. Thank you for sharing!

These are good. Definitely reduce the amount of dough or the taste of the toppings is lost. I used two coin sized pepperoni in each but would use a few more toppings next time. I didn’t have any store bought biscuits so I made a batch of of home made buttermilk biscuits and they were great. Half of them got baked as regular honey butter topped buttermilk biscuits and the rest for this recipe so it was perfect!
