Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza crust

    13.8 ounce

  • ¾ cup pizza sauce
  • ¾ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 12-18 slices sliced pepperoni

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray the muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Unroll the pizza dough. Using a knife or pizza cutter, roll out and cut the dough into 12 squares. Place 1 square in each muffin cup, then use your fingers to gently press the dough to fit into the bottom.

  3. 3

    Add the pizza filling. Spoon a heaping spoonful of pizza sauce into each pizza cup. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoonful of the mozzarella on top of the sauce. Cut the pepperoni slices in half, then add 2 or 3 pieces to each cup.

  4. 4

    Bake the pizza cups. Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is hot. Allow to cool slightly in the pan before tipping the cups out of the pan and serving.

About this Recipe

Looking for the ultimate crowd-pleaser that's unbelievably simple to make? These Pizza Cups are your answer, transforming classic pizza flavors into a delicious, bite-sized delight perfect for any occasion.

This recipe shines by leveraging the convenience of refrigerated pizza crust, making it a breeze for even novice cooks. It’s the ultimate hack for getting delicious, warm pizza goodness on the table with minimal fuss and maximum flavor, truly living up to its “easy” promise for game day appetizers, after-school snacks, lunch, or dinner.

Imagine biting into a perfectly golden, slightly crispy crust cup, overflowing with tangy pizza sauce, gooey melted mozzarella, and savory pepperoni. Each bite is a concentrated burst of classic pizza flavor, miniaturized for ultimate snackability. These mini pizzas are designed to be an effortless joy, delivering big taste in a fun, handheld package that everyone will love.

While pepperoni is a classic, feel free to get creative! Swap it for cooked crumbled sausage, diced bell peppers, or even a sprinkle of Italian seasoning for a vegetarian option. You can also experiment with different cheeses, like provolone or a sharp cheddar blend, or add a pinch of garlic powder to your sauce for extra depth. If you prefer, using homemade pizza dough will also work beautifully.

These versatile Pizza Cups are fantastic as a Game Day appetizer, a quick after-school snack, or even a fun, casual lunch or dinner. Serve them warm and watch them disappear!
