Introduction

These Mini Pizzas are a quick and fun way to satisfy your pizza cravings in under 30 minutes. With a flaky biscuit base and customizable toppings, they’re perfect for a family snack or a casual gathering.

Six small round pizzas sit on a golden wire rack over a white marbled surface, each with a thick golden crust. The toppings vary: one pizza features melted white cheese with slices of dark mushrooms, diced green bell peppers, and small bits of red onion; another is covered in golden melted cheese with tiny red pepperoni circles; a third combines pepperoni and black olive rings scattered evenly over melted cheese. Two pizzas have slices missing, revealing the cheesy inside and tomato sauce beneath. Around the rack, there are white bowls with grated cheese and green basil leaves, a glass with dark soda and ice, and a metal pizza cutter with a wooden handle. The scene is bright and colorful, with a yellow and white checkered cloth partially visible. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Original Biscuits (8 count)
1 cup pizza sauce (or marinara, pesto, Alfredo sauce, or any sauce you prefer)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Optional toppings: mini or regular pepperonis, bacon, veggies, black olives
Fresh parsley or basil leaves, minced for garnishing

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Press each biscuit into a 6 to 8-inch round and place them on a large parchment-lined baking sheet (around 21×15 inches), or divide between two smaller sheets. Stretch the dough as thin as possible because it will puff up while baking.
Step 2: Spread a generous amount of your chosen sauce evenly over each dough round. Top with shredded mozzarella, parmesan if using, and your favorite toppings.
Step 3: Bake the pizzas for 12 to 15 minutes until the bottoms turn deep golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. For extra color on top, broil for 1-2 minutes—watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 4: Remove the mini pizzas from the oven and let them rest on the pan for a minute or two. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, and sprinkle with dried oregano or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor.

Tips & Variations

Try different sauce bases like pesto or Alfredo for a unique twist.
Use gluten-free biscuit dough if you need a gluten-free option.

For extra crispiness, prebake the dough rounds for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings.
Mix and match toppings to suit your taste or what’s in your fridge.

Storage

Store leftover mini pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

A group of seven small pizzas is shown on a gold wire rack over a white marbled surface. Each pizza has a thick, golden crust with a layer of red tomato sauce underneath melted golden cheese. Toppings vary: one pizza has black olive slices, green bell pepper chunks, diced red onion, and mushroom slices; another is covered with small round pepperoni slices on the cheese; a different pizza is topped with green bell pepper pieces, diced red onion, and large mushroom slices. Two pizzas have one slice taken out, resting nearby. Surrounding the pizzas are small beige dishes with green basil leaves and grated cheese, a cold drink with ice, and seasoning jars. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned biscuits?

Yes, homemade biscuit dough works well. Just roll it out thinly to match the size and thickness of the canned biscuits for even baking.

Can I freeze these mini pizzas?

You can freeze cooked mini pizzas by wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
