Easy Mini Pepperoni Pizza Muffins
Hey everyone! Today I’m sharing the recipe for my Mini Pepperoni Pizza Muffins and they’re so delicious and easy to make! These pizza muffins are made with simple ingredients including refrigerated pizza dough, pizza sauce, diced pepperoni, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasoning, and baked in a mini muffin pan.
Even better these mini pepperoni pizza muffins can be on your table for dinner tonight in less than 20 minutes, and you and your family are going to love them!
Mini Pepperoni Pizza Muffins
Our family is a group of serious pizza lovers and we typically have pizza at least once a week. When things aren’t super hectic, we even like to have what we call “Family Pizza Night” where we eat pizza and curl up on the couch and watch a movie together. While we sometimes will order out for pizza, we mostly like to make our own at home and these delicious pizza muffin cups are one of the most requested items by my husband and boys.
These mini pizza muffins are the perfect meal for fun family nights, a great appetizer idea for entertaining with friends, or amazing on days when you are simply craving the delicious flavor of pepperoni pizza. These pizza muffins may be small in size but they are packed full of flavor and will definitely leave you feeling fully satisfied. You can also add other ingredients to your muffins if pepperoni isn’t your thing, such as sausage, ham and pineapple, or just cheese.
You can also easily double the recipe by using two cans of pizza dough if you’re serving a large crowd or want leftovers for the next day. These warm up really nice in the microwave and I love packing them for lunch. Make sure to grab a mini muffin pan if you don’t already have one. I absolutely love this affordable 48 mini cup one.
Just look at how delicious the cheese, sauce, and pepperoni looks! Also, can I just point out the fact that everything is cuter in mini form? Seriously, think about it. Miniature ponies, miniature cupcakes, miniature pepperoni pizza muffins… the list goes on and on! π

I absolutely love this! My husband and I usually do pizza night once a week (big pizza lovers!)… and usually in conjunction with the bachelor/bachelorette. π We were just discussing that we should do more homemade pizzas – I am going to try this! Thanks for the amazing ideas (as always! )

I adore mini foods. These sound great and easy – two main criteria for me.
Me too! I always think in my mind that they don’t have calories attached to them too, so I don’t feel as bad when I eat like 10-haha π
Such a cute idea! I have done something similar, but I have used crescent rolls instead – making a pizza wrap! These are such a good quick bite to eat!
Thank-you! Oh, I’ve tried those before too and they are delicious! Pretty much anything pizza flavored is amazing in my book-haha π
Love these! I’ve been eating way too much pizza lately so bite sized is perfect!
Thanks! Yes, it’s a nice switch-up from regular pizza π
YUM! We are also huge pizza lovers and these are definitely something we will have to try! Love how cute and little they are. Haha!
Thank-you! I don’t know what it is about mini items, but they are just so cute! haha and calories totally don’t count π

Thank-you! To be so small they are packed with flavor and are always devoured by our boys! π
