Mini Pepperoni Pizza Cups
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 Mini Pepperoni Pizza Cups are one of the most requested items by my husband and boys. Even better, these pizza cups can be on the table in less than 20 minutes!
These tiny treats are perfect for fun family nights, entertaining with friends, or days where you are simply craving the delicious flavor of pizza. These pizza bites may be small but they are packed full of flavor and will definitely leave you feeling fully satisfied.
Also, can I just point out the fact that everything is cuter in mini form. Seriously, think about it. Miniature ponies, miniature cupcakes, miniature muffins, miniature pizza cups… the list goes on and on! 😉
Mini Pepperoni Pizza Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- Non-stick Cooking Spray
- 1 11 oz. can of Pizza Crust
- 1 jar of Pizza Sauce
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Pepperoni Slices
- Italian Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and coat mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Lay pizza crust out flat and using a small round cookie cutter, cut out small squares. One pizza dough typically makes enough for about 36 pizza bites.
- Place and shape each circle into mini muffin pan.
- Place one pepperoni on top on each pizza bite and top with a small amount of pizza sauce.
- Sprinkle with desired amount of mozzarella cheese.
- Dice pepperoni slices into small cubes and carefully place them on top of the cheese.
- Place into oven for 7-10 minutes, or until sides and bottom are lightly golden.
- Remove pizza bites from oven and lightly sprinkle with Italian seasoning, if desired.
- Serve with Marinara Sauce or Ranch Dressing and enjoy!
Notes
Refrigerate any leftovers and store in an airtight container
