Print Recipe

These Easy Mini Pepperoni Pizza Bites are a homemade version of the classic Lunchables pizza kits, made with real ingredients and a flaky, golden crust. They’re quick, simple, and perfect for lunchboxes, weeknight dinners, or a fun snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury Grands! Homestyle or Buttermilk)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperonis
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate the 8 biscuits. Gently flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Place the flattened dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto the center of each round, leaving a small border.
  4. Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella over the sauce on each round. Arrange 4-5 mini pepperonis on top of the cheese and press down gently.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder. Lightly brush the exposed edges of the dough with the garlic butter.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian seasoning if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Don’t skip flattening the dough to get the perfect snackable disc shape. Use low-moisture mozzarella to avoid sogginess. For extra crispy bottoms, bake on a preheated baking sheet. These can be assembled up to a day in advance and refrigerated.
