Easy Pizza Bites Recipe

by

In our family, Italian food is always a hit. Whether I’m cooking pots of pasta for a huge family get-together  or just whipping up a little something for dinner, I know that Italian food is always a safe bet.  

Everyone loves the taste of al dente pasta or a rich sauce, but for most people here, pizza is king. There are so many different ways to create pizza – with different crusts, a variety of toppings and lots of flavorful sauces. 

I’ve tried dozens of different combinations in the past, and my husband and I have several different favorites. The kids all love it the same way – crispy crust, tomato pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. 

So they’re always thrilled when I make these Easy Pizza Bites!

We love to make these mini-pizzas for the kids’ birthday parties.

I’ll line up a whole selection of toppings and different sauces so each child can create their own custom pizza. It’s been a huge hit with the kids and their parents – easy, fun and delicious!

  27. These pizza bites are a good idea. We make a version of them for supper that we call Pizza Burgers. We put 1/2 a hamburger bun, tomato or pizza sauce, hamburger, and shredded cheese. Sometimes we use pepperoni instead. But these cook quickly in a 375 degree oven for only 8 minutes.
