FAQs

Can I use homemade pizza dough instead of biscuit dough? Yes, you can definitely swap out the refrigerated biscuits for homemade pizza dough. Simply roll it out to the thickness you prefer and cut it to the perfect size using a round cutter or a glass.

Can I make these pizza biscuits in an air fryer? Absolutely! To make air fryer biscuit pizzas or air fryer pizza, place your pizza biscuits in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching, and cook at 375°F for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

What if I don’t like pepperoni? No problem! You can easily swap pepperoni with other toppings like ground beef, Italian sausage, or keep it a meat-free snack with just cheese and veggies.

Tips and Tricks

To prevent the biscuit mixture from sticking, lightly grease your muffin tin or cookie sheet with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.

Use a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit dough and then press it into the muffin tin. This creates a mini pizza crust that can hold the sauce, cheese, and toppings.

For a crispy crust, bake the biscuit layer first for a few minutes until it is just set before adding the bit of sauce and toppings.

Variations

These individual pizzas or personal pizzas allow everyone to customize with their favorite pizza toppings. Feel free to add green peppers, black olives, red pepper flakes, or even a little bit of ranch dressing for a fun spin on the traditional pizza flavor.

Try the biscuit pizza bake or pizza casserole version, also known as bubble-up casserole. Simply cut the biscuits into quarters, toss with pizza sauce, your choice of toppings, and cheese. Bake in a casserole dish until bubbly and browned.

Where to Serve

These pizza biscuits are perfect for a quick weeknight meal, school snack, or even as an appetizer for a party. They’re a great option for when you want to shake things up on pizza night.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed the next day. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3-4 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, just reheat in a preheated oven or toaster oven.

Topping Options

After the pizza biscuits are cooked, consider sprinkling them with a little parmesan cheese or a teaspoon of Italian seasoning for extra flavor. Or serve with extra pizza sauce or even ranch dressing for dipping.
