These quick copycat Lunchable pepperoni pizza bites for kids are mini pizzas made with simple ingredients that come together in about 15 minutes. No fancy equipment, no weird preservatives, no fighting over who gets the last one.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cooked crumbled sausage (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pop open the biscuit dough. Separate the 8 biscuits onto a clean work surface. Gently flatten each into a disc about 3 inches across.
  3. Cut each biscuit in half using a pizza cutter or sharp knife to get 16 pieces.
  4. Roll out each piece into a 2-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Poke each round several times with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
  6. In a small bowl, mix olive oil with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush a thin layer onto each dough round.
  7. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of pizza sauce onto each round, leaving a small border.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of mozzarella and a tiny pinch of Parmesan onto each pizza bite.
  9. Place 2-3 mini pepperonis on each pizza bite, pressing gently into the cheese.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Rotate pan halfway through.
  11. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Don’t overfill the pizza bites. Use room temperature dough for easier rolling. Leave a 1/4 inch border around the sauce to prevent burning. Double the batch if making for more than two kids. These can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. They freeze well for up to 3 months.
