Pizza Pops aka Pizza Bites

Pizza Pops aka Pizza Bites

Friday night is usually homemade pizza night at our house, but, this week, we decided to give it a twist. We made Pizza Bites from Annie's Eats. It was a simple recipe to do and we loved the results! We ended up calling them pizza pops at our house since you can just pop one in your mouth. They would make great appetizers.


We bought the Pillsbury pizza dough from the dairy section...for this instance, we went with the thin crust variety. Then we rolled out the dough and cut it into squares using a pizza cutter (a knife would have worked just as well.)


Next we took a mozzarella cheese cube and couple of pepperoni slices, wrapped it in a dough square, and placed it seam side down on the cookie sheet. We continued this until we had used up all of the dough.

Once you have your pops/bites made, brush the tops with olive oil (or use the spray olive oil) and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.


One can of the pizza dough makes about 24 pizza bites.


Bake them at 350˚ for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with marinara sauce, if desired.


Here's a handy ingredient list - 
1 can Pillsbury pizza dough, 
1 bag Mozzarella cheese cubes,
