Stuffed Pizza Bites

Pizza night just got a fun twist with these stuffed pizza bites. So simple to make but beware, they don’t last long! Everyone can make their own and they are ready in less than 30 minutes. Serve the pizza bites warm and enjoy them in a marinara dipping sauce for a real pizza taste. These are perfect for snacking after school, serving for dinner with a side salad or just enjoying during game night as an appetizer. Just know they don’t last long!

I am so glad I found this recipe! My boys had so much fun making these with me. We all got to stuff our own little dough with our favorite toppings. The picky one only stuffed his with a block of cheese. But even the cheese ones were good! I loved how this switched up our normal pizza night. We all devoured these because they tasted so good. This is a recipe everyone should have!

  1. I used breadstick dough instead of biscuit dough and it seems to be more like pizza dough. It was delicious! I also made a batch using biscuit dough (since I only had one roll of each kind of dough) and I haven’t tried it yet but they look delicious too!

  2. I cooked mine for 20 minutes and the dough was far from done. I had to put them back in the oven for another 20 minutes. Not sure what happened???

    1. That is so strange! Make sure that the oven was set to the right temp at 425. Also try using a thermometer in your oven to make sure that it is reaching the right temp. Mine only take 15 minutes and the tops are pretty brown and perfectly cooked! Good luck and let me know if they turn out next time! 🙂
