Lisa Carter
Very easy to make and delicious. Kids and I had fun making it together. I didn’t reduce the dough but will keep it in mind for next time. It’s very adaptable for other toppings too! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Sharon Miller
These are good. Definitely reduce the amount of dough or the taste of the toppings is lost. I used two coin sized pepperoni in each but would use a few more toppings next time. I didn’t have any store bought biscuits so I made a batch of of home made buttermilk biscuits and they were great. Half of them got baked as regular honey butter topped buttermilk biscuits and the rest for this recipe so it was perfect!
Andrew Hill
First time so I didn’t do anything differently
Steven Rice
I didn’t change anything, but I added shredded parm and a teaspoon of garlic paste! The smell is heavenly!
David Schultz
My children love these. We make them a lot. We also brown hamburger and mix in bbq sauce and put that in the biscuit. Then we top with cheese, it makes a great bbq cheeseburger.
William Hill
The recipe was so simple and easy to double! They were really tasty too, so this recipe is definitely one of the best ones out there!
Christopher Sanders
According to every child in my house, these are delicious! I’ve made them several times using different pizza toppings. I’ve made them using Pillsbury regular biscuits and also with Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Butter Tastin’ biscuits. The Grands win hands down. If you use the Grands, I recommend splitting them in half because they’re so large – plus you get more of them. 🙂 These are easy to tailor for a household full of different preferences – some just cheese, some pepperoni and some meat lovers. The kids can easily help. What parent doesn’t love an easy dinner? It’s a go to for sure. Thank you for sharing!

To much bread . Will try it again but I would thin them out before cooking them or roll out the biscuits and make little pizza’s
Justin Thompson
The pizza was easy and delicious. It works with lots of cheeses. Liked how it was soft and puffy like a pillow. You should try this easy recipe.
Dr. Tracy Acosta
This recipe was easy, healthy, inexpensive, anyone can make it, and its a good way to let your kids help with dinner or a snack. You can add whatever toppings or even use pizza dough, its all up to you and what you want to add.
Dylan Henderson
This was simple and very enjoyable. It tasted like biscuits as it should have and the frozen mini pizzas that you would always get for lunch. All in all, it was very tasty and easy to make.
Benjamin Underwood
My family loved them!! My husband has bad reflux so I made his different. I use Alfredo sauce & bacon bits instead.
James Whitehead
They were good but were not cooked all the way. They looked cooked on the outside but doughy inside. Would make again but would cook for longer.
Jon Miller
We give this five stars because it was really enjoyable, especially with the pepperoni. I just think if we cooked it longer it would be better.
Cynthia Wilson
Great, easy pizza snack! A great mix-up to English Muffin Pizzas.
Denise King
These turned out great. I recommend that if using “Grand” size biscuits, you should use a large muffin pan. Otherwise regular biscuits are better. Less beady. Wonderful idea & easy to make vegetarian.
Angel Paul
i added a top. and i will make it again.
Patrick Terry
These were great and easy. I used frozen biscuits and partially cooked them and then added all the stuffing and finished baking. My kids loved them!
Linda Reed
These were Delicious little bites! I split the biscuits into 3 so I got 24 little pizzas. Not too bready. My grand daughter and I made these for “movie night”. We put 1 slice of pepperoni on hers, and 1 slice of mushroom and 1 slice of pepperoni on ours. The mushroom and pepperoni were the best! I made Chef John’s homemade pizza sauce from this site. The only problem was that I had a terrible time getting these out of the muffin pans. I sprayed liberally with Pam olive oil. Any suggestions? I ate way too many of these, so yummy!
Joanna Williams
It is very tasty. I married it
Keith Barrett
Very quick and easy! Also fun to switch up with different toppings. It’s having a small buffet of muffin sized pizzas.
