Time Needed

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

2 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 (15 oz) jar pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni (or pizza toppings of your choice)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat & Prepare Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cut the Biscuits Open both cans of biscuits and cut each into quarters (bite-sized pieces work best). This helps the dough cook evenly.
Layer the Dough Spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the baking dish. If needed, overlap a few pieces around the edges where the heat is stronger.
Add Sauce & Cheese Spoon the pizza sauce over the biscuit pieces and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella generously on top.
Add Toppings Top with pepperoni or any other toppings your family loves—olives, mushrooms, bell peppers, sausage, onions, or a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Bake & Serve Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until the biscuits are fully cooked and the cheese is golden and bubbly. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Variations to Try

Half & Half: Do half the pan with classic cheese and the other half loaded with toppings for a crowd-pleasing combo.
Veggie Delight: Add mushrooms, onions, olives, and bell peppers for a meatless version.
Extra Cheesy: Mix mozzarella with cheddar or parmesan for a deeper flavor.
Spicy Kick: Toss in some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for heat-lovers.

Tips from Chef Emma

Cut the biscuit dough into small pieces to ensure even baking, especially in the center.
Check the center for doneness before removing from the oven—it takes the longest to bake.
Use a metal pan for faster, more even cooking.
Leftovers reheat beautifully in an air fryer or oven for a quick next-day lunch.
