    😊Why you will love this recipe

    • It comes together in only minutes.
    • The biscuit crust is quick and easy to make.
    • You and the kids will love the taste.
    • Add the toppings you want with your choice of cheese and sauce.❓
    • Pizza night will become a family event.

    👨‍🍳How to make this recipe

    • Prepare the homemade biscuit crust.
    • Spread the crust in a 9-inch round baking pan going slightly up the sides of the pan. Brush with melted butter.
    • Spread ¼ cup of pizza sauce over the dough, add toppings of your choice, and top with cheese.
    • Bake in a 400° convection or 425° conventional oven until golden brown—18-20 minutes.

    🥣Ingredients

    Biscuit Dough

    This recipe uses homemade biscuit dough. Making your own is easier than getting refrigerated biscuits to come together nicely.

    Ingredients are just some all-purpose flour, salt, milk, baking powder, and usually butter or oil. You can cut in cold butter for more flakiness or use melted butter or olive oil for a firmer crust.

    Pizza Sauce

    This pizza takes very little sauce, about ¼ cup. So, I generally will use a jar of my favorite pizza sauce. A jar of marinara sauce will also be acceptable.

    You can make homemade sauce, which will be much better but takes time and will make much more than you need for this recipe. See my favorite pizza sauce recipe in the FAQ section below.

    Favorite Pizza Toppings

    • Italian sausage—browned and drained
    • Ground beef—browned and drained
    • pepperoni
    • onion
    • mushrooms
    • green pepper
    • banana peppers
    • sliced pickled jalapeno peppers
    • bacon
    • black olives
    • spinach
    • ham
    • pineapple (not my choice.)

    Cheese

    Generally shredded mozzarella, but you can add grated parmesan cheese, also. Do it Chicago style with the cheese on the bottom. Load it with veggies, chicken, or anything you want. As always, do NOT use raw meat.

    ❓FAQs

    How can I make a larger biscuit pizza?

    This recipe is for a nine-inch round or a 6X9 baking dish. You can adjust it to a 12-inch round or 9X13 rectangular pan by increasing the recipe by 50%. That is easily done by adjusting the number of servings in the recipe card below.

    You could increase to a 15-inch round pan by doubling the recipe, but you will have a thinner crust.

    How to make the best homemade pizza sauce?

    Homemade pizza sauce is a lot better than a commercial jar sauce. But this biscuit pizza only needs 2 ounces of pizza sauce, but it will freeze well for 3-4 months.

    My homemade sauce (makes 12 ozs): One 6 oz can of tomato paste and 6 oz water. 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, 1 clove crushed garlic or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, about half a small chopped onion, and 1 teaspoon oregano. A pinch (¼ teaspoon) crushed red pepper (optional.)

    The tomato paste gives a touch of sweetness and a deeper tomato taste than sauce.

    What is the best way to reheat leftover pizza?

    Any leftover pizza is best reheated in an oven on a pizza stone. Heat the oven and stone to 350°. Lightly sprinkle some water on the crusty edge, then place on the hot stone for 5-10 minutes.

    If you don't have a pizza stone, preheating a baking sheet will work almost as well.

    How to store leftover biscuit pizza?

    The crust will absorb moisture from the sauce and toppings, so I prefer no longer than two days in the refrigerator.

    Recipe Notes

    Pro Tips

    1. The crust is firmer due to melting the butter before adding. If you want a fluffier crust that then cut in cold butter instead. The firmer crust will hold up better.
    2. I make this more as a thick crust pan pizza but make it the way you want. Spread the same amount of crust on a larger pan for a thinner crust.
    3. I have set this recipe size to a 9-inch round or a 6X9 baking dish.
    4. You can adjust it up to a 12-inch round or 9X13 rectangular pan by increasing the recipe by 50%. That is easily done by adjusting the number of servings above.
    5. You could increase to a 15-inch round pan by doubling the recipe but you will have a thinner crust.
    6. This uses very little sauce, so I generally use jarred sauce.
    7. You can use my homemade sauce: One 6 oz
    8. can of tomato paste and 6 oz water. 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, 1 clove garlic or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, about half a small chopped onion, and 1 teaspoon oregano. A pinch (¼ teaspoon) crushed red pepper (optional.) This will make 12 oz., and you only need 2 oz. But it does freeze well.
    9. Toppings are up to you.
    10. Nutrition includes cheese and sauce but no other toppings.
    11. Good refrigerated for 2-3 days or frozen for 2-3 months.

    To adjust the recipe size:

    You may adjust the number of servings in this recipe card under servings. This does the math for the ingredients for you. BUT it does NOT adjust the text of the instructions. So you need to do that yourself.

      Its good and a accurate to a biscuit type dough. The crust will be very thick. I would say a little more butter in the recipe would even make it better. I would suggest going chicago style with a cup or more sauce on top and just load the thing with toppings. 1st cheese, then toppings and the sauce on top. It was good

      Baked it in a 10" cast iron skillet. Would halve the recipe next time. I think one recipe makes the crust too thick, even pushing it up the sides of the pan. Good recipe. Would go great as a breakfast pizza crust.

      This is such an odd concept to me (biscuit dough for pizza) but this is the second post I've seen in two days. Is this a new trend that is going on or just two people had the same great odd idea at the same time? Either way the pizza looks great, thick and bubbly.
