Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make these irresistible mini bites:

🛒 For the Dough:

1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade dough) 🍞
1 tablespoon olive oil

🍅 For the Toppings:

1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices 🍕
1/4 cup diced red bell peppers 🌶️
1/4 cup diced green bell peppers 🫑
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
Optional: dried oregano or Italian seasoning 🌿

How to Make Christmas Pizza Bites

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or baking tray.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into small circles (about 2 inches wide) using a cookie cutter or small cup.

Press each dough circle into the mini muffin cups or arrange on a baking sheet.

Step 3: Add the Sauce and Toppings

Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce into each dough cup. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and add mini pepperoni, red, and green bell peppers for that festive Christmas color.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with Parmesan and a pinch of oregano for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your merry little bites!

Tips for Perfect Pizza Bites

Use festive colors! The red and green peppers give these bites a true Christmas look.
Add variety: Try topping some with olives, mushrooms, or sausage for a mix of flavors.
Keep them warm: If serving at a party, place them on a warming tray or serve right from the oven.
Make ahead: Assemble the bites, refrigerate, and bake just before serving!

Serving Ideas

These mini pizzas are perfect for:

Christmas Eve appetizers 🎁

Storing and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or air fry for 2–3 minutes to keep them crisp.
Avoid microwaving — it can make the dough soggy.
