I love how this Pizza Pot Pie combines everything I crave about pizza into a warm, comforting dish. I get gooey cheese, rich sauce, and savory pepperoni all baked together under soft, golden biscuit pieces. It feels cozy, filling, and perfect for nights when I want something easy but satisfying.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like this recipe because it uses simple ingredients and comes together quickly. I don’t have to make dough from scratch, yet I still enjoy classic pizza flavors. I also appreciate how flexible it is, since I can adjust the fillings to match my mood. Every time I make it, it comes out bubbly, cheesy, and comforting.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
16.3 ounces Pillsbury Grands Original Southern Style Biscuits (8-count package)
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
½ teaspoon garlic salt
⅓ cup pizza sauce
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup mini pepperoni rounds
Directions
I begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing four oven-safe ramekins or bowls. I cut each biscuit into four pieces and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, I combine the biscuit pieces with the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt, tossing until everything is evenly coated. I add the pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and mini pepperoni, then gently mix until all the ingredients are well distributed.
I divide the mixture evenly among the prepared dishes, lightly pressing it down. I place the dishes on a baking sheet and bake until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling. I let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Servings And Timing
I usually get 4 servings from this recipe.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 25 to 30 minutes
Total time: 35 to 40 minutes
Variations
I often change the flavors by adding cooked Italian sausage or using different cheeses like provolone or a mozzarella blend. When I want a meat-free option, I replace the pepperoni with vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives. I sometimes add a pinch of red pepper flakes when I want a little heat.
Storage/Reheating
When I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I prefer using the oven at 350°F until warmed through, since it keeps the biscuit texture better. I can also reheat in the microwave if I need something quick.
FAQs
Can I make Pizza Pot Pie ahead of time?
I can prepare the mixture a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator, then bake it just before serving.
What type of baking dish works best?
I like using individual ramekins, but I can also use a small casserole dish and scoop out portions after baking.
Can I use a different type of biscuit?
I can use any refrigerated biscuit dough, as long as I cut it into small, even pieces.
How do I know when it is fully baked?
I look for a golden top and bubbling cheese around the edges to know it’s done.
Can I double this recipe?
I can easily double the ingredients and bake everything in a larger casserole dish, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
Conclusion
I keep this Pizza Pot Pie recipe on repeat because it’s easy, comforting, and full of familiar flavors I love. It works perfectly for casual dinners, gatherings, or anytime I want pizza in a cozy, baked form. Every time I serve it, it disappears fast.
