Pepperoni pizza flats are like pizza’s rebellious brother.

These mini pizzas are the perfect choice for a speedy dinner. And let’s not forget, pizza has a magical power over kids so it’s a guaranteed win!

These can also be really delicious for adults, too. Instead of pepperoni try thin tomato slices and basil or slices of chicken with bbq sauce. My favorite is buffalo sauce, thin slices of chicken, and a ranch drizzle after cooking.

If you’re not in a hurry, use your favorite homemade pizza dough. I used my deep-dish pizza dough recipe. Refrigerated store-bought pizza dough will work just as great.

First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, brush each spot where you’ll be making a pizza flat with butter or olive oil. This ensures that the cheese doesn’t stick at all. You’ll need 8 spots. I used fresh mozzarella but shredded works just as great. I tried some with slices of cheese and also cut up. Both turned out the same so any way you “cut the cheese” lol will work.

Next, add your toppings. I used pepperoni slices. You could also add sausage, chicken, basil, pesto, olives, peppers, etc.

This is not an ad but have you tried the Rao products? They are definitely more expensive but the taste is so much better than other jarred sauces. If I don’t have time for homemade sauce, Rao’s is my next choice. Whatever sauce you choose, spread a little on top of your toppings.

Take 1/8th of the pizza dough and stretch it out over the toppings. Do this for each of the pizza flats. Brush each dough piece with melted butter and then sprinkle some Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or other favorite pizza flavoring on each.

Before baking, slice down the middle so they don’t puff up. The color should be a light golden brown when done.

Let cool for about 2 minutes before flipping over. Enjoy immediately.
