⭐ How to Make Biscuit Recipe Pizza (Step-by-Step, No Stress, All Flavor)
This is where the magic happens.
Follow these steps and you’ll create something so good, you’ll wonder why everyone isn’t talking about biscuit pizza all the time.
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Biscuit dough loves high heat.
It gets flaky, crispy, and golden when cooked fast.
Step 2: Prep the Biscuit Dough Base
Open the can — if you jump from the “pop” sound, don’t worry, we all do.
Separate the biscuits.
Now here’s the trick that gives you that real pizza vibe:
Flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Make them roughly 5–6 inches wide.
You can keep them round or stretch them slightly for a rustic shape.
Place these circles on a greased baking tray or parchment paper.
Step 3: Season the Base
Brush each flattened biscuit with a thin layer of olive oil.
Sprinkle a pinch of:
- garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
- salt
This simple trick takes the biscuit dough from “breakfast” to “pizza legend.”
Step 4: Add the Pizza Sauce
Add 1–2 spoonfuls of pizza sauce onto each base.
Spread in gentle circles.
Try to leave a tiny border — this border will puff beautifully and give you a lovely biscuit crust edge.
Step 5: Cheese… Be Generous
Add a mountain of mozzarella cheese.
If you think you’ve added enough cheese, add a little more — because biscuit pizza loves cheese.
You can mix mozzarella with provolone or cheddar for extra flavor.
Step 6: Add Your Toppings
Anything works here:
- pepperoni
- sliced jalapeños
- mushrooms
- olives
- sweet corn
- bell peppers
- onions
- cooked chicken
- sausage crumbles
This recipe is the king of flexibility.
Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake in the oven for 12–15 minutes.
Watch the transformation—
the edges turn golden, the cheese melts and bubbles beautifully, and the bottom gets slightly crisp without drying out.
When the whole kitchen smells like heaven… it’s ready.
Step 8: Serve Hot and Enjoy the Happiness
Let them cool for 2 minutes, then serve warm.
You’ll bite into something:
- buttery
- flaky
- crispy at the bottom
- cheesy
- saucy
- soul-satisfying
This biscuit pizza hits all the cravings.
⭐ Tips & Tricks for the Best Biscuit Pizza (Perfect Every Time)
I’ve made this recipe a lot.
Here are the little things that make it go from good → unforgettable:
🔥 1. Flatten the biscuits evenly
Uneven dough = uneven cooking.
Keep them around the same thickness for a uniform bake.
🔥 2. Don’t over-sauce
Biscuit dough absorbs moisture differently than pizza dough.
Too much sauce can make it soggy.
1–2 tablespoons is perfect.
🔥 3. Add cheese near the edges
Cheese melting over the edge creates that crispy, caramelized cheese lace that everyone loves.
🔥 4. Prebake for 3 minutes if adding heavy toppings
If you’re loading it with veggies or meats:
Prebake the biscuit bases for 3 minutes,
then add your toppings and continue baking.
🔥 5. Brush edges with buttery garlic oil after baking
A mix of:
- melted butter
- garlic powder
- parsley
Brush this on the hot edges right after baking.
It makes the crust unbelievably good.
🔥 6. Want a more “Italian” flavor? Add a dusting of parmesan.
Parmesan brings sharpness and a savory kick that balances the softness of the biscuit base.
⭐ Frequently Asked Questions (People Always Ask These)
Q1: Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned?
