How to Make Pizza Stuffed Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuits and gently flatten each one into a small round.
- Place 3 slices of beef pepperoni and one piece of mozzarella in the center of each biscuit.
- Carefully pull the biscuit dough around the filling. Pinch the edges firmly to seal the cheese and beef pepperoni inside.
- Arrange the stuffed biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
- Let them cool for about 3–5 minutes, then serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Best Tips for Cheesy Pizza Biscuits
Seal the dough well: Make sure the biscuit dough completely surrounds the mozzarella. This helps prevent the cheese from leaking during baking.
Don’t overfill: Keeping the filling portions small makes the biscuits easier to close and helps them maintain their shape.
Serve with dipping sauce: Warm marinara, pizza sauce, or garlic-herb tomato sauce makes these stuffed biscuits even more flavorful.
Make them ahead: Assemble the biscuits several hours before serving, cover, and refrigerate. Bake them shortly before your guests arrive.
Try different cheeses: Mozzarella is classic, but you can experiment with provolone, Monterey Jack, or a mozzarella-cheddar blend.
Add pizza flavor: A small pinch of Italian seasoning or garlic powder can add extra flavor without significantly increasing the ingredient list.
Easy Variations
For a different version of these easy pizza stuffed biscuits, try adding a small amount of:
- Cooked ground beef
- Cooked chicken
- Diced bell peppers
- Sliced mushrooms
- Black olives
- Italian seasoning
- Parmesan cheese
Keep additional fillings small so the biscuit dough can still close securely.
What to Serve With Pizza Stuffed Biscuits
These cheesy biscuit bites are delicious with warm marinara or pizza sauce. For a complete game-day spread, serve them alongside fresh vegetables, a simple green salad, potato wedges, chicken wings, or other easy finger foods.
