How to Make Pizza Cracker Bites
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the crackers on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the top of each cracker.
- Top with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and 3-4 mini pepperoni.
- Bake the pizza crackers for about 5 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt and bubble.
How to Store and Reheat Pizza Cracker Bites
To store leftover pepperoni pizza crackers, place them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to five days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until crisp and melty again. You can also reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until melty, but they won’t be crispy anymore.

We tried these tonight, Maegan and they were good. We also tried your pizza toast the other night. Both are good, especially when you’ve got little time.
Thanks for these. I like that you test recipes before posting and make comments along the way. Your information is very useful. Next I’m trying the lemon cookie recipe you posted today. It has lots of lemon zest and I think it will be very lemony, like you said. Thank you for all your hard work and your recipes. It is not lost on me.
Hi, Dezi! That is so kind of you to take the time to say that. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. And I’m so happy that these recipes are easy and fun and that y’all enjoy them so much! Can’t wait to hear what you think about the cookies!
