Quick and easy Pizza Toast is one of our favorite recipes to make for a busy weeknight dinner or a satisfying after-school snack. Everyone loves them!
Faster than Delivery!
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I make Pizza Toast several times a week. We all love pizza, but sometimes I just don’t have the time to make and bake a pizza dough or order and wait on pizza delivery. This pizza toast can be made in 20 minutes and we all love it!

What to Serve with Pizza Toast?
For lunch, I usually put out veggies and hummus to go with it. And for an after-school snack, I cut each toast into fourths and serve it with fruit. They’re easy to make, easy to eat and easy to clean up after. For dinner, I’ll serve it alongside a big salad. Like this one!
Chopped Caesar Salad
Crisp romaine, salty parmesan and a flavorful dressing tossed with crunchy homemade croutons. This Chopped Caesar Salad is an easy, straight-forward recipe that is sure to become your go-to salad.
Fun and Flexible
I try to always have sandwich bread, pizza sauce (or marinara sauce), mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni on hand so I can make these anytime we want them. I love that I can make just one or a dozen of them depending on how many I want to serve. And you can adjust the toppings however you’d like.
We usually keep it pretty simple with cheese and pepperoni, but I can see how some peppers, fresh basil, mushrooms, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and even pineapple (did I just start a fight 😜) could dress these up quite nicely.
Just grab your favorite pizza toppings and go for it! You can even make these on sourdough, if you have it on hand. It’s a fun and flexible recipe you’re sure to make over and over again!
This is great recipe to make with your kids or better yet, let your kids make themselves. So so yummy!

The pizza bread came out burned a little, maybe next time I will try 375 deg instead of 400
Hi, Jen! What rack did you bake it on? That might have something to do with it, too! I’ve found it helpful to test my oven with an oven thermometer from time to time to gauge whether it’s heating evenly and accurately. Might be worth a try!
Soft flour tortillas also work
Yes! I actually have the soft flour tortilla version in my Spectacular Spreads cookbook as well as on my Valentine’s Day Dinner Board! Enjoy!
Look amazing. I will try to do for my kid. super easy to follow!
What a simple and nice recipe! Tasty and crunchy, appeal to both children and adults.
I have been searching for some recipes for my family. Finally found this one and made it yesterday for my family. They liked it! Thanks for your sharing.
I looked at it and my mouth watered cant wait to get home at make it!
My dad and I are both on disability. A lot of times it can be difficult to get up and cook dinner. This would be a great thing to make ahead of time and freeze. What instructions can you give me to cook them straight out of the freezer? Temperature, cook time, etc.
Hi Renee! That’s such a great idea to bake and freeze them for easy reheating. I would recommend baking them and then letting them cool before placing in individual freezer-safe baggies to store in the freezer for up to 1 month. When you’re ready to enjoy, place the frozen pizza toast on a baking sheet in the oven and then set the oven to 350 degrees so the pizza toast starts to defrost as the oven heats. Once the oven is heated, check the pizza toast every few minutes as they usually take about 3-5 minutes to reheat. You could also reheat them in a toast oven or in the microwave, but they wouldn’t be as crispy in the microwave. I hope this helps and that you and your dad enjoy!
So tasty, and truly the perfect bite for both kids and adults! 🙂
What a great family dinner option for pizza night! It’d be fun to do a topping bar and have everyone create their own.
This looks so delicious! Your photos are just gorgeous too Alida! (as usual!) I love that the kids love doing the videos with you. So fun!
