One-Pan Pepperoni Pizza Bake is a fast, cheesy dinner for nights when you want pizza flavor without rolling dough. Biscuit pieces bake into a golden base with pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning.
It is family-friendly, easy to assemble, and simple to customize with extra vegetables or a different cheese blend.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 to 25 slices pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- Optional: olives, peppers, mushrooms, or red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Prep the Pan
Heat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
2. Cut the Dough
Cut biscuit dough into small pieces and spread them evenly in the pan.
3. Add Sauce and Toppings
Spoon pizza sauce over the dough, then add mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan.
4. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is bubbling.
Serving Tips
Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before scooping so the cheese settles. Serve with a green salad, roasted vegetables, or extra warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Recipe Checklist
- Cut biscuit dough into small pieces so it cooks evenly.

FAQ
Can I make pizza bake ahead?
It is best fresh, but leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer.
Can I use pizza dough instead of biscuits?
Yes, but the texture will be chewier and may need a slightly different bake time.
How do I know the dough is done?
The center should be puffed and no longer doughy. If needed, cover loosely and bake a few minutes longer.
Can I add vegetables?
Yes. Use small amounts of peppers, mushrooms, onions, or olives so the bake does not get watery.
