Easy Bubble Pizza

Best Bubble Pizza Recipe You’ll Ever Make

Cutting each biscuit into quarters creates smaller pieces that are easier to coat and distribute throughout the dish. Tossing them with sauce before baking spreads the pizza flavor throughout the casserole. Mini pepperoni mixes easily between the biscuit pieces, giving you pepperoni throughout each serving.

This version divides the mozzarella between the filling and topping, adding cheese throughout and a lightly browned finish. Parmesan adds savory flavor without needing another sauce or extra preparation. I recommend checking a center biscuit before serving, since melted cheese alone doesn’t confirm the dough is cooked.

If you enjoy pizza shortcuts, try my pepperoni calzone with pizza sauce dip or pizza muffins. These homemade baked pizza rolls are another easy way to enjoy those familiar flavors.

Ingredients

See the recipe card below for the full ingredient list and exact measurements.

• Refrigerated biscuits: One 16.3-ounce can forms the soft, puffy base. Cut each biscuit into four pieces.
• Pizza sauce: One cup coats the biscuit pieces with tomato flavor. Choose a sauce you enjoy on regular pizza.
• Mozzarella cheese: Two cups provide melted cheese throughout the casserole and over the top. Divide it as directed.
• Mini pepperoni: One cup adds classic pepperoni flavor and mixes easily with the biscuit pieces.
• Italian seasoning: Half a teaspoon adds an herby finish to the topping.
• Parmesan cheese: One-quarter cup adds a salty, savory layer over the mozzarella.

Substitutions and Variations

• Regular pepperoni: Cut larger pepperoni slices into quarters before mixing them with the biscuits.
• Different cheese: Replace some mozzarella with provolone for a different flavor while keeping the total amount unchanged.
• Cooked sausage: Replace some pepperoni with cooked, well-drained crumbled sausage. Avoid adding raw sausage to the biscuit mixture.
• Vegetable additions: Add a small amount of sautéed mushrooms or peppers. Drain excess moisture before adding them.

How to Make Bubble Pizza

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

STEP 2: Cut each biscuit into four pieces. Place the pieces in a large bowl.

STEP 3: Add the pizza sauce and gently toss until the biscuit pieces are evenly coated.

STEP 4: Stir in 1½ cups of mozzarella cheese and the mini pepperoni.

STEP 5: Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.

STEP 6: Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the biscuits are cooked through and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Check a biscuit near the center, and continue baking if the dough is still wet or gummy.

STEP 7: Let the casserole stand for five minutes before serving.

Tips for Making Bubble Up Pizza Bake

• Keep pieces similar: Cut the biscuits into evenly sized quarters so they cook at a similar rate.
• Separate stuck pieces: Gently pull apart biscuit pieces that stick together while tossing them with the sauce.
• Spread evenly: Distribute the mixture across the dish instead of leaving a thick mound in the center.
• Protect the topping: Loosely cover with foil if the cheese browns before the center biscuits finish cooking.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Making Bubble Up Pizza Casserole

• Adding extra sauce: Too much sauce can leave the biscuit mixture overly wet and slow the center’s cooking.
• Using a smaller dish: Crowding the mixture into a deeper layer can require a longer baking time.
• Checking only the cheese: A browned topping can hide undercooked dough, so check the center before removing the casserole.
• Skipping the rest: Give the casserole five minutes to settle before scooping it onto plates.

How to Store

• Refrigerator: Keep refrigerated leftovers for three to four days.
• Freezing: Freeze cooled portions in freezer-safe containers for up to two months for best quality. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
• Reheating: Warm portions in a covered oven-safe dish at 350°F until heated through. Uncover near the end to help the topping firm up, and heat leftovers to 165°F.
