A quick and easy homemade pizza snack perfect for kids’ lunches, featuring mini crusts or crackers topped with tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and pepperoni. This recipe is customizable, healthy, and nostalgic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Mini pizza crusts or crackers (mini pita rounds, flatbreads, or sturdy crackers; Stacy’s Pita Chips recommended)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) tomato sauce (smooth marinara or pizza sauce, store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 to 1½ cups (100–150 g) shredded mozzarella cheese (fresh shredded recommended)
  • Approximately 20 small pepperoni slices (turkey pepperoni for lighter option)
  • Mini bell pepper rings or olives (optional)
  • Pinch or two of dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • Olive oil (optional, for brushing crusts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Arrange your mini crusts or crackers on a baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  3. Lightly brush the crusts with olive oil (optional).
  4. Spread about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of tomato sauce on each crust evenly.
  5. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 g) of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  6. Top with pepperoni slices and optional veggies like bell peppers or olives.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese bubbles and crust edges turn golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overload sauce to avoid soggy crusts. Use fresh shredded cheese for best melt. Adjust oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) if your oven runs hot. Toaster oven works well for small batches. Let snacks cool slightly before packing for lunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy crusts.
