These crowd-pleasing pizza cupcakes are fun, kid-friendly, and absolutely irresistible.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray (1 pinch)
  • cherry tomatoes (8 )
  • refrigerated pizza crust (1 (11 ounce) can)
  • shredded mozzarella cheese (8 teaspoons)
  • pizza sauce (8 tablespoons)
  • finely chopped red onion (8 teaspoons)
  • slices of pepperoni (8 slices)
  • Italian seasoning (0.25 teaspoon)
  • red pepper flakes (0.25 teaspoon)
  • garlic salt (0.25 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 8 cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Finely chop cherry tomatoes and drain any liquid; set aside.
  3. Unroll pizza crust on a floured work surface and roll out thinly into a large rectangle. Using a 4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out 8 circles in dough.
  4. Place dough circles in the prepared muffin cups, pressing dough into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
  5. Drop 1 teaspoon mozzarella into each cup. Top with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, then add tomatoes and red onions.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon mozzarella to each cup and top with pepperoni. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling and melted, 14 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tins, about 5 minutes.
  8. Remove pizzas from the tin and serve hot.
