We have eaten Chicago-style deep dish pizza when we lived in Illinois; New York City’s thin crust pizza when we took the 45-minute train ride to Manhattan from where we lived in New Jersey; una pizza autentica when we traveled to Italy; cheap cardboard-tasting pizzas during college; delivery pizza for game day gatherings; frozen pizza for lazy meals; and semi-homemade pizza for creative cooking. Pizza is just a popular dish any way it is prepared! No wonder there are several related food holidays just for pizza (see Notes below). We celebrate National Pizza Month with a cute version of our comfort food: mini pepperoni pizzas.
Recipe
Ingredients
1 can refrigerated pizza crust dough(we used Pillsbury brand thin crust)
1 small jar pizza sauce (we used Ragu brand)
1 bag shredded pizza cheese
1 package of mini pepperoni slices (we used Hormel brand)
Directions
Remove the pizza crust dough from the tube package. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the dough. Cut circles with the rim of a glass or three-inch round cookie cutter. Bake the mini crusts in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F for 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven. Spread pizza sauce over the mini crusts.
