Puff Pastry Pizza

I’m a super busy mom to 3 little kids. I am always trying to make holidays more fun and unique and hit the jackpot with this very easy Puff Pastry Pizza.

It can be so hard to find holiday activities that don’t end up with a completely messy house from all the fun. Or a holiday themed food that doesn’t require random ingredients or kitchen tools that I need to buy. Or recipes that take so, so long to make. So this year I set out to make a fun, simple, and easy Valentine’s dinner or snack that you can make with your kids.

The result: Puff Pastry Pizza!

I love to get my kids involved in the kitchen. I basically live in my kitchen so anytime I invite them to help on a recipe they love it. Puff Pastry Pizza is a recipe that your kids of all ages can basically do all on their own aside from putting the tray in the oven and taking it out.

Puff Pastry Pizza is easily customizable with what toppings your kids like most, doesn’t dirty many dishes, can become a fun holiday tradition, and is inexpensive to make. All the wins in my book.

Because I created this recipe with my kids I thought it would be fun to get their little hands involed in the pictures too. I think I’ll look back on this post a decade from now and cry over how tiny their little hands are at 3, 6, and 8 years old.

If you make these with your kids please let me know how much fun you all had!!

A few years ago I made these cute thumb print heart cookies while are another easy and quick Valentine’s Day treat that’s super fun to make with your kids!

If you’re looking for a fancier dessert to make for all your loves try this decadent Mousse Brownie Cake.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Roll out the puff pastry so it’s flat. Use a 4-5-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut into as many pieces as you can and place on a baking sheet. 

Pierce each heart with a fork about 5-6 times a piece. Bake plain for 12 minutes and remove from oven.  

Spread about 1-2 teaspoons of pizza sauce on each heart followed by a tablespoon or so of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle a few mini pepperonis on top and return to oven for an additional 8-12 minutes until cheese is melty and pastry is cooked through. 

Remove from oven and serve hot.

Notes

Step-by-step pictures and Frequently Asked Questions below recipe card.

Freshly shred your own mozzarella cheese for best results. Pre-shredded doesn’t melt as nicely. 

Don’t over top your pizzas or you run the risk of the pizzas ending up soggy or toppings sliding off. 

Prick each pastry dough piece all the way through to the pan or it will get too poofy in the oven. 

If you use any pizza toppings high in moisture, blot them off with a paper towel before topping pizzas.
