Pizza night just got a fun twist with these stuffed pizza bites. So simple to make but beware, they don’t last long! Everyone can make their own and they are ready in less than 30 minutes. Serve the pizza bites warm and enjoy them in a marinara dipping sauce for a real pizza taste. These are perfect for snacking after school, serving for dinner with a side salad or just enjoying during game night as an appetizer. Just know they don’t last long!

I am so glad I found this recipe! My boys had so much fun making these with me. We all got to stuff our own little dough with our favorite toppings. The picky one only stuffed his with a block of cheese. But even the cheese ones were good! I loved how this switched up our normal pizza night. We all devoured these because they tasted so good. This is a recipe everyone should have!
