Now my recipe is a very simple, fun version of the viral Little Caesar’s crazy pizza puffs. For this recipe: I decided to use the Pillsbury pizza dough, but if you want to make homemade pizza dough you can. This is just a simpler alternative. It’s meant to be a fun, easy and quick recipe. For the toppings I absolutely love pepperoni. But if you need an alternative to pepperoni, just use turkey pepperoni or you can just make cheese crazy puffs. Just omit the pepperoni, or you can use other toppings like Italian sausage, ham, or even veggies. (Just dice the veggies into small pieces if you want to make a veggie pizza puff. Mozzarella cheese is a great option to top the pizza puffs off, but don’t hesitate to experiment.

It takes the pepperoni pizza puffs up a notch and it’s so full of flavor. I promise this recipe is so good and flavorful. You will absolutely love these mini pizza puffs just as much as I do.
