Introduction:
When you need a quick snack that tastes like pizza with zero dough-making, Pepperoni Pizza Crackers are
the answer. They’re crunchy, cheesy, saucy little bites that hit all the classic pizza flavors—pepperoni, mozzarella,
Italian seasoning, and warm marinara—stacked on top of a crispy cracker base. You can make them for game day,
after-school snacking, party platters, or those moments when “I want pizza” suddenly becomes very urgent.
This recipe is fast, flexible, and kid-friendly. You can bake them all at once on a sheet pan, air fry a small batch,
or even make a microwave version in a pinch (though the oven gives the best melt and crisp). The best part is how easy
it is to customize: different cheeses, different toppings, spicy options, or a simple “pizza sauce dip” on the side.
If you love snackable recipes that feel fun but take almost no effort, you’re going to make these on repeat.
Ingredients:
For the crackers:
- 40–50 sturdy crackers (Ritz, Club, wheat crackers, or your favorite)
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara (thick sauce works best)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella (or Italian blend)
- 20–30 pepperoni slices (mini pepperoni works great)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional, extra flavor)
Seasoning + finishing touches:
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)
Optional dip:
- Warm marinara sauce for dipping
- Ranch dressing or garlic butter dip
Instructions:
- Preheat oven.
Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Arrange crackers.
Place crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. - Add sauce.
Spoon a small dab of pizza sauce on each cracker (about 1/2 tsp). Don’t overload, or they can get soggy. - Add cheese and pepperoni.
