You are going to love this frugal recipe – Bubble Up Pizza! This quick and easy pizza recipe is so easy to make and the kids will have a BLAST helping you make it.
This Bubble Pizza Recipe is easy to make with a secret ingredient!
The secret ingredient for the crust is….canned refrigerated biscuits! You cut the canned biscuits and it actually “bubbles up” when it cooks. The biscuit dough is thick and reminds of a deep dish pizza crust in this bubble pizza.
This video shows you how easy this bubble up pizza is to make!
Ingredients for Bubble Up Pizza:
You only need a few ingredients to create this easy yet still tasty bubble up pizza.
- Canned Biscuits
- Pizza Sauce
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Pizza Toppings – whichever you choose!
That’s all that is needed to create this bubble up pizza bake. I usually stock up on these ingredients when they are on sale because I know that I can throw together this recipe in not time at all.
Ok, now that you are prepared with all the needed ingredients, let’s continue to learn how to make this pizza.
How to make bubble pizza:
First preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Then you cut each biscuit into quarters and place the biscuit pieces into a 9×13 baking dish that has been sprayed lightly with a non-stick cooking spray to make serving easy.
We highly recommend using a pizza cutter to cut your biscuits. It makes it faster and easy to cut! Get the kids involved – they love doing this!
Now it is time to add your sauce! Try making your own pizza sauce. It is easy to do and it will save you 50% or more! I promise it is easy to make, but you can definitely use whichever sauce you have on hand or your favorite type.
It isn’t even cooked yet and it already looks delicious!
For the next step, sprinkle with the cheeses over the top of the pizza sauce. I usually do the mozzarella cheeses on the bottome and sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the pizza toppings.
Now it’s time for the fun part. It’s time to add your favorite toppings!
In this picture we did a basic cheese and pepperoni pizza but we have made a supreme Bubble Up pizza too. YUM!
Also, you could do different toppings on each half of the pizza. I have put Italian sausage and green peppers (my favorite!) just on one side before because my kids don’t love those toppings and pepperonis on the other side.
This is a great time to make this pizza recipe work for your family!
Now all you have to do is bake uncovered for 25-35 minutes until the biscuits bubble up and the cheese is melted. Then you will have a delicious “homemade” pizza ready to enjoy!
The Kids just love this bubble up pizza recipe, but to be honest… the adults love it too! I’m thinking of doing a taco bubble up pizza next. Doesn’t that sound good!

Is this recipe frugal?
YES!! You know that I love good and frugal recipes.
I was able to purchase 2 cans of biscuits (the cheap plain kinds) for less than $1. Remember, you do not need a specific brand for this recipe, use the cheapest that you can find!
Also, I made pizza sauce for less than $1. Add cheese and pepperoni and your looking at a pizza for less then $4! This is my kind of meal and it’s definitely cheaper than order pizza from a restaurant.
Can you freeze this Bubble Up Pizza Recipe?
Yes, this Bubble up pizza is very freezer friendly.
Bake as the recipe outlines. Then allow the pizza to cool completely. I like to slice it up into the perfect lunch portions.
Then I freeze these portions in freezer safe bags. This way this pizza is ready to heat up in minutes for a quick and easy lunch. My kids love enjoying this bubble up pizza in their lunchboxes. 🙂

Kaleigh says
The dish appears done as it bubbled up and browned on the edges but the biscuits in the middle are still doughy. Is that normal?
Carrie says
Ours isn’t doughy in the middle. I would cook it longer next time.

Hello from Southeast Texas!
I seen you put sausage on the pizza in the video. I love sausage on pizza. So I wanted to know what kind of sausage you prefer. I love sweet Italian sausage that I cut out of the casing because it comes in links. Then I fry it down on low with some diced onions. What’s you thoughts on this type of sausage, and what do you use in this recipe?
Thank you
Carrie says
I usually use Italian ground sausage. I think that the kind that you referenced would taste great as well.
Dawn Richter says
I wonder if this would work with a ranch garlic sauce instead of tomato? I cant really tolerate tomato based products any more.
KAREN HANNEMAN says
I make a version of this but the biscuits go on top, bake till well browned and serve by tipping over on plate. We call it upside down pizza. I make several for the freezer in tinfoil pans. Don’t put biscuits on until ready to bake. (thaw completely before adding biscuits and baking). This is everyone’s favorite meal!!!
Cindy says
Why not whole biscuits?
Tommy says
I successfully made this! It looks awesome!
Carrie says
Yay!
Carrie says
It bubble ups more in the pan if you cut them into quarters but the whole biscuits would work for just a regular crust.
Carrie says
Yum! That sounds delicious!
Carrie says
Yes, I think anything that would be on a regular pizza would work great in this recipe. Thanks!
Luke says
I Sean this on Facebook the other day. Looks good so I’m making it today Thursday the 11th 2019
35 min later. Oh my god
I’m making this again…..so good.
Kendle says
Do you just bake it according to the biscuit instructions?
Carrie says
I bake this recipe at 350 for 25-35 minutes. Thank you!
Melissa says
SCRUMPTIOUS!! I made this last night, after a long day in the operating room….I changed things up a bit: I used 1 pkg Jimmy Dean pre-cooked pork sausage crumbles, some sliced peppers, mushrooms and onions along with the pepperoni and LOTS of cheese! and now we have leftovers in the freezer!! I REALLY enjoyed the simplicity of it, and it tastes WAY BETTER than deep dish delivery pizza. Try this recipe, you won’t be disappointed!!
Carrie says
Thanks for sharing Melissa. Your toppings sound delicious!
Dawn says
Do you think this can be put together, refrigerated, and then baked the next day?
Joshua says
What size of canned biscuits and can it be jumbo size canned biscuits
jill Hetherington says
All l can find are buttermilk biscuits. What kind of biscuits does the recipe call for? What about canned pizza crust dough, would that work? I want to make this but I want it to turn out. Please help.
Michael Macanka says
can you use real pizza dough for this recipe
Justin says
This is my go too deep dish pizza . one thing I would recommend is depending on your oven you may have to adjust the cooking temp and time.
Carrie says
Thank you Justin!
Wanda C says
I make this pizza quite often. Since it’s just my husband and me, I half the recipe and bake in an 8×8 dish. I brown half a pound of Italian sausage and add pepperoni delicious!
Brittni says
My kids LOVE this recipe. We don’t make our own sauce, tried and they didn’t like it. They prefer when I use premade pizza sauce.
Myla says
I love this bubble up pizza. I have taken it to friends house for dinner & the kids ate it up. I have taken it to church functions or had it with my grandson when he comes over to spend the night.
