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
- Pepperoni (or your favorite pizza toppings)
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 mozzarella cheese over the top of the pizza sauce.
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!

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.

Bake as the recipe outlines. Then allow the pizza to cool completely. I like to slice it up into the perfect lunch portions.

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.
can you use real pizza dough for this recipe
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.
Thank you Justin!
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!
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.
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.
Hey I was just going to make an 8×8 pan full because I only have 1 can of biscuits, should I still bake for that long?
I would reduce all the ingredients in half and still bake for the same time when using an 8X8 pan. Thanks.
Do you use grand biscuits?
No – I used regular buttermilk biscuits.
So easy and inexpensive and delicious. Win win win !!!
I used bacon bits for the topping and before I put the pizza sauce on top of the quartered biscuits I drizzled them with a small amount of melted butter mixed with garlic powder and Italian seasoning- just to season the biscuits a bit. Yum O!
