Ingredients

Dough and Base

  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade pizza dough)

Filling

  • 1.5 cups marinara sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings such as sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives)
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For Brushing

  • as needed Olive oil for brushing (optional)

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly grease 4-6 small ramekins or oven-safe bowls (depending on the size of your pies).
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  • Cut the dough into circles or squares large enough to fit into your ramekins, leaving about 1 inch of dough hanging over the sides.
  • Gently press the dough into the bottom and sides of each ramekin to form a crust.

Filling

  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce into the bottom of each crust.
  • Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Add a few slices of pepperoni or any other desired toppings.
  • Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan, dried oregano, basil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes over the filling.
  • Top each pot pie with more mozzarella cheese and fold the overhanging dough over the top to partially cover the filling.
  • Brush the tops with a little olive oil for a golden finish (optional).

Baking

  • Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Allow the pies to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pizza Pot Pies are best enjoyed hot from the oven, but they can also be served at room temperature if needed. Pair them with a fresh salad or garlic knots for a complete meal. For an extra touch, offer additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
