- Mug
Make a pizza bar of sorts if there are several people and everyone can really make their own because they’re just so easy to do.
Here’s my youngest helping me. I showed all of them how I created a few and then sent them off on their own so they could “do it myself”.
Pizza in a mug
- First you’ll need a microwave mug which is on the larger size of things.
- Spray the inside with non stick spray if you have it.
- Lay 1 refrigerated biscuit in the bottom.
- In a 1200w microwave microwave for 30 seconds.
- Add a spoonful of marinara sauce on top with some cheese, pepperoni and any dried herbs you want.
- Microwave for 1 minute so it rises up and the toppings are bubbling and melted together.
- Enjoy immediately!
Yes you could make the dough homemade with milk and oil etc. but we are going with fast and easy here. 😉
Seriously that is how easy this single serving pizza is to make. It’s absolutely perfect when the kids need a quick meal.
There are 5 of us and when it is a “make your own dinner” kinda’ night this is perfect. 8 biscuits come in a package so there’s just enough for a light lunch or dinner for us.

I’m thinking of freezing extra spaghetti sauce in ice cube trays. Seems like a cube would be about the right amount to grab for one serving. I like this pizza idea for a snack when my husband gets the munchies about 9:00 p.m.

Look in the freezer section of your grocery store for frozen biscuits. You can just take out however you need and leave the rest in the freezer. You would have to let them thaw for this recipe but it’s better than wasting food.
Sue Marie says
If I have too much of an item, I try to find another recipe to use so as not to waste it. For example, I use this same type of biscuit for chicken and dumplings. Comes out awesome!
The Typical Mom says
Awesome

What would be other options for the crust? I live alone and wouldn’t want to open a tube of biscuits. I might have to try using part of a package of Pizza crust mix. Could you use a little Bisquick. Has anyone tried anything different?
Tammy says
Frozen yeast rolls (raw) would be great and, like the frozen biscuits, could be taken out of the freezer one-at-a-time.
