Pizza in a Mug
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”.
- 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. 😉

Microwave Mug Pizza
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. Want to try other great pizza recipes?
- If you want to make pizza another different way, try our crockpot pizza recipe too.
- Use a second mug per person and make a salad too. Paired together my kids think it is the best meal ever!!
- If you’re into making your own pie at home this is some of the best pan pizza you’ll ever try that everyone can enjoy together!
- Frozen pizza in air fryer works great to get it crispy quickly
- We have a quick Instant Pot pizza recipe on The Typical Mom….
We’ve even made this semi-homemade air fryer hot pocket recipe with pizza inside and air fryer pizza rolls that my kids love.

I love this ideas for mug meals and deserts. Especially for traveling in our fifthwheel. I have Tupperware soup mugs I think would work great for these meals. Will try them out!

I just found this site! I am cooking for 1. My pizza change is for real Italian sausage! Grew up in Chicago area before pepperoni became a thing! It would be worth the taste to have precooked sausage in my freezer! Would have loved the ‘Mug’ recipes in my farming, working, and wife, mom years!
