Heart-Shaped Mini Pizzas Recipe Notes And Tips

• You can use homemade crust or a large pre-made pizza crust. Use the heart shaped cookie cutter just as you would in the flatbread.

• Using the mini pepperoni’s will save time quartering the larger ones.

• A 5 – 6 inch heart shaped cookie cutter is the best size for this recipe. Of course, you can use what you have available or use the size that works best for your purposes.

• Use a baking sheet to bake several at one time. Don’t forget to give the baking sheet a light shot of non-stick cooking spray.

Variations Of Heart-Shaped Mini Pizzas To Try

• If you have a tiny heart shape cutter, cut hearts out of the pepperoni slices for a little added cuteness. 😉

• Add chicken, hamburger or sausage instead of or in addition to the pepperoni’s. 😋

• You might have other favorite pizza toppings you want to use such as onions, olives, garlic, pineapple or mushrooms. Pile ’em on!

• Find a gluten-free flatbread option so all your pizza lovers can enjoy these delicious bites.

• Mozzarella cheese is always great choice to put on pizza but you may have another favorite type of cheese you would like to add such as cheddar, gouda, asiago, Mexi-blend, provolone, or swiss.

FAQs

Here are some common questions about making heart-shaped mini pizzas and the answers.

Can I freeze these Heart-Shaped Mini Pizzas?

There are actually two different ways you can freeze them. You can freeze the pizzas that have been baked and completely cooled in an air-tight freezer bag or freezer-safe container.

Or assemble the mini pizzas, then package them for freezing prior to baking.

When you are ready to remove the pre-baked or ready-to-bake pizzas from the oven, allow them to thaw at room temperature before baking or reheating.

How long will these Heart-Shaped Mini Pizzas keep in the refrigerator?

If you happen to have any leftovers of these adorable mini pizzas, place them in the fridge in an air-tight container and they will keep nicely for up to 3 – 4 days.

Can I use refrigerated pizza dough instead of flatbread?

Absolutely! I would recommend laying it out flat on a baking sheet and baking as per directions on the package but without any toppings.

Then cut out the heart shape with your cookie cutter, add toppings, and place back in the oven long enough for the cheese to melt.
