Meatball Mozzarella Mini Pizzas By Kelly Miller • December19,2014 • Updated March 13, 2020 • 4 Comments 814 Jump to Recipe Meatball Mozzarella Mini Pizzas made with refrigerated rolls for the perfect crust! Marinara sauce, chopped meatballs, lots of mozzarella, and topped with fresh spinach and a garlic butter drizzle! We are pretty much pizza addicts in this house. We have some sort of pizza, or variation of a pizza, at least once a week in this house. Crunchy crust, tangy tomato sauce, and lots and lots of cheese. Everyone gets fed. Everyone is filled. And most importantly, everyone is happy. I have to say though, just the plain sauce cheese and crust can get a little boring after a while. Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE a good, classic cheese pizza. Really, who doesn’t? When we’re eating out, I’m often inspired by the new creative pizzas I’ve been seeing at our favorite restaurants. Paul and I usually go for something a little different, unusual, or even a bit gourmet – while the boys opt for maybe one extra topping on their favorite classic pizza. When we’re home, it’s easy to switch up a regular pizza. I try to look for things hanging out in the fridge that need to get used up: taco meat, grilled chicken, different cheeses, and chopped veggies usually top the list for me. Anything to make dinner that night just a bit different. One of my favorite things to keep in the fridge for a quick pizza night are canned refrigerated jumbo biscuits. Separate them, flatten them out, and you have the perfect pizza crust. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can spread out different sauces, toppings, and cheeses and have everyone customize their own! At 3 and 5, I think you know how my boys would deal with that much freedom… haha. Meatball Mozzarella Mini Pizzas Refrigerated rolls make the perfect crust for these miniature pizzas!

Paige Smith says March 4, 2015 at 2:27 pm Wow, I did not know that you can make pizza using rolls for the mini pizza crust. How cute! Also I bet you could use the same ingrediants listed: marinara sauce, chopped meatballs, mozzarella, fresh spinach to make tons of other fun meals, like stuffed bell peppers. I am always trying to find quick and easy ways to cook food with out having it super processed, thanks for the idea. pizza calgary Reply
