Easy Pizza Biscuit Bake (Cheesy Pull-Apart Pizza Casserole)
This Easy Pizza Biscuit Bake is a quick, family-friendly dinner that tastes like a cross between pizza and a cheesy casserole. Soft biscuit pieces bake in rich pizza sauce with melty mozzarella and pepperoni, creating a bubbly, golden dish that’s perfect for busy nights.
Ingredients
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3.5 oz pepperoni slices
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for greasing the dish)
Optional toppings
½ cup diced green bell peppers
¼ cup sliced black olives
¼ cup diced onions
¼ cup cooked sausage or bacon bits
Extra mozzarella or parmesan for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.
2. Prepare the Biscuits
Open the biscuit can and cut each biscuit into 4 small pieces using a knife or kitchen scissors.
3. Mix the Base
In a large bowl combine:
Biscuit pieces
Pizza sauce
1 cup of the mozzarella
Half of the pepperoni
Italian seasoning
Mix gently so the biscuit pieces are well coated.
4. Assemble the Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Top with:
Remaining 1 cup mozzarella
Remaining pepperoni
Any optional toppings you like.
5. Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until:
The cheese is melted and bubbly
The top is golden brown
The biscuits are fully cooked inside
6. Rest and Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
This helps the cheese set and makes it easier to scoop.
Helpful Tips
Check the center biscuits with a fork or toothpick to make sure they are not doughy.
If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
Serve with a simple salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
