These mini heart shaped pizzas are fun, festive, and easy to make—perfect for Valentine’s Day, kids’ parties, or a cute family dinner. Made with simple ingredients and customizable toppings, they’re ready in under 30 minutes and bring a delightful twist to traditional pizza night.

Ingredients

Pizza Base

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • Olive oil (for brushing)

Sauce and Cheese

  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings (Optional)

  • Pepperoni slices
  • Bell peppers, sliced
  • Olives, sliced
  • Mushrooms, sliced

Seasoning

  • Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about ¼-inch thickness for a thin and crispy crust.
  3. Cut Heart Shapes: Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out mini heart-shaped pizzas from the dough and transfer them carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the edges of each dough heart with olive oil to help achieve a golden, crisp crust during baking.
  5. Add Sauce: Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each heart-shaped dough piece, ensuring it doesn’t get too close to the edges.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce-covered dough hearts.
  7. Add Toppings: Arrange desired toppings such as pepperoni slices, bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms on top of the cheese.
  8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese has melted and bubbled.
  9. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with Italian seasoning if using, and serve warm for a fun and flavorful mini pizza experience.
