Mini Garlic Toast Pizza Bites

A Fun & Easy Dinner Idea For The Family

This recipe is so simple that even kids can help make it. It uses just three basic ingredients plus any toppings you like. If your family loves pizza, a garlic toast crust is a fast, tasty shortcut that rarely disappoints.

These mini garlic toast pizzas are perfect for busy weeknights or an unplanned weekend lunch. They’re highly customizable — top them with pepperoni, jalapeños, olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, or anything else your family prefers. They work well as a quick main dish or a casual snack to share.

This is the ultimate lazy way to make pizza, and as an added bonus, the crust is already buttery and garlicky.

How to make them

Bake the frozen garlic toast according to the package instructions, but remove it from the oven about two minutes before it’s done. That gives you a firm but not overcooked base to top.

Assemble the pizzas

Spoon on a thin layer of pizza sauce, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, and add any toppings you want. Use the sauce sparingly to avoid soggy centers — a little goes a long way on this type of crust.

Finish under the broiler

Return the assembled toasts to the oven on the broil setting for 2–4 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown. Watch closely while broiling to prevent burning. Remove, let cool briefly, and serve.

Pro tip: A small jar of pizza sauce is often more than you’ll need. Buy two packages of garlic toast so you can make these again another night with the leftover sauce.

Ingredients

  • Frozen garlic toast
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Toppings of your choice (optional)

Instructions

  • Bake the garlic toast according to package directions, but remove it about two minutes early so the crust is slightly underdone.
  • Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce, add shredded mozzarella, and arrange desired toppings. Avoid over-saucing to keep the center from getting soggy.
  • Return to the oven on broil for 2–4 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown. Keep a close eye while broiling to prevent burning.

Notes

These garlic toast pizzas are a hit with picky eaters and easy to adapt. Make them vegetarian by skipping meat toppings, or add pepperoni and cooked sausage for a heartier option. Serve with a simple salad or raw veggies for a balanced meal.
