Learn how to make perfect pizzette - traditional Italian mini pizzas that are ideal for appetizers or party snacks. This easy mini pizza recipe yields delightfully crispy, individual-sized pizzas topped with classic ingredients like fresh mozzarella, parmesan, and pepperoni.

Preheat. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
Divide dough. Divide pizza dough into 12-15 equal portions (about 30g each) and shape into balls.
Shape dough. On a surface dusted with semolina flour, roll each dough ball into a small circle.
Add sauce. Spread 1-2 teaspoons of pizza sauce on each round, leaving a small border for the crust.
Top pizzas. Top each pizzetta with shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, and pepperoni slices.
Bake. Place baking sheet on top of the pizza stone or baking steel if using, and bake for 8-10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
Serve. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For best results, let dough come to room temperature before shaping
Work in batches if needed, keeping remaining dough covered while working
storage
Stash your pizzettas in the fridge for up to 48 hours, or freeze for longer term storage. You can store them fully cooked in the fridge, then heat them up in the toaster oven for a quick snack!
