How to Make Pizza in a Mug
Get ready–it’s really easy! Use your favorite microwavable mug. Mix up a pizza crust with just a few ingredients you already have on hand. And then you can customize your Microwave Mug Pizza with your favorite toppings. I’m a fan of a classic pepperoni pizza but mushroom is a close second.

- 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/16 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk

- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil or oregano will work)
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a microwavable mug
- Add in the milk and oil with mix together. There might be some lump but that is ok
- Spoon on the marinara sauce and spread it around the surface of the batter
- Sprinkle on the cheese, pepperoni and dried herbs
- Microwave for 1 minute 10-20 seconds, or until it rises up and the topping are bubbling (timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary)

Always keep a close eye on your mug while in the microwave so it doesn’t over flow or over cook.
⅛ teaspoon is simply a ½ of a ¼ teaspoon
1/16 teaspoon is simply a ¼ of a ¼ teaspoon

Your Mac n Cheese was soooooo good. For the pizza what if you don’t have marinara sauce? What should you substitute it with? Thanks!
hi there,
Here you go (https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/5-minute-pizza-sauce/) you can make this one. you can also use sieved tomatoes, as in Passata. This wil ldo it for you,
Gemma 🙂
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum! Thanks for this recipe!
Hi Gemma, I don’t have microwave oven at home, can I use toaster oven instead?
Hi there,
Yes, that will be perfect. You can use any oven proof container, or open bake. 180c/350f for about 15 minutes,
Gemma 😉
Great! I would definitely try this at home. 🙂 Thank you!
Sorry but if my microwave has max 800 Watts how much time should I cook? Sorry for my English
Hi Sofia,
There is nothing wrong with your English!
800 Watt is a pretty standard microwave power level, and how it cooks depends on the technology too. What this means is that I cannot be specific. You need to monitor the bake as it proceeds. Bake for 50 seconds, check it, continue in 10 second intervals until it feels barely firm to the touch on top. Then you will know for the next time. Food cooked in the microwave continues to bake for a few minutes after it is removed from the oven, allow for this too.
Thank you for being in touch,
Gemma 🙂
Ahh I wish I could say this didn’t work so I wouldn’t have to make it again but it did work and now I’m obligated to make it every time I have a craving for pizza. Also thanks for leaving a link to the original recipe!
Hi Kari,
Haha! that is funny. I am happy when you are happy,
Gemma 🙂
Hi Gemma!
I just wanted you to know how much my students and I love your mug recipes! We are making the mug pizza this week. I teach students with multiple disabilities, and my goal for them is to always be as independent as possible. I am hoping that these mug recipes are some that they can use for life. We have made the mugritos & mac n cheese, too. They are certainly enjoying this part of our class. 🙂 Thanks a bunch, from all of us!
Ah! That is so nice to hear, thank you.
I hope this will be a step on the ladder for your students, and all student really, a jumping off point for lots of baking and cooking, it takes the mystery out of it!
Good job you too, I am delighted to hear this,
Gemma 🙂

I have tried the macaroni and cheese delicious. I would like to make more recipes but I am gluten free can I use gluten free flours in your recipes? Thanks for your recipes they are great for people to control their portions for weight loss keep up the wonderful work you do.
Hi Roberta,
Thank you for being in touch.
Many ‘cake’ type recipes can be made using a good quality all purpose GF flour. We have some GF recipes here for you (https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/category/recipes/dietary-preferences/gluten-free/).
Breads are more of an issue, as the gluten is so important to these. Some flours are developed for this, with xanthan gum, check your local store for a good supply.
Gemma 🙂
I see that you use a wide mug for your recipes. So what’s the substitute for that?
Hi there,
a cereal bowl/pudding bowl/soup bowl. Really any 6 – 80z capacity bowl will do it, wider than deep is the rule!
Gemma 🙂
This is the best. It is fast for me to make the pizza in the microwave. I only did a cheese pizza and it taste so good.
That is so good to hear Chantese, thank you,
Gemma 🙂
