Hi Bold Bakers!
I think we can all agree that a love for Pizza is one thing we all have in common. It wasn’t hard to come up with this Pizza Pop-Tart recipe. I just took everything that is awesome about a pizza and wrapped it in pastry! Once you have your Puff Pastry to hand for this recipe you are halfway there with these Pizza Savory Pop-Tarts. Now, you can stick to my delicious recipes or come up with your own Big & Bold variations. Whatever you decide, just know you can keep on going until the pastry runs out. Be sure to share your favorite flavors here on my website or my social media.
I like to think of myself as a bit of an innovator when it comes to Pizza. I have taken some of my favorite recipes and “Pizzafied” (TM pending) them. Recipes like Mug Pizza, Pizza Monkey Bread and now I can add Pizza Pop-Tarts to that list.

Pizza Pop-Tarts
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Pizza sauce
- 30 mini pepperoni’s (or large pepperoni cut into small pieces)
- 2 cups (3 ½ oz/100g) mozzerella, grated
- 2 tablespoons dried Italian Herbs
- Puff Pastry
- Egg wash*
Instructions
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until ¼ - ½ inch thick.
- With a pizza cutter or knife cut your pastry to 3inch x 4inch rectangles. You will need 2 for each pop tarts.
- On one piece of pastry, spoon a little Pizza sauce. You only need a little as too much will run out of the Pop-Tart once baked.
- Sprinkle over grated cheese, pepperoni and dried herbs.
- Egg wash the edges of the pastry around the filling, lay on the top layer and seal the 2 pieces together with a fork. Egg wash the top of the Pop-Tart, this will give your Pop-Tart a lovely golden color. Prick the top with a fork to release steam while baking.
- Bake at 400oF (200oC) for 20-23 minutes or until golden brown.
- Enjoy warm from the oven.
- Notes
- You can freeze the Pop-Tarts raw and then bake from frozen when needed.
- Egg wash: whisk up an egg yolk with 4 tablespoons of milk and brush over pastry
Thank you Gemma That helps a lot. Just an ole grandma here thinking about great grand kids with parents running a business that takes a lot of time and work. I love your recipes and so do they. So unusual to be able to ask questions and get replies. Easy access to recipes, gave up on Pinrest , to many recipes to search through for me. Yours is the BEST web site ever ! So much help and ideas. Thanks ever so much.
This is a fantastic idea. Thank you for creating and sharing it. I’m curious about how the dough is supposed to cook. In the video it looks rather underdone on the inside, especially on the bottom layer. Is that the intended texture when we make it and does that give the expected flakiness, or should I target a little more bake on it? (I realize that there can be variation between preparations, especially when you’re whipping up a batch for a video. I just want to know what the target is.) I am definitely going to experiment with all sorts… Read more »
Gemma, These pizza pop tarts were bomb! UUUmmmm! Loved how the buttery-flaky crust soaked up the salty drippings from the cheese and meat! Foodie heaven! I posted pictures of my “Meat Lovers” tarts, which were stuffed with pizza sauce, mottazerlla cheese, salami, pepperoni, sausage, smoked sausage and topped with ricotta, Parmesan and red pepper flakes. My next venture with these pies are breakfast: scrambled eggs with cheese and Canadian bacon; or perhaps scrambled eggs with Montery-jack cheese, roasted garlic-green chilie; or the good old stand-by, scrambled eggs, Mexican blend cheese, salsa and potatoes.
