Description

Fun and festive heart-shaped pizzas, perfect for special occasions or a playful dinner twist.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or your favorite toppings)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Divide the pizza dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, shape each into a heart by rolling into an oval and pinching the top center, shaping the bottom into a point.
  3. Transfer the shaped dough hearts to the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Brush each heart with olive oil, then spread about 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly on each.
  5. Sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella on each, then distribute pepperoni slices on top.
  6. Sprinkle a little dried oregano over each pizza for extra flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
  9. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can customize toppings: veggies, cooked sausage, or a mix of cheeses.
  • For crispier crust, prebake shaped dough for 3–4 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Use a pizza stone or cast-iron skillet to enhance crispness.
  • Leftover dough can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 days.
