- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using your hands flatten out the biscuits until they are flat and round. (Check the step-by-step photos above in the post for a visual.)
- Add 1 ½ teaspoons pizza sauce to the middle of the flattened biscuit. Add 2 slices of pepperoni and one of the cheese squares.
- .Bring the middle pieces together and pinch them until they seal. Next, pull up the ends and pinch until all the ends are blended and sealed together.
- Place the bomb on the prepared baking tray SEAM side down. Repeat until all pizza bombs are assembled.
- In a small bowl, whisk to combine the butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Using a pastry brush, or a spoon, to coat the pizza bombs with the butter mixture. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly on top of the bombs.

Notes
- Storage: These pizza bombs are best served fresh. You can store leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 3 days. Try reheating them in the oven or in an air fryer for best results.
- Make sure and put the seam side down on the baking tray. Otherwise, the pizza bombs spread open while baking, they will taste the same but look a little differently. More like a pizza flower, but not in a pretty way, in a messy way.
- Do not overfill the biscuit, overfilling will cause the sauce and cheese to leak out during baking.
- Keep the biscuits in the refrigerator until you have everything prepped and ready to go. The dough holds its shape better when it is at its coldest.
- Keep the sauce in the middle of the flattened biscuit, this will help seal the biscuit if the ends are nice and dry. If the dough gets wet it doesn't seal as tightly.
- These are super easy and really tasty! Customize them to whatever your favorite pizza toppings are!
- If you like your pizza bombs extra saucy, serve them with some extra pizza sauce or homemade marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
