These Easy Homemade Pizza Lunchables are a quick, fun, and kid-friendly lunch option featuring mini pizzas with a soft crust, tangy sauce, and gooey cheese. Perfect for school lunches, picnics, or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

  • Mini pita breads or small flour tortillas
  • Olive oil (about 1 tsp per base)
  • Tomato sauce (½ cup / 120 ml)
  • Garlic powder (½ tsp)
  • Dried oregano (1 tsp)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese (1 to 1½ cups / 100-150 g)
  • Pepperoni slices or mini turkey pepperoni (optional, about 20 slices)
  • Mini bell pepper rings or thinly sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves (a few for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lay out mini pitas or tortillas on the baking sheet. Lightly brush each with about 1 tsp olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup tomato sauce, ½ tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth.
  4. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the seasoned tomato sauce evenly over each pizza base.
  5. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons (15-20 g) of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each pizza.
  6. Add pepperoni slices (4-5 per pizza) or your choice of veggies like bell pepper rings or mushrooms.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. Check after 8 minutes to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese if desired. Cut into halves or quarters for easy eating.

Notes

Do not overload the sauce to avoid soggy crust. Brush the base with olive oil for a crispy bottom. Bake at 375°F and watch closely after 8 minutes to prevent burning. Rotate baking sheet halfway if cheese isn’t melting evenly. Cover loosely with foil if crust browns too fast. Bake fully and cool before packing for lunchboxes. Reheat in microwave or oven before serving.
