Mini Deep Dish Pizza Pies
Pizza night! A family favorite tradition – every second Friday is Pizza night for this pizza-loving family. I try to bring in a little variety, occasionally, for our pizza nights. Sometimes we’ll make flatbread pizza where everyone gets their own flatbread and can top it themselves with a variety of toppings. Other times we’ll go simple with a quick and easy frozen pizza. In this household, there’s no such thing as a bad pizza!

So I found these cheap, oven-safe ramekins last week and was thinking about what I could use them for when our pizza night came to mind. The ramekin dishes were perfect for personal deep dish pizzas. So I snatched them up and the following Friday put them together. Their quick and simple to make, and the kids loved them as something different than traditional pizza! While we went with traditional pepperoni pizzas, you can include any of your favorite toppings.
This recipe makes two servings, so be sure to gather ingredients accordingly for additional mini pizzas.
