Texas toast pizza is a quick and easy way to get tasty pizza in minutes.
Texas toast pizza is made with thick slices of Texas toast topped with pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni…and anything else you can think of!
Perfect Pizza-Topped Texas Toast
- Quick and Easy: This Texas toast recipe uses frozen or homemade bread topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni for a simple, flavorful snack.
- Perfectly Melty: Bake at the perfect temperature for a crispy, cheesy treat that’s ready in just 10-12 minutes, with melted cheese and slightly browned edges.
- Customizable: Add your favorite pizza toppings like olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers to make it your own.
- Prep in advance: Prep and freeze until ready to pop in the oven. Perfect for last-minute sleepovers and movie nights.
Flavor-Filled Fixings
Texas Toast: Buy it or make your own Texas toast garlic bread and freeze the rest. Make even smaller portions using regular garlic bread or crostini.
Pizza Sauce: Buy it or make it and season it any way you like.
Pepperoni: Mini pepperoni slices are fun for Texas toast pizzas, but any pepperoni, crumbled sausage, leftover ground beef, chicken, or turkey works. Omit the meat altogether and add extra cheese for homemade cheese pizzas.
Cheese: The cheesier the better. Use any single kind of cheese or mix and match with what’s on hand.
Terrific Topping Twists: Anything goes on Texas toast pizza. Set out bowls of sliced black olives, mushrooms, peppers, jalapenos, or very thinly sliced pieces of zucchini to get those veggies in.
How to Make Texas Toast Pizza
- Spread sauce, cheese, and toppings on each piece of Texas toast.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown (full recipe below).
Top-Notch Tips
- Use pre-shredded cheese to save time!
- Make homemade pizzas from fresh or frozen (and thawed) slices.
- Or make a single serving from frozen by wrapping it in foil and popping it in the toaster (so all the toppings stay put).
Toast-tastic Turnarounds:
Leftover Texas Toast Pizza can be used as a base for sloppy joes, or keep them in a covered container for up to 3 days.
Freeze cooled pizzas between sheets of parchment paper and then place them in a zippered bag for up to 3 months. Reheat thawed pizzas in the oven or the air fryer.
Serve with a hearty, comforting bowl of homemade minestrone or a simple side of carrots and celery with a creamy sour cream dip.
