Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (13.8 oz) can refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1012 slices of pepperoni, cut into small shapes (e.g., stars or ornaments)
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers (for “garland”)
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell peppers (for “ornaments”)
  • 2 tablespoons black olives, sliced (optional, for “ornaments”)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Shape the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a large triangle to resemble a Christmas tree. Use any leftover dough to form a trunk.
  • Add the Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  • Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.
  • Decorate the Tree: Use the green and red bell peppers to create “garland” and “ornaments” on the tree. Arrange the pepperoni slices or cut shapes as desired. Add black olives for extra decoration.
  • Season and Drizzle: Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the pizza and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Serve: Let the pizza cool slightly, then slice and serve. Enjoy your festive Christmas Tree Pizza!

Notes

  • Let kids join in the fun by decorating the tree with their favorite toppings!
  • Swap out toppings to accommodate dietary preferences or allergies.
