Our Pizza Pot Pie recipe is cheesy, sauce, easy, and perfect for when you need a quick way to make dinner exciting!  It’s similar to a classic Chicago pizza pot pie, but made right at home.

The Best Pizza Pot Pie

All you need for this easy recipe are six simple ingredients plus a few 5-inch ramekins to allow each family member to make their own individual pizzas! Your pizza lovers will delight in this fun spin on a dinner classic. Follow along as we share a step-by-step guide on how to assemble these guys in just about 12-15 minutes.

What You Will Need

• butter – It’s the best way to ensure that your pizza easily releases from the ramekin and to get a nice crispy crust after baking. You could also probably get away with cooking spray or olive oil but note that we only tested this recipe using butter.
• mozzarella cheese – Melted mozzarella cheese is a must on any homemade pizza but feel free to use any special blend of cheeses.
• pepperoni – We quartered ours to allow them to fit into the ramekins.
• pizza sauce – Feel free to pick up your favorite store bough variety or try your hand at our easy homemade pizza sauce.
• pizza dough – We used pizza dough from the grocery store but you could certainly use our easy homemade pizza dough recipe.
• parmesan cheese – Just a bit to sprinkle on the pizza dough prior to baking.
• optional pizza toppings – sausage, black olives, mushrooms, green bell pepper, fresh mushrooms.
• optional garnishes – fresh basil, fresh oregano, additional grated parmesan.

How To Make A Pizza Pot Pie

While your oven preheats to 400 degrees, grease the bottom and sides of each ramekin with butter.  This ensures that your pizzas release easily after baking.

Next, add about 3/4 of a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the bottom of each ramekin followed by a layer of quartered pepperoni on top of the cheese, which equates to about 2-3 tablespoons.  If you want to add any additional toppings, this is the time to add them.  Then add about a quarter cup of your homemade sauce or store bought sauce on top of the toppings. 

Now spread out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 6×6 inch squares.  Place a square of dough over the top of each ramekin and pinch the dough around the edge of each ramekin.  Feel free to toss the excess dough.

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and let them cook in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or when you notice a nice golden brown color on the pie crust. While they bake, melt a tablespoon of butter in a small bowl and brush it on the pizza dough and then add a sprinkling of parmesan cheese over the top. Return to the oven for 2 minutes.

Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven, let them cool slightly and the carefully flip the ramekin over onto a clean plate and lift the ramekin up to reveal your melty, cheesy pizza!  Because the pizza crust was cooked laying on top of the ramekin, once flipped, they’ll make a natural bowl of sorts, which holds in the sauce, cheese, and toppings.
