Cheesy Pizza BitesIf your looking for a recipe to please the entire family then I have the perfect recipe for you today! Imagine fluffy gooey pizza but in little tiny bites… I made these bites for the family and they couldn’t get enough of them. I only made one pan and it didn’t even last 5 minutes in the kitchen. I guess the lesson learned today is to make more next time!

Cheesy Pizza BitesThis recipe is very similar to classic pizza but instead of rolling out the pizza into one big pie, we make little pies and stuffed them with the cheese and sauce in order to form balls. You can make the bites ahead of time and refrigerator for up to one week and then pop them in the oven or toaster as needed.Cheesy Pizza BitesDon’t worry if a little bit of cheese spills out of the balls, just scoop it up with the balls for a plateful of goodness! You can also add toppings into the balls as desired.

Cheesy Pizza BitesWe used homemade pizza dough but store bought pizza dough works great as well! I have also tried this with Pillsbury  canned dough and it was wonderful! Cheesy Pizza Bites
