Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella over each slice or round.

Bake: 6–8 minutes
-
Cool: 2–3 minutes
I estimate the total time at under 15 minutes—great for a quick snack fix.
Variations
-
I sometimes blend mozzarella with a bit of cheddar for extra sharpness.
-
I sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes before baking for even more flavor.
-
To switch it up, I swap pepperoni for mini pepperoni or turkey pepperoni.
-
For a veggie twist, I add a few sliced olives or diced peppers on top before melting.
storage/reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days—though they’re best fresh. If they lose crispness, I re-crisp them in a 350 °F (175 °C) oven or toaster oven for 3–4 minutes until crunchy again.
FAQs
Can I use other cheeses besides mozzarella?
Yes, I’ve used cheddar, Colby jack, or Monterey Jack—just choose a good melting cheese for the crispiest chips.
Do I need parchment paper?
It’s not essential, but I prefer it to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Can I make a bigger batch?
Absolutely. I simply double or triple ingredients and bake on multiple trays—just watch timing as oven heat can vary.
Are these gluten-free?
Yes, if I use pepperoni-only chips or gluten-free dough rounds, they’re entirely gluten-free and low-carb.
Can I skip the pepperoni?
Definitely—I’ve made plain cheese chips too. They’re equally satisfying and even quicker.
Conclusion
These 2‑ingredient pizza chips are my go‑to for effortless, flavorful snacking. They’re quick, customizable, and hit that deep‑dish pizza craving in chip form. Every crunchy bite brings big flavor with zero guilt—or dishes.
