🌟 Introduction
Sometimes the best snacks are the simplest! These 2-ingredient pizza chips are everything you love about pizza — cheese, pepperoni, and flavor — without the carbs.

🥘 Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
Step 1 – Prep the Tray
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This prevents sticking and helps the chips crisp evenly.
Step 2 – Cheese Mounds
Spoon small piles of shredded mozzarella onto the tray. Keep them about 2 inches apart because they’ll spread as they melt.
Step 3 – Add Pepperoni
Press mini pepperonis into each cheese mound. Tip: Use turkey pepperoni for a lighter option or regular pepperoni for extra richness.
Step 4 – Bake Until Crispy
Pop the tray in a 400°F oven for 7–10 minutes. Watch closely — once edges turn golden brown, they’re ready.
Step 5 – Cool & Serve
Let the chips cool for 5 minutes before lifting off the tray. This is when they firm up into that perfect crunch!
🧀 Ingredient Details & Substitutions
- Mozzarella Cheese: Works best because it melts evenly and crisps up nicely. Substitute with cheddar, parmesan, or provolone for different flavors.
- Pepperoni: Mini pepperonis are ideal, but you can chop regular pepperoni slices into small pieces. Turkey pepperoni works great for a lighter version.
- Add-ons: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
🌮 Variations & Serving Suggestions
- Supreme Chips: Add tiny bits of olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms before baking.
- Spicy Kick: Swap pepperoni for spicy salami or sprinkle with chili flakes.
- Dip Pairings: Serve with marinara, garlic aioli, ranch, or pesto for dipping.
- Party Platter: Make a large batch and serve as a fun appetizer or movie-night snack.
🧊 Storage & Make-Ahead
- Fridge: Store cooled chips in an airtight container up to 3 days.
- Reheat: To re-crisp, bake in a 375°F oven for 2–3 minutes. Avoid microwaving (they’ll turn soggy).
- Make Ahead: Prep cheese piles on parchment, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve fresh.
