Pizza Nachos
Your favorite pepperoni pizza is now pizza nachos! Tangy sauce drizzled on crispy dough crust chips, topped with pepperoni and melted cheese. Share with your friends. That is if you want to share…
When Brooks is away on a Tuesday, it is pizza night in the Stewart household. Braxton and Connor used to be strictly cheese only.
While away, Braxton tried pepperoni for the first time and decided that it was his new topping of choice.
As the older brother does, so does the younger brother follow. Connor now eats pepperoni only.
They think that cheese is terrible, even though that is what their pepperoni pizza only without the pepperoni!
Kids… They drive me crazy some days and then they flash their cute dimples I am mush.

I was thinking of them when I started thinking about nacho recipes that I wanted to share. Pepperoni pizza in particular but in an easier method to share.
What do you do if you don’t want a whole slice? Don’t get dressed and drive to a pizza place to order one slice, if they even sell by the slice, and then have to drive home where your pizza slice is now cold.
Don’t worry about all that nonsense just grab a few pieces of these nachos!

How to Make Pizza Nachos
First: Preheat oven to 350F. Roll out pizza dough until thin. Brush with olive oil and salt.
Second: Bake as directed or until cooked. Remove from oven and slice into chip-sized wedges. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Third: Lay chips out on baking sheet (use the same one so you don’t have more dishes). Drizzle or spread the sauce over the chips.Place pepperoni on the sauce and chips.
Fourth: Cover with cheese, crushed red pepper, and Italian Seasoning Mix. Bake at 350F for 5 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melty. Serve to your hungry guests!
For the full recipe and detailed instructions, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
For some, deep dish is the way to go, but I am a thin crust girl. The chips for my pizza nachos are made from prepared pizza dough rolled out to a medium or thin thickness.
If you want to go thinner you can, but the melty cheese might cause them to break a bit. I just sliced them on the diagonal to make traditional “chip” shapes and off I went.
Having these toppings on pizza crust chips is really like eating a tiny personalized pizza but on a sheet pan for sharing with friends. If you can stand to share.
If you love this recipe as much as I do, please write a five-star review in the comment section below (or on Pinterest with the “tried it” button – you can now add pictures into reviews, too!), and be sure to help me share on facebook!
Grab some of your friends, or sneak away by yourself and make some pizza nachos. Maybe they can be your new choice when the kids want a pizza night!

I absolutely love this idea! I think the boyfriend will love it even more. The use of the pizza dough as the nacho chips is so wonderful. I am a white pizza girl myself, so I envision creamy, garlicky, cheesy nachos with perhaps some artichokes or mushroom. And bacon. Always bacon 🙂

Pizza Night is ALWAYS the best night! Jennifer, I used to make pizza nachos all the time back when Erik and I lived in San Diego. It was so much fun and always something to look forward to. As always, I love your super fun and creative nachos recipes! I mean, hello, Pretzel Dessert Nachos? 🙂 P.S. My sister has dimples and it gets her anything she wants. 😉
Dimples are hard to resist!
This is genius J! It’s perfect for when I want to eat pizza, but not overdose on it! (Although knowing me, I might just eat it all anyway!) It looks AWESOME!
Me too! I just ate the whole pan in one sitting!
Oh wow, I love both pizza and nachos, combining the two sounds amazing and I love that you made the chips using pizza crust, yum!
Varying toppings is definitely a bonus when people have different tastes.
That way everyone is happy and that is so essential with kids in the house!
Jennifer–Crazy good!! Tate and Layla would both inhale these in no time!!
What an awesome idea! I can see a lot of different toppings you can use for this dish. My family would love this.
I love that you can add all your favorite pizza toppings!
