Easy Pizza Seasoning Recipe

Create the perfect pizza with this homemade pizza seasoning. You can use this on the fresh dough or mix it into your favorite pizza sauce for a boost of extra flavor!

The combination of herbs and spices reminds me of being in an authentic New York pizza place.

I prefer making my own homemade seasoning blend when I can. The flavor is better and they don’t contain fillers like silicon dioxide. Because, who wants to eat that?

Even if you are using a store bought pizza crust, or making your own pizza dough from scratch this is the perfect seasoning for it.

Ingredients Needed

Oregano – Substitute seasoning recipes if needed.

Basil – I prefer to use rosemary in mine but if you like basil:)

Onion – Use the dried onion flakes for texture or substitute onion powder.

Garlic powder – Dried minced garlic is a great substitute.

Parsley – This can be left out or substituted with more oregano.

Thyme – Flakes or ground works just fine.

Fennel – Substitute caraway seeds for the fennel seed if needed.

Paprika – I like regular but sweet Hungarian and smoked paprika make amazing substitutes.

​Crushed red pepper flakes – This is for heat. Switch with a pinch of cayenne pepper or leave out all together.

How to Make Homemade Pizza Seasoning

First: Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a whisk to combine.

Second: Store in a spice jar in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

I like to use it in recipes like pizza rolls, pizza dip, and my crockpot pizza dip.

For the full recipe and detailed instructions, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

How to Use Pizza Seasoning

• Sprinkle on top of your pizza dough before adding the pasta sauces or tomato sauces.
• Mix with olive oil and brush the crust edges before baking.
• Combine with butter and spread on crusty French bread for a next level garlic bread experience!
• ​Stir into a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a dipping oil for crusty bread.
• Sprinkle some on your takeout pizza or store-bought pizzas for more flavor.
• Mix with olive oil as a bread dipping oil as an appetizer with crusty Italian bread or baked pizza crust chips.

How long does it last?

Since all the herbs are dried, it has a shelf life of 6 months if stored properly. But I have a feeling you will use it all before then!

What’s the best way to store it?

​I like to store mine in a small glass jar. They keep it fresh for a long time and make it easy to see what’s in them. Here is my favorite one.

Tapas Tips & Tricks

• Store your homemade pizza seasoning blend in an airtight container like a jar or zip top bag.
• Dehydrated onion pieces or flakes are best for this recipe to add texture and maximum flavor.
• You can add sea salt and ground black pepper if you like.
• Want to use all fresh herbs? Double the amounts listed in the recipe card.
