Related Questions & Answers

Can I make Pizza Chips without pepperoni?
Yes. Leave it out or replace it with mushrooms, jalapeños, spinach, or finely chopped cooked vegetables.

How do I make them extra crispy?
Spread the cheese mixture thinly and avoid adding too many toppings. Let the chips cool completely before serving.

Can I use cheddar cheese?
Yes. Mozzarella gives the most traditional pizza flavor, but cheddar, provolone, or a combination can also work.

How should I store leftovers?
Keep completely cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for a short period. If they soften, briefly reheat them in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up again.

What is the best dipping sauce?
Warm marinara or pizza sauce is the classic choice, but garlic butter or ranch also works well.
