Pizza is one of my favorite foods and is always a household favorite. I could easily eat pizza weekly and not get tired of it. I'm also pretty sure I am not alone in that statement. On occasion, we have pizza night at home, and I chop up a bunch of ingredients for everyone to build their own personal pizza. I almost always have leftover toppings, especially pepperoni which would otherwise sit in the fridge and go bad.

This casserole is a fun spin on pizza and a great idea for an easy weeknight dinner when you don't have a lot of time, but still want a delicious and comforting home-cooked meal.

What Else Can I Add?

You can customize this recipe by adding in any of your favorite pizza toppings. I personally love to add in some veggies like bell pepper, onion, spinach, or artichoke hearts. I also love adding some pesto or fresh basil. You can mix it in or drizzle it on top when the casserole comes out of the oven.

Serving Ideas and Suggestions

This recipe is great by itself, but if you want to serve it with a side dish here are some options:

  • Side salad - My favorite is a classic salad made with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, or anything else you like with an Italian dressing. It is very simple but refreshing and compliments this heavier, cheesy dish well.
  • Garlic Bread - A classic side dish to both pizza and pasta.
  • Roasted or Sautéed Vegetables - I find zucchini or other summer squashes pair well with the flavors in this dish.

Tips for Making Pepperoni Pizza Casserole

  • Pre-shredded cheese doesn't melt as well because of the starch coating that keeps it from sticking together in the bag. It takes just a few extra minutes to shred up some fresh mozzarella that will make all the difference in this recipe.
  • You can easily assemble this dish ahead of time and leave it covered in the fridge until you are ready to bake it.
