I was hoping to make this recipe over the holidays and I saw another comment that asked if the temperatures are in Fahrenheit or Celsius and you said Fahrenheit but I was wondering, because I am in Australia and have a fan-forced oven, once I transfer the temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius, would I put my oven on the temperature given or do I change it again to accommodate for it being fan-forced?
Jessica Fisher
Hi Page! I am not familiar with those types of ovens, but I asked a friend from New Zealand. She says to convert to C, but you’ll need to google what to adjust (time or temp) for your type of oven. Hope that helps!
Page
This helps so much, thank you xx

These were a huge hit! I frozen them completely baked and I had to fight my family to actually have enough to freeze. I throw them in my kid’s lunches and my husband can grab one to reheat for his lunch at home.
Jessica Fisher
Yay! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review.
Alisha
Made this twice so far with my toddlers who now enjoy pizza. It’s a quick and easy recipe, and tastes great. My kids are looking forward to many more homemade pizza days/nights. I also love oregano and never thought to add it to the dough until I saw this recipe. I doubt I’ll be buying anymore pizza moving forward. Homemade is the way to go. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
Jessica Fisher
Yay! I’m so glad to hear this. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Alisha. ??

I have made these for a while using my go-to slow proof in the fridge dough with garlic powder/herbs. I make a bunch when I do for the freezer. Before I top, I brush each round with olive oil, prick with a fork and par-bake about 5 minutes at 425F; completely cool on wire racks and then top. Then I Flash freeze until solid and double wrap each in plastic wrap before placing in freezer bags (4 per bag), air removed and stack flat. To bake, I find it bakes better in my oven at 425-450F for about 15 minutes from frozen (less time at 450F).

Hey
This recipe looks amazing, want to give it a try but instead of pepperoni can I use fresh bell peppers and onions. Can I freeze them unbaked with these veggies?
Thanks
Jessica Fisher
You can, just slice them thin and pat them dry. Don’t do too many as fresh veg can make the pizza soggy.
Krista
These are so tasty! Both of my girls raved about them and want me to make them every time I do pizza instead of the “other” kind I make. I froze the unbaked pizzas, and they were so easy and quick to bake. These will be a staple for our pizza nights! Thanks, Jessica, for another great recipe.
Jessica Fisher
Yay! So glad you saw success!
Jody
Will all purpose flour work the same? I don’t have bread flour.
Jessica Fisher
It should. I find that bread flour helps the texture, but AP will work.
Molly
Oh I think I need to make these for my husband’s lunch. I would be the hit of the socially-distant cafeteria.
Jessica Fisher
Let me know how it goes!
Molly
Big hit for lunch today. And my husband is looking forward to having homemade pizza whenever he wants.
Heather
Such a great idea to freeze them separately. Then they can be packed for lunch with fresh vegetables, fruit, or salad. Thanks for the awesome idea.
Nicola Dickinson
Hi! This looks great, I just wanted to clarify that 500 degrees is in Fahrenheit? I’m Australian and we measure in Celsius, so I just want to make sure. Thanks!
Jessica Fisher
Yes, sorry for any confusion!
Lisa H
I would love to make these for my always hungry pizza loving teenager. How long would you estimate it takes to thaw a mini pizza? I am just wondering if this is something he could fix after school or if we would need to plan for it and set it out to thaw. He’s used to the boxed cheapo (that aren’t really so cheap) pizza, which offers almost instant gratification. Thanks for the awesome post and any info you or your readers could offer. Just thinking about the money I could save by doing this makes me a little giddy!
Jessica
I think it would thaw on the counter in about 30 minutes but I’ve reheated them from frozen without a problem.
Lisa H
@Jessica, Thanks for responding so quickly. Can’t wait to make these! Love your blogs.

I too love mushrooms, unlike the rest of my family, I’m in the minority. Just wondering if you know much about mushrooms, you’ve probably got the E-mail from Abundant Harvest about mushrooms. The price seems a little rich for my blood, but maybe you know something I don’t and they are actually selling for a good price and are worth snatching some up while they’re around. What do you think?
Jessica
@NIA, I didn’t get the email until a week after you asked this question. I’m not really sure. It’s low on my priority list, though.
Claire
This is making me hungry! Love the idea. Thank you!
Megan
Made these for my kids’ lunch today. Easy and tasty! Love the addition of herbs to the dough. My kids always want lunchables pizza kits, but I rarely buy them for obvious reasons. Can spend over $10 on them for my 5 kids! These mini pizzas are great for freezing. Also, I baked some of the mini crusts untopped: prick it all over with a fork, lowered the temp to 425 for 3 min, flipped them and baked for another 3 minutes. Now we can make our own pizza kits!
Jessica Fisher
Great idea to make lunchables!
Jennifer
Whenever my kids have friends over we do individual pizzas. I put all the topping in separate bowls and they get to create their own pizza. They love it.
Micha
Perfect timing. Really, how did you know pizza is on the menu? I will be doing this because we all like different things on our pizza.
Can you share a little more about what you put on the ones you freeze, when in the process you freeze them, and how you store them? I’m thinking this could be a great thing for us but I’d love to know more about how you recommend going about it. Thanks so much, for this and for all your great posts!
Jessica
I simply cool the extra pizzas, wrap in foil and stick them in a freezer bag to freeze. To reheat, I find it best to thaw completely and then reheat in a 350 oven for about 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted. You could nuke them, but the crust will be rubbery.
Deborah
@Jessica, Thank you so much for the information! (Had your baked chicken tonight for dinner and love your recipes!) Thanks again.
do you freeze them after you cook them then just toss int he microwave to warm???
Jessica
@Becca, cool completely after baking, wrap in foil and slip into a freezer bag. Then thaw and reheat in a 350 oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
Tiffany @ DontWastetheCrumbs
We make homemade pizza every Friday night and love it. I did a post once, breaking down the cost of making our own vs. ordering out – a HUGE difference, plus it was damage control on our digestive systems. It’s a family affair, and hope it is a memory for the kids as they get older.
I hadn’t thought about freezing pizzas… that may be an option as we get further into homeschool. Thanks Jessica & Cherie for the idea!
You’ve given me a craving! When I was growing up, my mom would make these but use biscuit dough instead of pizza dough. Yum! I think I’ll have to make some…soon.
cherie
LOL your homeschooling brain is showing. Slices of foil wrapped frozen pizza are a prime lunchbox element here!
That said I have a batch of Artisan Pizza in 5 dough in the fridge which will become some smaller pizzas tonight – leftover meatloaf will substitute for meatballs for the girls, canned mushrooms for the boy, not sure what will float my boat.
Will have to ask my feta-chomper if she’d like some of that on her pie!
