How to Make Sausage & Pepperoni Pizza Puffs
These pizza bites are super simple to make with only a few simple ingredients. Start with cooking sausage in a skillet until crumbled and no longer pink. Combine Bisquick, mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasoning. Add cooked sausage and chopped pepperoni. Stir in buttermilk until a dough forms. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto a baking sheet and bake.
- I used Jimmy Dean hot sausage. You can substitute turkey sausage for a lower calorie option.
- I used Hormel mini pepperoni. You can use any pepperoni that you enjoy in this dish.
- Use Gluten-Free Bisquick for a gluten-free recipe.
- Feel free to add any of your favorite pizza toppings to the dough – mushrooms, peppers, onions, olives.
- To make homemade buttermilk, combine 1 cup of milk with 1 Tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes or until the milk starts to curdle.
- I used a medium cookie scoop to make the puffs. You can use a small cookie scoop or a large cookie scoop. You will just need to adjust the cooking time.
- Can pizza puffs be frozen? Yes! You can freeze the leftover biscuits for later. Let the biscuits cool completely and place in a freezer bag and freeze. Reheat in the microwave or covered in foil in the oven.
What to Serve with Pizza Bites
We like to serve these bites with warm pizza sauce or marinara sauce. They are also delicious with some Homemade Ranch Dressing. For lunch or dinner, we usually serve these bites with a salad, pasta salad, or some broccoli.

I'm thinking bulk Italian sausage and muenster cheese(tastes like fontina but 1/4 the price) . Next time I make spaghetti sauce I'll make extra for dipping! I can totally see these for the husband's next football party!
I'm new to your blog and after making these little yummies tonight I am definitely hooked!
I made these for a Halloween party this past weekend. They went faster than the real pizza on the table!
yummmm! these look so good steph! i think i might need to make these for the next football gameday 🙂
Those tailgate parties have been incredible because of all the wonderful things you've brought. These look amazing. Wouldn't last long around here.
Those mini pepperoni are a great find. They work well with pizza and in dishes like this awesome one.
I love the old sausage balls, so sounds like a plan to me!!
Have a great weekend Steph!
They look amazing!
I really like these two photos. Great lighting.

They look like just the right thing for tailgating.
These look so good! I will definitely try these!
I can understand them going fast. They look and sound delicious.
These would be great for a kids party too. Simple and easy to throw together.
Yummy. You can go wrong with bite sized nibbles. 😉
