Pizza pull-apart bread is a mouth-watering and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for sharing with friends and family. This delicious dish is essentially a loaf of bread that has been filled with pizza toppings and then baked to perfection. The result is a warm, cheesy, and flavorful bread that can be pulled apart and shared among a group.
When the bread is finished baking, it will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with gooey melted cheese and savory pizza toppings in every bite. Serve it warm and watch it disappear quickly!
This is a fun recipe anyone will enjoy making and it is a unique twist on regular boring pizza. Refrigerated pizza dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese are baked together in layers in a loaf pan. Anyone can just take their own part piece and pull it apart whenever they want!

Ingredients for Bread
- Refrigerated biscuit dough like Pillsbury - These versatile biscuits are a great addition to any meal and can be used to create a variety of dishes, from sweet to savory.
- Pizza sauce - make your own pizza sauce or use your favorite store bought brand
- Shredded mozzarella cheese or any type of shredded cheese - I like to use Reduced-Fat Cheese because it has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese, but it may also have a different taste and texture.
- Sliced pepperoni - regular or turkey pepperoni is fine
- Additional pizza toppings - You can choose to add your favorite vegetables, meats, and herbs to create a unique flavor profile. Whether you prefer a classic Margherita pizza or a loaded meat lovers pizza, there is a pizza topping combination that will satisfy your taste buds.

How to Pizza Pull Apart Bread
For the full recipe please see the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) bread loaf with nonstick spray.
Tear a biscuit in half and flatten to approximately 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Top with ½ teaspoon pizza sauce, 2 slices of pepperoni, and 1 teaspoon mozzarella. Repeat this step with the rest of the biscuits.
Arrange the layer of biscuit or discs in the prepared bread loaf pan (horizontally) and top with ⅓ of the remaining mozzarella.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the biscuit dough, is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling between the slices. Let cool for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.

Some ovens may vary in cooking time so you might have to cook it longer. I'm guessing your's wasn't hot enough.

I tried to make this tonight and it was totally doughy inside. Now it’s all spread out on a cookie sheet, trying to be salvaged.
Jenna says
I have over 1300 recipes that I need to keep track of and this one I haven't touched since 2014 so it needs to be updated. I will get to it when I can but you can use either canned biscuits or pizza dough for this recipe. Both work. Not really sure what cinnamon roll recipe you are talking about because I have a few on this site.
Paula says
You’re talking about using biscuit dough and seasoned oil but your recipe reads pizza dough. And I couldn’t find your cinnamon roll recipe to watch
Joy says
I was just about to make a pizza tonight, plans have changed and I am going to try this.
