These Cheesy Garlic Bread Pizza Bombs combine the best of pizza and garlic bread in a bite-sized, pull-apart snack loaded with gooey cheese and spicy pepperoni. Perfect for parties, game nights, or family movie nights, they’re quick, easy, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 oz) tube refrigerated biscuit dough (homestyle or buttermilk)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 24 slices pepperoni (about 2 oz), quartered if desired
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce (plus more for serving)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Extra pizza sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and half the chopped parsley. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine mozzarella, provolone, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
  4. Open biscuit dough and separate into 8 pieces (or cut larger biscuits in half for 16 smaller bombs). Flatten each round into a 3-inch circle.
  5. Place a scant teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle. Top with 1-2 pepperoni slices and a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture.
  6. Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal. Roll gently to form a ball. Place seam side down on the baking sheet.
  7. Brush each bomb with garlic butter. Sprinkle tops with remaining Parmesan and a pinch of parsley.
  8. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling. Watch closely after 15 minutes.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free biscuit dough. For dairy-free, use plant-based cheese and vegan butter. Don’t overfill the bombs to prevent bursting. Brush with garlic butter before and after baking for extra flavor. Air fryer option: cook at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
