Change up your pizza night with pepperoni pizza biscuit casserole. Dinner is simple with Pillsbury Grands biscuits as the base to this bubble-up casserole.

A fresh green salad would be a great side for this hearty deep-dish biscuit pizza casserole. Serve the casserole with a fresh homemade kale salad or try something new and make a broccoli cauliflower salad.
Pizza Casserole with Biscuits Ingredients
- Grands! Southern Homestyle Biscuits
- pizza sauce
- Italian seasoning
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni slices
- red pepper flakes
Any biscuits will work for Pillsbury biscuit pizza casserole: homestyle, flaky, buttermilk, etc. Whichever kind you use, be sure to cut each into 8 equal pieces so everything bakes evenly.
Mini pepperoni slices would be great with the bite-sized biscuits, but if you can’t find them at the store, regular is fine! The regular pepperoni slices are cheaper and could be sliced in half. You could also use cooked sausage or add your favorite pizza toppings like black olives, mushrooms, green peppers, or onions.
Use your favorite pizza sauce or even make your own. This recipe is so easy to alter to your tastes. Think about adding some parmesan cheese!
