The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

Chewy crust, spicy sauce, meatballs and plenty of melted cheese? Ummmm…. yes, please.

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

Pizza is always a winner in our house and cheesy meatballs are definitely comfort food around here, so we threw together a super easy, super cheesy meatball pizza. Make a big batch of meatballs and freeze in portions along with this fresh pizza dough recipe so you’ll have meatball pizzas ready to go when you want them.

The Best Meatball Pizza Recipe

You can use frozen meatballs to save on time but you will have to adjust points accordingly, I prefer to make my own and I added a little pizza flare to mine.

How do you make Meatball Pizza?

1. A pizza pan is rubbed with a little bit of oil. Pizza dough is spread into the pan, poked with a fork. Then spread prepared sauce over it.

2. The topping is assembled by cooking the meatballs in a hot pan.

3. Then pizza dough is topped with the cheddar cheese, meatballs, red and green bell pepper and a generous portion of mozzarella cheese.

4. Then baked in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden and crust is cooked! Remove from the oven and cut into the wedges. ENJOY 🙂

Where is the best place to buy Pizza dough?
1. Most markets have some sort of pizza dough that they sell. You’ll probably be able to find the kind of pizza dough in the can (not my favorite), and some will offer it in a little plastic baggie (probably a better product and likely more fresh).
2. I do have a tip for the best place to buy pizza dough. Most pizza restaurants will likely be willing to sell you a ball of their pizza dough. Just ask! That’s going to be your best bet for good pizza dough!
3. You can also make your own. I have good recipe for Easy Pizza Dough.
What are the best toppings for pizza?
1. If you’re a meat lover, you’ll most likely enjoy some sort of meat lover’s pizza like this Meatball Pizza! BBQ Chicken Pizza is my another favorite.
2. And my personal choice for pizza topping is Bell Peppers, Olives and Pineapple. Chicken Chunks, Sausage are also popular pizza toppings ( but I don’t like it that much).
3. Some people like to add olives, corn, goat cheese, spinach and more. The possibilities are endless!
It’s pretty likely that everyone in your family will enjoy this Meatball Pizza. It’s a nice, quick and easy dinner for those nights that are crazy!

Bismillah let’s get started.

A Flavorful Desi Twist – Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites Recipe

You all know I love pizza, and I couldn’t go too long without experimenting different pizza toppings. (For you newbies, they happen to be one of my favorite finger food!) These days pizzas come with many desi variations like butter chicken, spicy tikka or seekh kebabs.

Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites (A Flavorful Desi Twist)

So, Today why not take the classic Italian and make them unabashedly Pakistani ?

Creativity, especially when it comes to food has absolutely no limits. There are some flavor combinations that are so brilliant —like seekh kebabs, pizza sauce, and cheese. All three of these offer undeniable flavor on their own, but when paired together, the result is nothing less than perfect. So, I changed the shape of pizza and turned it everyone’s favorite pizza ingredients into these cute little “Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites”!

The smokiness of seekh kebabs, the sharp flavor of cheddar, the cheesy goodness of Mozzarella and the zest of pizza sauce combine like they were always meant to be together. All this oh, so yummy !

These Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites make a fun and delicious way to serve everyone’s favorite pizza!

Ingredients in Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites?

To make these seekh kebab pizza bites, you’ll need pizza dough, pizza sauce, leftover seekh kebabs, onion, green bell pepper, Cheddar & Mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning.

Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites Recipe

How to make the Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites

First I line up the muffin pan with homemade pizza dough and cut it into round circles (No need to be extremely accurate with the measurements). I just wanted the pizza bites to be about the same size. Then I top it with the pizza sauce. I always keep a jar of homemade pizza sauce in my pantry to make these kinds of easy pizzas at a moment’s notice. Next is the cheese then the leftover seekh kebabs with onion and peppers then sprinkle herb seasoning and bake at 180 degree C for 10-15 minutes!

These couldn’t be more simple.

How to Freeze Seekh Kebab Pizza Bites

Once they have cooled completely, place them onto a sheet pan and allow them to flash freeze for about 30 minutes. Then, package them in freezer-safe zip top bags or containers for up to 2 weeks. To serve from frozen, just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat in the oven for about 10 minutes until heated throughout.

Extra Bounce Tip:

The fun thing is that they are completely customizable. And if you have kids around, or want to get friends involved in customizing their own, these are a great idea for a make-your-own-appetizer set up. Everyone will love tossing in their favorite toppings.

Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza Recipe

Let’s Make Pizza Night Fun!

Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

After a whole month of no blogging, no cooking and baking I’m back in the biz with this star of a recipe – “Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza!”

I was extremely busy with my mid terms exams and eid shopping, so I couldn’t get a chance to publish new posts on my blog. Exams were taking priority sadly. But from now till eid, I’ll be try to more regular (InshaAllah)!

I’m a lover of Italian food and fresh herbs and my family loves pizza in all forms. One of our favorite family meals is homemade pizza. We make regular Homemade pizza, Pan pizza, Pizza Cups, Pizza Rolls, Pizza sandwiches , Pizza Paratha and Pizza fries. One thing we love about it is that you can get really creative with toppings and today’s recipe is one of my recent (and favorite) creations –Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza.

Photo: Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza

Can you say “Delicioso?” OMG, this pizza did not disappoint! This, to me, is the perfect Italian Flavored pizza. The crust is light and crispy. The sauce is thick and tomato-y. The fresh mozzarella is mild and cheesy. The basil leaves are bright and fresh and the herb aroma is amazing. When I bit in and my mouth filled with saucy, cheesy, herby goodness I’m pretty sure I had a pizzagasm. The cheese melted perfectly into the crust , the flavors being even more dramatic where it had browned into that crunchy, cheesy topping.

Photo: Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza

I love eating food where in each bite you get something a little bit different, it makes it all the more interesting and enjoyable to eat and this pizza definitely delivers that… I like the basil leaves to be baked along with the pizza, but you can sprinkle them on top after baking if you prefer them uncooked. This recipe can be done with little effort, but it has a big impact on your taste buds and entire dinner experience.

Photo: Italian Herb Crusted Cheese Pizza

For this pizza I decided to use the pre-made homemade pizza dough, but feel free to make your own from scratch. It’s very straightforward to make and if you don’t fancy making your own pizza base then you could simply add the toppings to a store bought pizza crust. I always brush my pizza dough with olive oil and herb seasoning to make it even more delicious!
While my pizza dough was rising in the pan, I prepared the pizza toppings. The pizza crust bakes for about 10-15 minutes in a 200 degree oven (or until crispy and light brown and cheese is melted). The secret to a good Sicilian crust is a nice coating of olive oil on the pan. That helps crisp up the bottom of the crust. A very hot oven is also crucial. The hard part is waiting for this oh so delicious pizza! The wait is definitely worth it, because you are rewarded with an amazingly delicious pizza.

Give pizza night a new twist by making spicy Chapli Kebab Pizza (Heavenly Double TREAT)!!

Monday nights are for creativity. Or maybe, you’re like me and just have leftover Chapli Kebab’s wasting away in your fridge. Pinterest gave me the inspiration I needed to take dinner from a boring pizza night to an Italian-Pakistani Twist.

This Chapli Kebab Pizza is my Pakistanized pizza makeover…..you could say that this is an Pakistani-Italian delight….hey, fusion food is the latest fad. A delicious and easy to make pizza with crispy, juicy chapli kebab’s and melty mozzarella cheese! It is sure to be a hit!

Chapli Kebab Pizza

This pizza is so easy to make with left over Chapli Kebab’s with the cheesy topping….nobody could resist. I added dried Italian herbs to the pizza base and that gave a subtle Italian flavor with the Pakistani flavored topping. And just followed my heart to a logical conclusion. I took the shortcut and used the Chili Garlic sauce in place of pizza sauce and lessen cheese to keep it healthy and low fat( you can add more cheese). Well… I needn’t explain what the result was. The recipe finding its place in this blog itself says it all….. Right???

So why go to pizza hut…when you can make healthy homemade ones?? This pizza was a huge hit with my family try it…you will love me more, honestly 🙂

Lip Smacking Cheesy Chicken Cups Recipe
An EASY comfort food recipe with just few ingredients and ready in 30 minutes!! Lip Smacking Cheesy Chicken Cups with a cheesy filling are sure to be a family favorite. Great for breakfast, dinner, snacks, a party appetizer or anything in between!!

Cheesy Chicken Cups

Cheesy Chicken Cups

I had some extra chicken cooked and was looking to use it in a super fast and easy recipe. Since I also had few slider buns in my fridge, this fit the bill perfectly. I love the idea of the Slider cups (I can’t wait to get creative and try other things with that concept) and the filling was ooey-gooey, warm and cheesy. This is a very quick and simple way to get that comfort food taste/feeling.

Here is my first try. I was thrilled they turned out just right. They look so Lip smacking and appetizing (thus the name Lip Smacking Cheesy Chicken Cups). These are just as beautiful as they are delicious. My taste buds are going crazy, and I cannot wait for the next course in this meal.
For a change of pace from your average dinner, this Cheesy Chicken Cups fits the bill! Unusual as it may be, once you take a bit, you will be reminded of some of your favorite chicken recipes. This is cheesy, flavorful, and will be loved by the whole family. Try making it tonight!

Cheesy Chicken Cups yes! Please give me one moment. All righty – I’m good now. I had to take a break to stare at these little beauties.

Extra Cheesiness Alert

Alright, lets move to the cheesiness of this recipe.

Cheesy chicken filling, extra cheese on top and pepper flakes all stuffed up in a crispy slider bun shell. Slider Buns are great for so many appetizers. I used regular sized muffin tins, so I used bun half per cup, overlapping the corners so that all the edges are covered. This whole recipe is sure to leave you stuffed and satisfied!

Cheesy Chicken Cups Recipe

What I Love About The Cheesy Chicken Cups?

What I love about these Cheesy Chicken Cups – they are SO SIMPLE. Seriously, simple ingredients, and half an hour are all it takes to make these Lip Smacking Cheesy Chicken Cups! They are very good and easy to make, filled with a delicious cheesy chicken filling that everyone will love. We normally have all these items on hand.
