Gluten-free deep dish pizza bites are super easy to make. Perfect for lunch, a quick and easy dinner, as a snack or an appetizer. The recipe also has a dairy-free option.
Gluten-Free Pizza Bites
Who does not love pizza? Seriously, I love pizza! It’s the one thing I miss the most since going gluten-free.
I’ve made gluten-free pizza crusts over the years, bought pre-made pizza crusts and bought frozen gluten-free pizza. See, I am not ready to give up on my love affair with pizza just because I’m gluten-free.
When I need to get my pizza fix and want an easy and quick recipe, I make my deep dish pizza bites. All the flavor of pizza without all of the work!
Gluten-Free Pizza Bites In A Few Easy Steps
- Preheat oven to 425° F. This gluten-free pizza dough is super easy to make. In a medium bowl beat the two eggs. Add the garlic, basil, and oregano to the eggs and stir until fully combined. Add the gluten-free Bisquick, water, and olive oil. Mix until fully combined. The dough will not be thick, it will be more like cake batter. (photo 1)
- Spray a regular sized muffin pan with cooking spray. Add ¾ of the crust batter to the muffin pans. I like to use an ice cream scoop. (photo 2)
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top of the crust batter. (photo 3)
- Spoon pizza/spaghetti sauce over the mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free cheese). (photo 4)
- Add another layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce and top with your favorite pizza topping(s) (optional). (photo 5)
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425° F. Please watch your pizza bites because all ovens are different.
- Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing from pan and enjoy! (photo 6)
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
Gluten-Free Bisquick
This recipe is super simple using one of my favorite products – gluten-free Bisquick. If you don’t have gluten-free Bisquick you can use this recipe to make your own.
Dairy-Free Pizza
These pizza bites are super easy to make dairy-free. Just use your favorite brand of dairy-free shredded cheese. The gluten-free pizza dough in this recipe is already naturally dairy-free. So you can also have gluten-free and dairy-free pizza bites.
My husband, youngest son and I are all dairy-free as well so we have tried a lot of brands of dairy-free cheese. We have used Trader Joes, Daiya, Follow Your Heart, Violife and Parmela Creamery.
The batter for the crust is easily whipped up and baked in a muffin pan. Top with your favorite pizza toppings and in a quick 12 minutes, you will have bubbly deep dish pizza bites.
These would be perfect for school lunches, a quick and easy dinner, an after-school snack or for your next party.

Jennifer says
Have you tried them in a mini muffin tin? I’d love to make mini ones for a Super Bowl app.
Audrey says
Hi Jennifer! I have not tried this recipe in a mini muffin tin. If you try it will you please let me know how it turns out? Th mini pizza bites will need to bake for a less amount of time, so please keep a watch on them.☺️
Barb McKewin says
Delicious!! And easy enough for a beginner! Thank you!!
Lorraine Amundsen says
Adult son recently dx with celiac after years of suffering. He said he enjoyed these very much as a tasty snack and they stored and reheated very well. (I just picked up your cookbook for him as a gift utilizing the Amazon Prime deal )
Ray says
I don’t understand step 6. What do you do with the other 1/4 of the batter?
Audrey says
Hi Ray! You keep filling the muffin tins up with batter and leave a 1/4-inch space at the tops. So the muffin tins are not filled up all the way. the dough needs a little space to rise. I hope you enjoy them!
Chelsea says
I made the pizza bites today for lunch. So delicious! I have a 22 month old who is high gluten sensitivity. I made them in regular muffins dish and then in the mini ones for him. They were perfect!
Kelly says
We make this all the time – my newly gluten free son was so glad to have an quick and easy pizza meal on hand. We are generous with our seasonings in the batter! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
Brittany says
In my silicone muffin pan, these do well at 400* x23 mins. Also, the second time I made them, I was out of spaghetti sauce so I used rotel tomatoes (drained) instead and the family liked them even better 😆
Bonnie says
These are amazing!!! I absolutely love your recipes. My 14 year old just got diagnosed with gluten, wheat, and milk allergies and your tasty, easy recipes have helped our transition immensely!
Denise C says
Second time making! First time I liked the flavor but too much of the muffin to my taste. Second time I halved the recipe and added fresh basil and garlic to the batter. So good.. I’m so excited I found your website .. you make gluten free taste good!
Alicia says
I homeschool 3 kids and one of them was just diagnosed with Celiac. This was a great lunch for us that they can help measure, mix, and pour. They loved them and it will definitely be in our rotation of lunches!
Audrey says
Thank you so much Alicia for the awesome 5-star recipe review, it really made my day! I am so happy that you and your kids loved the pizza bites. It really made my heart happy to hear they were able to help and you will be adding it to your lunch rotation. Thanks again!
Katie S. says
I just made these for a second time in two weeks, they are so easy, and reheat perfectly for a quick lunch or snack!
Audrey says
Thank you so much Katie for the awesoem 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the pizza bites, especially that you have made them several times. Thanks again!
Pat says
I am not sure about gluten free foods but am doing keto so thought I’d give these a try. Ohhhhh!!! They are so good, I used a silicone muffin pan and it was a larger sized muffin only made 6 but 6 of the most delishes pizza muffins. I am going to try making my own Bisquick as it is a bit costly to buy. Thank you so much for this yummy recipe. Thinking it would be good for church dinners
Audrey says
Thank you so much Pat for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the pizza bites. I have not tried them in a large sized muffin pan. I have made my own gluten-free Bisquick mix and they turned out great. These would we perfect to bring to church dinners. Thank you again!
Steve Allen says
I loved your recipe. I made up your homemade bisquick using the ATK flour blend, a white rice flour blend and the Crisco shortning. I use a small food processor to mix the flour and shortning. I followed your recipe with the exception of no tomato sauce was used, I wanted to make them into muffins. I used a silicone muffin tray on top of a cookie sheet. Nothing sticks to silicone. The underneath part touching the silicone was a bit soft. Next time I will take them out of the silicone right away. I think next time I will reduce the oil to 1/4 cup.
Audrey says
Thank you so much Steve for the wonderful 5-star recipe review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the pizza bites. That’s a great tip about using the food processor to make the homemade gluten-free Bisquick. Thank you again!
Heather says
Suggestions for baking time if I make them in mini muffin tins? Our get together has an appetizer menu so I’d like to do a bunch small. Thanks!
Audrey says
Hi Heather! I would check them at 7 minutes to see if they were done. Mini pizza bites sound so fun and a perfect appetizer. I hope you enjoy the gluten-free pizza bites.
Tricia says
Hi. I was wondering how well these would travel for school lunches. Would the crust remain a good consistency for reheating for lunches? Thanks so much.
Audrey says
Hi Tricia! The pizza bites would be perfect for school lunches. They can be eaten cold or heated up just like regular pizza. My kids love them!
Mandi says
How many does it make?
Audrey says
Hi Mandi it makes 12. Thanks!
Linda Williams says
How many little pizzas does this recipe make?
Sharon says
Very good and super easy. I agree about putting a little less Bisquick in each muffin tin and add more sauce and cheese! Will definitely make these again!
Audrey says
Thank you so much Sharon! I am glad you enjoyed them.
kaitlyn says
Hi there. for the crust, did you use the Betty Crocker Bisquick Gluten Free Pizza Crust recipe and then used that here? or just the gluten free Bisquick?
Audrey says
Hi Kaitlyn! I used the gluten-free Bisquick for this recipe. If you don’t have it, I included a link to make your own gluten-free Bisquick. I have not tried their pizza crust mix.
Pauline McRee says
Will they freeze?
Audrey says
Yes they should freeze well. I have never had a problem with anything I make with gluten-free Bisquick not freezing well.
Lori says
Do you use a mini-muffin pan or regular size muffin pan?
Audrey says
Hi Lori! It’s a regular muffin pan.
Audrey says
Hi Kira,
Sorry it’s 1/3 cup of olive oil. I fixed it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Audrey says
It’s garlic powder. Thanks for catching it. I’ll clarify and fix it.
Paula says
Thanks!
