Pepperoni Tortilla pizza

I've been jamming on tortilla crust pizza since my college days. It's amazing what you can do with a stack of tortillas, a jar of sauce, sliced pepperoni, and a bag of mozzarella! This is, hands down, one of my favorite, 15-minute dinner solutions here at TKG HQ!

Tortilla pizza ingredients

  • extra virgin olive oil
  • flour tortilla - wheat or white
  • pizza sauce - check out my Tomato Sauce recipe
  • mozzarella cheese
  • pepperoni
  • Parmesan cheese
  • fresh parsley - or Italian seasoning

What I love about flour tortilla pizza

  • you get BIG pizza flavor in a skinny pizza
  • it's ready in 15 minutes!
  • it's a no-fail unless you burn it, so don't burn it 😉
  • pizza takeout is expensive...tortilla pepperoni pizza isn't
  • YOU control the ingredients
  • use homemade tomato sauce for the base
  • customizable for all diet restrictions
  • it's a dinner that kids (and adults) love!

The best pizza oven temperature

When it comes to tortilla crust pizza, I have found that 400°F is the best oven temperature to get the ingredients properly warmed without burning the surface or the crust. A pizza made with raw dough needs a much warmer oven temperature (450-500°F) to cook the dough.

The best tortillas for tortilla shell pizza

Use any tortillas you want! White flour tortilla pizza is always a favorite, but whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas work too! Use any size tortilla you want. This is what makes the personal pizza ... personal!

How to make tortilla pizza on the stove

Step 1. Heat a 10" skillet on med-high on the stove and spread the oil evenly in a very thin layer on the surface.

Step 2. Place tortilla in the heated skillet and brown on one side for a few minutes.

Step 3. Flip the tortilla over and add pizza sauce, cheese, and other toppings to the browned side. Allow to heat until cheese melts.

Step 4. (optional) Place the pizza 6" under a preheated broiler to brown (be careful to not burn). Carefully remove, cut into slices, and serve.

How to make tortilla pizza in the oven

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400° and spray a pizza pan with cooking spray.

Step 2: Spread PIZZA SAUCE over the surface of tortilla; top with MOZZARELLA CHEESE, PEPPERONI, PARMESAN CHEESE, and PARSLEY.

Step 3: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until desired browning occurs.

Step 4: Carefully remove pizza from the oven, transfer to a serving pan and allow to cool a few minutes; cut into slices and serve warm.

Recommended Tools

  • 10" cast iron skillet
  • spoon
  • toaster oven (optional for browning)
  • grater for cheese
  • silicone oven mitt
  • 10" pizza baking tray(s)
  • pizza wheel / cutter

    All you had to do is say pizza and I'm first in line. I really like having ways of making a quick pizza without having to start off with pizza dough. Not don't get me wrong, I love pizza dough but something like a tortilla pizza is sure a lifesaver when you're craving pizza.

    What a great idea to use tortillas as the base for this pizza! This would be much quicker than making dough on busy weeknights!
