Made with convenient refrigerated pizza dough, rich pizza sauce, gooey mozzarella, and your favorite toppings, these miniature pizzas are as customizable as they are delicious. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a dash of oregano give them that classic pizzeria flavor, while a quick brush of olive oil ensures a crisp, non-soggy base.

Whether you enjoy them straight from the oven or serve them as part of a game-day spread, Pizza Cuppers are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a clean surface and cut it into 12 even squares. Each square should be large enough to cover the base and sides of a muffin cup.
Press each square of dough into a muffin tin cavity, making sure it forms a cup shape to hold the toppings.
Brush the inside of each dough cup with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent sogginess.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce into each dough cup, spreading it to cover the base.
Sprinkle about 1.5 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each cup, covering the sauce evenly.
Add a few mini pepperoni slices to each cup, along with any additional toppings you'd like, such as chopped vegetables or cooked sausage.
Top each cup with a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese and a small pinch of dried oregano for added flavor.
Bake the Pizza Cuppers in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the Pizza Cuppers cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin using a butter knife or small spatula.
Serve warm and enjoy your bite-sized pizzas!
