English Muffin Pizzas
Share
If you’re looking for a luxurious, decadent and totally time consuming recipe… this absolutely isn’t it. Keep looking. If you’re up for a fun, quick and totally easy dish then look no further. Especially in the summer months, heating up the kitchen isn’t ideal and neither is slaving away for hours on a single meal. It may happen from time to time but I try to keep that to a minimum. I like quick and easy this time of year. Some are obviously far easier and quicker than others. This makes for a perfect lunch, snack or dinner and takes only 15 minutes max including prep time!
Do english muffin pizzas remind you of your childhood? They sure do for me. I don’t think we had them a lot but it’s a memory of mine. It is and was fun for us to create our own masterpieces. These can be kept super simple as a basic cheese variety or totally dressed up to the works with your absolute favorite toppings.
I’m not opposed at all to an occasional cheater meal. You could go to the effort of making your own english muffins and someday I hope to BUT this was not the day. Whenever that day happens, I’ll share my adventure with you but for now pick up some quick ready to use products and slap these suckers together.
English Muffin Pizzas
Ingredients
- English muffins
- pizza sauce red pizza sauce, bbq, buffalo, white sauce etc.
- mozzarella cheese shredded
- favorite toppings pepperoni, bacon, veggies etc
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Use a long fork, poke it through the side of an English muffin, working your way around until you've popped it open.
- If desired, add sauce to your English muffin. Spread evenly with the back side of a spoon.
- Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Top off with your desired pizza toppings. Use more than you think you may need. It will spread out as the cheese melts. If using larger pepperoni or vegetables, cut down into thinner and smaller pieces.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are getting crispy. Cool slightly before eating.

Pingback: english muffin pizza!
This post brings back memories of my child hood! When my sister and I would get home from school, we would make these. Sometimes on English Muffins. Sometimes on Bagel Bites.
They are quick to make and so delicious. Thanks for the blast of nostalgia Rachel :)
I love to make English muffin pizzas for a fun weekend lunch for my kids. These look so good.
Oh yes we are not strangers to these in our house! Yum! You are right that it is the perfect summertime quick fix. :)
Oh my gosh. Totally brings me back! My mom used to always make these when we were younger. I’m going to have to remember this one for when my little one gets a bit older.
yep – reminds me of childhood also! :) I want to go get the ingredients and make these today… thank you for sharing!
I love English muffin pizza – the perfect sized hand held meal!
By the way….you should enter these in the Get Grillin’ appetizers event I have going on, super cool prize from Rouxbe online cooking school :)
My m om used to make these all the time for us! My kids are much too sophisticated for an english muffin, though. They want pita pizzas, haha!
I absolutely LOVE muffin pizzas! I make them often with ham and mushrooms. :D
You are brilliant! I have never thought of that!
Thanks for add on Food Buzz! I love meeting other foodies who blog and love food just as much as me
I wish I had a toaster at work so I could make these as a snack:-)
I LOVE english muffin pizzas and haven’t had them in a while. I so need to make them now. Yours look really good. :)
Oh goodness, these take me way back! These were my snack of choice all the way through college, love them!
It’s been a long time since I have eaten English muffin pizza. They make a great lunch or a after school snack.
Yum!! Oh my goodness, do those ever remind me of my childhood. And you know what? I’ve never made them for my kids! That needs to be fixed and fast. Thank you so much for the reminder :D
Oh and bbq sauce on pizza is the best. Mmmm!
Great flashback. My sisters and I made these after school when Mom wasn’t around but we used Kraft singles and for sauce we mixed a little dried oregano into ketchup … they were delicious. We even set up a stand and sold them once. Thank you.
thx for reminding me of these!
Love these. Such a fun, quick meal.
A definite flashback – but I make them often. They’re too easy not to! My daughter loves them.
I haven’t had english muffin pizzas in probably years, but we just made them for dinner a couple of weeks ago. I loved them as a kid and still love them now!
I can’t decide which method I like better: toasting them in the toaster, then adding the toppings and broiling until the cheese bubbles, or baking them just like you have described. I go back and forth.
Just added you as a friend on Food Buzz. Love your blog!
If I had a toaster oven I would totally make use of it for something like this. It might even make the process that much quicker, if that’s even possible. :)
oh these are cute :-) would be fun to make with little ones too
I haven’t made english muffin pizzas in such a long time! Thanks for the reminder. I also love how you can make these really healthy too by using whole wheat muffins and veggies as toppings.
These look great! I had totally forgotten about the wonderful little pizzas one could make with these. Thank you so much for reminding me – this will be a great solution when my daughter wants to make pizza, and mama is lacking dough from Trader Joe’s or the motivation to whip some up from scratch.
Just to echo what everyone else has already said – these totally bring me back! Growing up my dad made fabulous dinner from scratch every night so believe it or not things like tv dinners were a total treat for us. And make your own English muffin pizza night was particularly special. (My mom, who’s originally from California, would occasionally offer her version on tortillas.)
What a lovely idea. This is brilliant for the kids. We love muffins and pizza is just the top :-)
I love eating these on quick dinner days! :)
So simple, and yet, so delicious! Also, in search for ingredients, I discovered that they now make little mini pepperonis, which were a perfect touch. Thanks for reminding me of this delicious treat!
I ate these all the time as a kid! Ahhh memories! Thanks for sharing!
Great little pizza, fast and easy, what’s not to like! Great for snack as well as breakfast. Great ideas Rachel. I have grated cheese and I could use them in this.
Ma dukes use to make this ish all the time! Best thing since delivery!
I haven’t made these in forever, but we have veggies and chicken that would work nicely for toppings, so we are making them tomorrow. I was just looking for guidelines for baking. I can’t wait now.
Our English muffin pizzas were delicious with chicken, veggies, pizza sauce and a mixture of mozzarella and Asiago cheese!
So glad you enjoyed them! They’re such a fun and quick meal.
Two hints. Put a few drops of olive oil on the halves before adding the toppings. They will crisp up the bottoms. Also, if you use pepperoni, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese of the slices to soak up the grease. The taste is great too!

Thanks for the ideas :)
Made these with my daughter in 1993, when she was almost twelve years old. Will be making again this Friday night (11-8-2013) with my granddaughters for the twelve year old’s slumber/birthday party!! Brings back great memories!!
Enjoy!! :)
English muffin pizzas always remind me of mom. We didn’t a whole lot growing up and she did a great job of teaching me how to make a tasty meal when there’s not much in the fridge.
Anyway- you mentioned youve never put Alfredo on pizza. You have to try a chicken, broccoli, and Alfredo pizza. It’s delicious
So glad these brought back some fun childhood memories! Since this very old post, I have created an Alfredo pizza as well as many others. All very tasty in their own amazing ways. :)
Thank you so much! I am making dinner for my mom and I thought this would be perfect for her!
Enjoy!
I love theses! brings back memories when the kids were younger. :) Tonight is the Super Bowl and I’m going to surprise everyone with these! the only thing I do differently is that I toast them for a few seconds, so they don’t get soggy.
Can’t wait for the surprise. Thanks for putting them on!
I hope everyone enjoyed them! :)
The food was excellent again. My family has been making these for years 😃
From reading posts, everyone seem to have such wonderful childhood memories of these. I must have been deprived as a child, ha ha !!! I never heard of them, never had one and I’m in my 60’s. Well, tonight was the night for me. Excellent idea, so delicious and so easy. Thank you for posting, Rachel.
So glad you enjoyed them, Joan! They’re a fun and quick meal for all ages. :)
These turned out so good
So glad you enjoyed them!
Hi Rachel, I’ve been on the hunt for some easy new lunch ideas, so I can’t wait to make these pizzas! I like that I can make an individual serving instead of having a whole pie leftover. Thank you for sharing. :)
Enjoy!
5 stars
So glad you enjoyed them!
I used to make these for my kids for dinner when my husband was working nights. They were good then and 30 years later they are even better with the new giant size. Made them for the Grandaughters ..
So glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for sharing!
