Why You’ll Love This Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole

This recipe is incredibly simple to make, which makes it a go-to for busy weeknights. Using canned biscuit dough saves tons of time while still delivering that fluffy, bready goodness. It only takes a few ingredients, most of which you probably already have on hand. And who can say no to something that’s smothered in pizza sauce and blanketed with gooey mozzarella?

Plus, this is one of those dinners that kids and adults alike will devour without a second thought. Serve it straight from the baking dish and let everyone dig in. It also reheats well, making it ideal for meal prep.

What Kind of Biscuits Should I Use?

Refrigerated canned biscuit dough is the magic behind the “bubble up” texture. The biscuits puff as they bake, creating soft, slightly crisped edges that hold up perfectly against the sauce and cheese. But not all biscuits are created equal. Go for the classic-style buttermilk biscuits—avoid the flaky layers variety, as those tend to separate too much in baking. Store brands or name brands work equally well.

Ingredients for the Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole

Before diving in, let’s talk about what goes into this comforting dish. These ingredients work together to create a bubbly, savory, pizza-inspired casserole.

Canned Biscuit Dough is what gives the casserole its signature “bubble-up” texture. Cut into quarters, the dough bakes into fluffy, golden pillows.

Pizza Sauce brings the bold tomato flavor and ties everything together. Use your favorite jarred sauce or even marinara in a pinch.

Mozzarella Cheese adds that signature stretch and cheesy richness that no pizza dish can live without.

Pepperoni Slices give a savory, spiced bite to every mouthful. Feel free to add more or swap for turkey pepperoni if you like.

Italian Seasoning adds an herbaceous note and really gives the casserole that “pizzeria” flavor profile.

Olive Oil is used to lightly grease the baking dish and can also be brushed on top for added richness.

How To Make the Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole

Step 1: Prep the Biscuits

Open the can of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into four equal pieces. Set them aside while you preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2: Layer It All Up

In a large bowl, toss the biscuit pieces with half the pizza sauce and a handful of shredded mozzarella to coat. Spread this mixture evenly in the baking dish.

Step 3: Top and Bake

Pour the remaining pizza sauce over the biscuit base and sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top. Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly across the surface and dust with Italian seasoning.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden and Bubbly

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits have puffed up and are cooked through. The cheese should be melted and slightly golden.

Step 5: Let It Rest

Allow the casserole to sit for 5 minutes before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.

How to Serve and Store Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole

This casserole is best served hot and fresh out of the oven, though it’s also delicious as leftovers. It feeds about 6 people generously, making it ideal for family dinners or casual get-togethers.

To store leftovers, transfer them into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. You can reheat slices in the microwave or pop the entire dish back in the oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes to bring back that fresh-baked texture. It also freezes well for up to a month—just wrap tightly and thaw before reheating.
