- Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Recipe Tips
- Make sure the puff pastry is cold – Puff pastry is much easier to work with when it’s cold. So take it out of the fridge just before using.
- Use parchment paper – This will ensure you get the pizza bites off the tray easily.
- Prep ahead – You can prepare these up to about four hours before baking. Just cover them with foil and keep them in the fridge until baking time.
Substitutions and Flavour Changes
- Puff pastry – You can use Pizza Dough for these little bites.
- Pizza sauce – I used my Easy No Cook Pizza Sauce. But you can easily use store bought pizza sauce or make Homemade Marinara Sauce if you have a lot of time!
- Additions – Pepperoni, chopped peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, red onions, olives or any other of your favourite toppings. You can also add some fresh toppings like fresh basil or fresh arugula when the pizza bites come out of the oven.
Serving
These are great served hot out of the oven. But they can easily be served at room temperature. You can eat them just as they are or serve fresh Marinara Sauce on the side for dipping. Browse the Appetizers section to find for nibbles to serve with these easy bites.
