I love pizza! And it doesn’t get a whole lot cuter than these colourful little mini pizzas. With minimal mozzarella and lots of fresh peppers they are much lighter than your traditional pizza. But hey, it’s still pizza and it pretty darn tasty!

  • If making the dough and pizza sauce fresh, keep in mind this will add a lot of additional time to the recipe.
THE INGREDIENTS

  • pizza sauce
  • mozzarella cheese grated
  • Dried oregano
  • Red pepper diced
  • Green pepper diced
  • Yellow pepper diced
  • Arugula leaves for garnish

Why Make Tri Bell Pepper Mini Pizzas

Why mini pizzas you ask?  For no other reason than they are just too cute.  But seriously, these would make a great party table idea.  Also great with kids.  You could even get them to do their own.  Kids love stuff like that.  Well, not mine, but I hear other kids like making stuff with their moms.  I can dream.

Everything can be made and prepped in advance

Like I said before, make the pizza dough in advance.  If you are choosing to make your own pizza sauce, do that in advance as well. The sauce making does take a bit of time.  I do large batches and preserve it.  I normally do that 3 to 4 times a year.  I should by more  canning jars, because then I might just do one huge batch and be done with it for life. Okay, that might  be a bit of a stretch but you get the idea.  Then you are good to do.

If all else fails, you could buy dough…eek.  Still, the mini pizzas are a great idea and fun to make.  Because I love vegetable based pizzas, this time I went with straight bell peppers, a hint of cheese and fresh arugula to finish it off.  They were delicious.

And the Pizza Pocket Bites are great as well.
