Pizza Bites
Pizza Bites are great anytime of the year and are enjoyed by all. This is a easy fun recipe to also make with your kids. I serve pizza bites for play dates, family game night and when friends are over. I like that they are small serving size for adults and kids on the move.
This is a fun appetizer that satisfies the pizza craving. The fresh basil adds to the flavor profile of the pizza bite. These bites can be made with any of your favorite pizza toppings, so you can substitute the pepperoni with Italian sausage as well.
