Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Flour tortillas or pita bread (cut into chip-sized triangles)
Olive oil or melted butter
Garlic powder
Dried oregano
Shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
Mini pepperoni or chopped pepperoni
Grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Marinara or pizza sauce for dipping

Directions

I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I brush both sides of the tortilla or pita chips with olive oil or melted butter.
I sprinkle the chips with garlic powder and oregano, then top each with a bit of shredded cheese.
I add mini pepperoni pieces on top and a light sprinkle of parmesan if I want extra flavor.
I bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the chips are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
I let them cool for a couple of minutes to crisp up, then serve with warm marinara sauce.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 4 as a snack or appetizer. It takes 10 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to bake.

Variations

Sometimes I use naan or flatbread instead of tortillas, or swap the toppings—like adding sliced olives, jalapeños, or chopped bell peppers. I’ve also made a veggie version with just cheese and herbs. For a spicy twist, I drizzle them with hot honey or sprinkle with chili flakes before baking.

Storage/Reheating

Pizza chips are best fresh and hot, but I store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place them in a toaster oven or bake at 350°F for 5–6 minutes to bring back the crispiness. I don’t recommend microwaving—it makes them soggy. Pizza Chips Recipe

FAQs

Can I make these in the air fryer?

Yes! I air fry them at 375°F for about 5–6 minutes, checking halfway. They come out extra crispy.

Can I use store-bought chips?

I’ve tried this with plain pita chips or tortilla chips. It works, but I prefer starting with fresh bread so I can control the toppings and crisp level.

What kind of cheese works best?

Mozzarella is classic, but I love using a mix of mozzarella and provolone or parmesan for more flavor.

Are these kid-friendly?

Totally. Kids love the pizza flavor and can help choose toppings. I just go easy on the spices if they’re sensitive.

Can I serve this as a party appetizer?

Absolutely. I pile them on a tray with a bowl of warm marinara and they’re gone in minutes. They’re great finger food.

Conclusion

Pizza Chips are a quick, fun way to satisfy a pizza craving without the wait. I love how crispy and cheesy they are, and how easy it is to tweak the flavors to suit whatever I’m in the mood for. Whether I serve them as a snack or an appetizer, they always disappear fast.
