What Are Waffle Pizzas?
A waffle pizza is exactly what it sounds like—a pizza made in a waffle iron!
Biscuit dough is used as the crust and are topped with sauce, cheese, and any additional toppings or fillings that you desire.
Using a Waffle Iron to Make Waffle Pizzas
The key to making waffle pizzas is using a waffle iron. Most people think of waffle irons as a tool for making breakfast waffles, but they can be used for so much more!
Endless Toppings and Fillings
One of the best things about waffle pizzas is that the topping options are endless. You can use any toppings that you would normally put on a traditional pizza, or you can get creative and come up with your own unique combinations. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Margherita: If you're looking for something a little lighter, try a margherita waffle pizza. Stuff your waffle with fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil. Dip in tomato sauce.
- BBQ Chicken: For a sweeter, tangier pizza, try a BBQ chicken waffle pizza. Stuff your waffle with shredded chicken, red onion, and cheddar cheese. Dip in BBQ sauce.
- Veggie: If you're a vegetarian, you can still enjoy waffle pizzas. Stuff your waffle with diced mushrooms, diced bell peppers, diced olives, and your favorite cheese. Dip in tomato sauce.
- Hawaiian: This pizza is sure to be a hit with pineapple lovers. I love it! Stuff your waffle with ham, pineapple chunks, and mozzarella cheese. Dip in tomato sauce!
Wouldn't Sauce Make A Mess?
The idea of loading up a waffle pizza with sauce & throwing it in the waffle iron sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, which is why I leave the sauce out until the end.
I like to dip my waffle pizzas in my choice of marinara sauce to save myself the mess!

Instructions To Make Waffle Pizzas
This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to make these delicious waffle pizzas. The recipe is super simple, and you can whip it up in no time!
Heat your waffle iron to the highest setting. Open the can of biscuits & flatten out each round of dough.
Set aside 4 of the 8 dough rounds & sprinkle cheese on them.
Add your desired "toppings". In this recipe I use pepperoni. Top it off with more cheese.
Take the dough rounds that you set aside & using your fingers or a fork crimp them to the other rounds making little pizza pockets.
Depending on the size of your waffle iron, place 1-2 of the pizza pockets in the iron & close it.
Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the dough is golden brown & cooked through.
While the waffle pizzas are cooking, melt your butter in the microwave with the garlic powder.
Once you remove your waffle pizzas from the waffle iron, brush the butter mixture on top.Serve immediately with marinara sauce & enjoy!
Serving Tips
There are a few ways to enjoy these delicious waffle pizzas, but I'm gonna share my favorite way with you.
Using a knife or a pizza cutter, simply cut the waffles into 4 triangles. This makes it so much easier to dip the waffle pizzas in the marinara sauce.
