What Are Ritz Pizza Saucers?

There are endless ways to enjoy buttery Ritz crackers, but we think we’ve just discovered a new favorite—and we're calling it 'Ritz pizza saucers'. This simple snack transforms the classic crackers into loaded pizza bites with just four ingredients in five minutes.

If this looks familiar, you might be thinking of the mini pepperoni pizza cups we loved last summer. But this updated version has an even crispier, flakier texture—plus, it doesn’t require a muffin tin.

These mini pizza saucers are a hit for several reasons. They’re easy enough for kids to make. They’re customizable, so you can personalize them with your favorite pizza toppings like bacon, olives, or mushrooms. And, lastly, they’re undeniably delicious. The combination of the buttery Ritz cracker, savory pizza sauce, spicy pepperoni, and gooey melted cheese is one anybody would find hard to resist.

All-in-all, it’s a crowd-favorite combo in a format that’s fun to make and serve. Whether you’re looking for a last-minute app to set out at the party, an easy summer lunch for your little one, or simply a satisfying midnight snack, these bite-sized pizza saucers will save the day.

How to Make Ritz Pizza Saucers

Arrange a sleeve of Ritz crackers in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then top each cracker with a slice of pepperoni. Spoon a teaspoon of your favorite jarred pizza sauce onto each pepperoni slice, then top it all off with a small mound of shredded mozzarella.

Bake in a 425 degree F oven until the cheese is melted and gooey, about 5 minutes (or stick the pan under the broiler for about 45 seconds). From there, you can sprinkle on dried oregano, red pepper flakes, or Italian seasoning to finish off each bite. One reviewer shared that this works great with Triscuits, too.

So, the next time you feel that pizza craving coming on, save yourself from an impulsive online order. Just turn on the oven and pull out the Ritz from your pantry—your taste buds will be satisfied in no time.
