    About the recipe

    Pizza with puff pastry or puff pastry tart is one of the best light and delicious savory recipes that I created using puff pastry sheets. Puff pastry dough is used to make this pizza instead of regular pizza dough. Add any toppings and cheese of your choice with pizza or marinara sauce.

    Puff pastry can easily make desserts, snacks, appetizers, and a light meal. Thaw-fill and bake is all you have to do. You only need to worry about how to handle compliments once you bake and serve these treats.

    This pizza with puff pastry will be a crowd-pleaser on game day, spring, summer, Thanksgiving, or Christmas holidays.

    Ingredients

    This pizza with puff pastry sheets or savory puff pastry tart is highly customizable. I have used the veggies available in my pantry to make this pizza with your favorite toppings. You will need
    Puff pastry sheet: I prefer and use Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry sheets available in the frozen section of your grocery store, Make sure you thaw them according to package instructions. Remember, it should be thawed completely but still cold.

    Egg: Only for egg wash, and it creates a beautiful golden color. For the vegetarian or vegan version, use milk or cream.

    Pizza sauce: Use your favorite pizza sauce. Homemade or store-bought.

    Cheese: Mozzarella, provolone cheddar, or a combination of cheese can be used.

    Toppings: Use any traditional pizza toppings from mushrooms, onion, colored bell peppers, bacon, pepperoni, or olives with herbs like basil, parsley, cilantro, etc.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Step-by-step instructions

    Follow the instruction on the pastry sheets box to thaw the sheets. 

    Prepare the toppings

    puff pastry pizza toppings ready.
    • Feel free to use any toppings of your choice. Slice them to the desired size.
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan. Add chopped garlic cloves and saute for a few seconds.
    • Now add the chopped mushrooms pinch of salt if desired, and continue sauteing for 3 to 4 minutes till the mushrooms are cooked.
    Roll puff pastry sheet.
    • Roll the Puff Pastry sheets using a rolling pin until they are about an inch longer on both sides.

    Bake puff pastry pizza or puff pastry tarts.

    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    • Transfer this to a silicone mat or baking tray lined with parchment paper. 
    • Prick the pastry with a fork gently to prevent it from puffing up while baking.
    Spread pizza sauce.

    • In a small bowl, crack an egg, add 1 tablespoon of water, and beat well. Apply egg wash along the edges of the pastry, as this will give it a beautiful golden brown color upon baking. Use olive oil or milk for a vegetarian version.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I substitute puff pastry for pizza dough?

    Absolutely yes. If you are looking for a quick and easy pizza for dinner in 30 minutes, then pizza with a puff pastry sheet is the best option. You don't have to worry about kneading, proofing, or shaping the dough.

    How do you fix soggy puff pastry?

    If the puff pastry sheet you are working on gets too soft, then I recommend you keep it back in the fridge for 20 minutes to avoid it from turning soggy. You can also blind-bake the pizza crust first for 10 minutes, then add the sauce, cheese, and toppings and continue to bake for another 10 minutes. This way, your pizza will remain crispy and flaky and never turn soggy.

    What is the difference between pizza dough and puff pastry?

    We use puff pastry to make pizza, but both are not the same. Pizza dough is bready, while puff pastry is crispy and flaky. Pizza dough needs yeast, while pastry dough needs a lot of butter. If you like thin-crust pizza, then pizza with puff pastry will be your new favorite.

    Can I freeze puff pastry pizza?

    Puff pizza or tart tastes the best when served fresh. We don't recommend freezing it once it is thawed and baked.

    How to store leftover pizza?

    Leftover pizza can be kept in the refrigerator for two days. Reheat before serving.
