Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets

Once baked, remove the pizza pockets from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve them hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, or enjoy them as-is!

Serving Suggestions

These Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets are perfect for parties, kids’ lunches, or a quick weeknight dinner. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or red pepper flakes on top for added flavor.

Make-Ahead & Storage

You can make these pizza pockets ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking. They also freeze well, so you can prepare a batch and freeze them for later. Simply place the assembled pizza pockets on a baking sheet, freeze them until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you’re ready to eat, bake them straight from the freezer at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and hot throughout.

Tips

• If you’re looking for a crispier crust, brush the dough with olive oil or melted butter before baking.
• For a vegetarian version, skip the pepperoni and load up the pizza pockets with your favorite veggies like bell peppers, onions, and spinach.
• To make the pockets extra cheesy, add some ricotta or Parmesan cheese to the filling mixture.
