How to make this garlic bread pizza recipe
This recipe relies on frozen Texas Toast garlic bread for a flavorful, buttery, garlicky crust without extra effort. The garlic-butter coating on the toast becomes a savory base for the pizza toppings, giving these easy pizzas great taste and texture.
Follow these simple steps for great results:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). If you prefer to make a smaller batch, a toaster oven works well and saves energy.
- Arrange the garlic bread slices on a baking sheet. For easy cleanup, line the pan with parchment paper.
- Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each slice and spread evenly.
- Top each slice with shredded mozzarella and pepperoni (or your favorite toppings).
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bottom of the toast is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool briefly before serving. Enjoy warm.
These pizzas make a filling after-school snack or a fast family lunch. They’re also great for game day appetizers or a casual dinner.
Serve with a side of marinara or ranch for dipping. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan and a few fresh basil leaves after baking add a finishing touch.

Frequently asked questions
You can add nearly any pizza topping you like. Popular choices include bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, sausage, olives, fresh basil, or pineapple. Adjust quantities so the toast doesn’t become soggy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1–2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven to help restore crispness; microwaving will warm them quickly but may make the toast soft.
