My kids are huge fans of this Easy Pizza Pretzel Recipe. I get many requests, and sometimes too often, to make these yummy afterschool snacks. And, you can make them in a SNAP to please the young and young at heart! If you are unsure of what to make for dinner when everyone is on the go, this simple dish will be a winner. Who doesn’t like pizza and fresh, soft, warm pretzels? Well, I have combined the two best snacks to be enjoyed by any pizza lover!
Pizza Pretzels, like the ones at the mall that are covered with melted cheese and pepperoni, with lots of mozzarella cheese and dipped in pizza sauce. So, one day I had this brilliant idea to whip up my kids favorite mall treat at home, in the form of a Pizza on a Pretzel!

You can purchase the pretzels straight from the frozen snack section at your grocery store. Or, you can purchase the already made pizza dough at your grocer as well. This is one of those “shortcut” snacks because who has time to bake fresh pretzels anyway? Plus, this is a super easy meal to just make one or two at a time.
The pretzels are brushed with melted butter and then baked according to the recommendations on the box. I actually bake them about a minute or two under the recommend time. This allows additional time to put them under the broiler to get those crispy, golden brown cheesy bubbles that leave you craving for more.
Everyone loves this recipe so much, you will be the hit of the party, every time! You can also add any combination of toppings and see which you like best or to anyone’s liking. You can also break apart a couple of pretzels into chunks and place them in the holes to keep the cheese and toppings from falling thru the holes.
