Breakfast Pizza is the easiest brunch recipe that’s ready in just 20 minutes! Pizza crust is topped with tomato sauce, cheese, bacon and eggs before it’s tossed in the oven and baked to perfection. I can always count on this pizza to please a crowd!
This easy recipe combines my two loves – pizza and breakfast! My kids are just as obsessed with this breakfast pizza recipe as I am, so it’s become a Saturday morning staple in my home.
Pizza dough (I use the store-bought option so it’s quick) is piled high with all of the best breakfast goodies like bacon and eggs, and it’s all married up with classic pizza ingredients like mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce. My family might like this easy breakfast pizza recipe even more than pancakes, which is really saying something!
What’s in this breakfast pizza recipe?
I usually have everything I need to make brunch pizza already in my kitchen! Here’s a quick look at what makes this budget-friendly recipe so good:
- Mozzarella Cheese: If you can, it’s best to shred your own cheese. It melts much better and has a stronger flavor. Pre-shredded does work well, but you might be surprised about the difference shredding your own can make!
- Bacon: Any kind of bacon works great. I usually use traditional pork bacon, but turkey bacon also works just fine.
- Tomato Sauce: Pizza sauce also gets the job done.
What kind of pizza dough do you need?
The crust of this pizza is totally up to you! Any type will work, including:
- Pre-baked pizza crust
- Pre-made refrigerated pizza dough (this is what I usually grab from the store for this recipe)
- Homemade pizza dough
- Cauliflower pizza crust
- Gluten-free pizza dough

How to Store and Reheat
Store any leftover breakfast pizza you may have in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. I recommend reheating it in the oven or air fryer to maintain the best consistency. Just note that the texture of the eggs will change a little bit when reheated!
How to Freeze
Let the breakfast pizza fully cool to room temperature prior to freezing in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
I should also note that this pizza is truly best when served fresh. While it is possible to freeze, the eggs will have a much different texture once frozen, thawed and reheated.
Notes and Tips
- If you don’t have a pizza stone or pizza pan, you can cook the pizza on a preheated baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Remember, this pizza isn’t just for breakfast. It’s a great addition to your family pizza night! My kids will often request it as a breakfast for dinner option.
