Mini Snowman Pizzas

These easy peasy snowman pizzas are absolutely adorable, and snow delicious, too! Make and bake in twenty minutes or less. Great for holiday entertaining or just a fun night with the family.


1can (13.8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Classic Crust Pizza Crust
3/4cup alfredo sauce
1 1/2cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 baby carrots
2 black olives
1 slice purple onion
4 fresh rosemary sprigs

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Open pizza crust dough. 
  • Slice the can of dough in half, then slice each half twice more--one a little more than half of the dough (this will press into the large piece at the bottom of each snowman), and one a little more than half of what remains.
  • Press the large piece of dough until flat, and about 4 inches in diameter. 
  • Press the second piece into a second flat, until about 3 inches in diameter. 
  • Press the smallest piece of dough into a third flat round, until about 2 inches in diameter. 
  • Press each round of dough together at the seams to create a snowman shape. 
  • Repeat to create a second snowman.
  • Top with alfredo sauce and shredded mozzarella.
  • Slice a baby carrot into three buttons and use the remaining carrot to cut a triangle nose.
  • Place these on the snowmen, then add sliced olives for the eyes, and onion slices as the mouths.
  • Bake pizzas for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese begins to bubble and the edges of the crust turn light golden brown.
  • Remove pizzas, allow to cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter. 
  • Garnish with rosemary sprig scarves. Enjoy!
