Pizza in one form or another is just plain fun. It’s one of those meals that brings a smile to everyone’s face and can be eaten on the go. You can certainly grab one at the store or you could make this fun Pepperoni Pizza Ring for the kids the next time they are hungry for fun.
This is a great option to a traditional pizza, and you can add as many toppings as your imagination can come up with. Our boys are pepperoni fans so we’ll often choose that but when it’s just Liz and I we’ll get a little more adventurous.
While we are always thinking of our budget and saving money by making our own sauces when possible, it won’t break the bank if you are pressed for time and would rather use ready made pizza sauce instead of making it from scratch. However I urge you to give it a try just once, you won’t believe how easy it is.
Making the Pizza Ring is very similar to the Taco Ring that everyone loves. Here are the easy steps…

I love anything pizza! I would love for you to come by and link up to my Recipe Party at The Sweet Spot!
That looks really good, and I never would have thought that it was that easy. Thanks for showing me, I will definitely be making this soon! In fact, I think I have all the ingredients to make this.
Hi Rose,
No, we didn’t have a Nutella Ring, but it sounds yummy!
Great idea! My kids would love that.
When you say 1 can of tomato paste, how many ounces is the can that you used? I have 6 oz cans at home but i know they sell 12 oz ones as well. Thanks!
Hi Lauren, just a 6 oz can is all you need. Here is our quick pizza sauce recipe.
Happy Cooking!
