Garlic Bread Pizzas
Frozen garlic bread slices serve as the base for these flavorful homemade pizzas, which take less than 20 minutes to make, start to finish.
On average, how much time do you spend making dinner for your family?
30 minutes? 45 minutes? Longer?
Here’s a budget-friendly recipe that allows you to put dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes. Start to finish.
This is a good one to have up your sleeve for those dinner emergencies. (We all have them!)
Money-saving tip: Scour your fridge and freezer for pizza toppings. If you have to buy toppings at the grocery store, take a trip around the grocery store salad bar. You can often find delicious ingredients like chopped bacon, blue cheese, Feta cheese, etc., for less than what it would cost to buy these ingredients individually.

The best part? Each pizza is customizable.
Each of your family members can choose their own toppings. The pickiest of palates will be satisfied!
I probably don’t need to tell you this, but these pizzas are equally good as an appetizer. These would also be good on the side of a warm bowl of chili.
Pin this recipe for future reference (Super Bowl, anyone?) Your guests will thank you for the yummy appetizer – and you will thank me for the easy recipe!
Garlic Bread Pizzas
You can use individual garlic bread pieces, like I did here. Or you can use a frozen loaf of garlic bread. If you're going with the loaf option, simply put all of the toppings on and bake for approximately 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen garlic bread slices
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
- 1 cup desired toppings (I used pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, and green peppers)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Place garlic bread slices on a large baking sheet. Top each slice with a scant tablespoon of pizza sauce, cheese, and desired toppings.
- Bake pizzas for 12 to 15 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
Yum, Yum, Yum. I love Cole Garlic Bread so much. Such a weakness. I could eat a whole loaf with spaghetti easily. Need to watch the calories though! Thanks for the idea.
I’m the same way! I haven’t had much success making my own homemade garlic bread that tastes like the frozen stuff.. Maybe I’ll do some experimenting!
