English muffin pizzas are the best inexpensive, no-fuss, and nostalgic 80s meal that still hits!
English muffins make a great foundation for an easy pizza.
Remember those after-school snacks where you’d slap some sauce and cheese on a halved English muffin and pop it in the toaster oven? English muffin pizzas are making a comeback because they make for an easy, cheap dinner that’s highly customizable and delicious.
I love that English muffins can easily be frozen to always have on hand! Use different varieties of leftover cheese, sauces, meats, and veggies from the fridge for a super-easy and delicious meal or snack.
These mini pizzas are perfect when you need something quick, cheap, and satisfying. For under $10, you can feed a small crew. Just grab a pack of English muffins (around $4), a jar of pizza sauce ($2 or less), and some shredded cheese (usually $2 for a small bag). That’s your base—but the real fun starts when you raid your fridge for toppings.
Learning how to make English muffin pizzas with odds and ends is smart!
Think pepperoni slices, leftover veggies, or that half-used can of olives you’ve been ignoring. Toss them on, bake for about 15 minutes until bubbly and golden. You’ll get these personal pizzas with a crunchy, chewy base that’s way more satisfying than most frozen pizza options.

This Caprese version of English muffin pizza is just like the popular salad, except melted to perfection into the form of a tiny pizza. YUM! Try using sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar at the end.
These are so good! I’ve also made a whole pizza this way, and it’s fantastic. I think sun-dried tomatoes and olives would be yummy too. I love easy, no-fuss meals like this and hope you do too!
