Pizza Cones are pizza dough shaped into cone form and then baked in the oven until golden brown. Add your favorite toppings into the pizza cones and they are a really fun way to eat pizza!
This easy homemade pizza cone recipe is a family favorite – for so many reasons! Kids also love them, and the possibilities for customizing are endless!
Pizza in A Cone!
A new way to eat Pizza! These pizza cones are simply pizza ingredients wrapped in a cone made of pizza dough for easy serving. They can be served as an appetizer or as a main course. Whenever I serve these pizza cones at parties, they are always the first to disappear!
You can add other pizza ingredients into these cones such as mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers or onions… you name it. Then dip them in warm marinara sauce – oh my! Best Pizza ever!
How to Make Pizza Cones
- Make a few pieces of paper into cone shape.
- Wrap aluminum foil around paper cones.
- Lay a pizza dough flat and cut into strips.
- Wrap the strips around the foil cone.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes until the cone can hold its shape.
- Add topping ingredients into the cones.
- Return cones to the oven and bake until golden brown.
Can I Use Store Bought Dough for this Pizza Cone Recipe?
Absolutely! A packaged dough from Pillsbury works great with this recipe and it also comes together much faster. Homemade pizza dough works as well. You can even substitute with crescent roll dough.
Can I Use a Tortilla?
Yes, Tortilla Pizza Cones are easy to make. You can cut flour tortillas into halves and shape them into cone forms. Use a toothpick to fasten your cones. Then place the cones upside down on the muffin tin and brush them with oil. You only need to bake them for about 6 minutes at 400 F degrees.
Add your dinner meals to these tortilla cones, and eat them like tacos. Alternatively, you can add ice cream to make them into ice cream cones!
Topping Options
Traditional pizza toppings can be used for this recipe. I like pepperoni, mushroom, onions, pizza sauce or tomatoes. Mozzarella is my favorite cheese when it comes to pizza because it becomes extra cheesy when baked. But any flavor of cheese you like will do. This recipe is very versatile and you cannot go wrong!
Alternatively, you can also leave the cones empty and bake them. Then add cooked meal such as Mac and Cheese for a fun twist! It’s one of the perfect kid foods!
Tips for Making the Best Pizza Cones
