Easy Tortilla Pizza (4-Ingredient Cheesy Weeknight Dinner)


  • Author: OliviaBennett

Description

When you want pizza fast — and I mean really fast — this tortilla pizza stack saves the day. No dough, no rise time, no delivery wait. Just crispy tortillas, sauce, cheese, and your favorite topping baked into a golden, melty, sliceable stack. Perfect for busy weeknights, movie nights, or anytime you want something fun and comforting with almost no prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 medium flour tortillas (soft taco size)

  • 2 cups marinara sauce (thick-style works best)

  • 1012 oz (280–340 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 6 oz (170 g) sliced pepperoni

Optional: basil, olives, peppers, mushrooms, sausage, jalapeños, parmesan


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Start first layer
    Place 1 tortilla on the sheet. Spread 2–3 tablespoons marinara, leaving a small border.

  3. Add toppings
    Sprinkle mozzarella and add a few pepperoni slices.

  4. Build the stack
    Add another tortilla on top and repeat: sauce → cheese → pepperoni. Continue until all tortillas are used.

  5. Top layer
    Finish with sauce and a generous layer of cheese and pepperoni.

  6. Bake
    Bake for 15 minutes until hot and melted.

  7. Broil finish (optional but recommended)
    Broil 1–3 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Watch closely.

  8. Rest & slice
    Let rest 3–4 minutes, then slice like a cake and serve.

Notes

  • Use thick marinara or simmer it briefly to reduce wateriness.

  • Shred cheese from a block for better melting.

  • Don’t overload each layer — thin layers crisp better.

  • Let it rest before slicing so the stack holds together.

  • For extra crisp edges, lightly brush the bottom tortilla with olive oil.
