Best Way to Serve
These pizza chips shine on their own, but they can be paired with a variety of dips for added flavor.

For a crowd-pleaser, set out a platter of these chips alongside a fresh garden salad or veggie platter.
Storage Tips
To keep your 2 Ingredient Pizza Chips fresh longer, store any leftovers in an airtight container. They’re best enjoyed the day they’re made, but you can keep them in the fridge for up to two days. If you reheat them, use the oven or an air fryer to retain their crispy texture. Reheating in the microwave is not recommended as it can make them chewy.
Expert Advice
- Use freshly shredded mozzarella for the best melt and flavor.
- Make sure not to overload your cheese heaps; they need space to spread out and crisp up.
- Experiment with different shapes by shaping the cheese into stars or hearts for a fun twist, especially for kids!
Creative Twists
These pizza chips are a canvas for your culinary creativity. Try adding different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a spicy kick. For a healthier spin, swap regular pepperoni for turkey pepperoni or use diced veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms. Feeling adventurous? Sprinkle on some garlic powder, oregano, or crushed red pepper for extra flavor.
