Do you remember when you were young and ate those awesome little microwave pizzas? Sure, they weren’t as good as a homemade (or even delivery), but they were quick and tasty. This microwave recipe strikes the same balance between awesome and quick. Here’s how to make a microwave mug pizza.
How To Make Pizza In A Mug
You’ll be pleased to learn that you should have pretty much everything you need already in your kitchen to make a mug pizza.
The dough is, of course, the foundation. It’s made of flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder, milk, and olive oil. If you don’t have any of those things handy, they’ll have them at your local grocery store and they’re all cheap.

Everything else you need is what you’d expect for any pizza. You can add a marinara (or any red sauce that you like) to cover the dough. Then sprinkle with cheese and some toppings and you’re good to go. There is no definitive “best-tasting pizza” topping combination; you can go wild and there’s nothing that you would normally put on a pizza that won’t work with this recipe.
Getting The Dough Together
For one mug pizza, you’re going to need half a cup of all-purpose flour, a quarter of a teaspoon of baking powder and another of baking soda, 1/4 cup plus 2 extra tablespoonfuls of milk, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
It doesn’t get easier to make dough than this for any recipe, either. Chuck every ingredient into the mug, then stir to mix the ingredients together. As a doughy texture begins to appear, use your fingers to flatten it out so that it forms an even layer in the mug.
Don’t worry too much about making any of this perfect. You’re going to eat this pizza straight from the mug, so nobody will know if it’s a little uneven on the surface and it won’t change the taste in any way.
Once you’ve got your dough ready, it’s time to get this little pizza ready for cooking. If you’re using sauce, spread it the top and don’t be stingy with it. Then add your toppings. We recommend a traditional mozzarella cheese as your cheese, but you can pick anything that melts, of course.
Add some meat and veggies as you prefer and be as generous as you like. Once you’re done with toppings, it’s time to cook!
Cook the pizza on high power for one to two minutes in the microwave. You want the cheese to be melted and for the dough to have risen to be sure of a good mug pizza, so don’t be afraid to pop it back in for a few more seconds if it seems undercooked.
Eating the pizza probably doesn’t need instructions—but basically, use a spoon and just dive in!
