FAQs
Can I make pizza chips without pepperoni?
Yes! You can omit the pepperoni or substitute it with other toppings like diced olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or cooked sausage for different flavors.
What if my pizza chips aren’t crispy?
Make sure to space the cheese piles well apart on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown at the edges. Cooling the chips on the pan helps them firm up and become crisp.
