Pizza bites are awesome party food - way less messy than pizza and the perfect portion size! I decided to go with a vegetarian mediterranean filling and the topping is spicy and fragrant with a mix of parsley, garlic, dried red chili flakes and parmesan cheese.

Ingredients
- 1 batch homemade (or already prepared) pizza dough shopping list
- Filling: shopping list
- 1 cup whole milk mozzarella, shredded shopping list
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled shopping list
- 1 package frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted and chopped shopping list
- 1 package frozen spinach, well drained, chopped shopping list
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, julienned shopping list
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, chopped shopping list
- 1 teaspoon oregano shopping list
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste shopping list
- Topping: shopping list
- 1 clove of garlic, minced shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped shopping list
- 1 teaspoon red chile flakes shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggianno shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If making homemade dough, prepare pizza dough according to directions (I use Wolfgang Puck's pizza dough recipe, always).
- Combine all filling ingredients in large bowl. See Photo
- On a lightly floured board, pinch off about 25 (1-inch) balls of dough and flatten slightly, filling the middle with desired amount of filling (be careful to keep a good ratio of filling to dough as you don’t want the bites to be too doughy). Wrap dough around filling and roll into a ball, placing in pachment lined, large round pizza pan See Photo. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Combine garlic, parsley, and red chile flakes in olive oil and brush or drizzle over the pizza bites See Photo. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. See Photo
- Bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until top is nicely browned (they smell AWESOME as they are baking!).
- Notes:
- You can substitute in any type of “toppings” you want instead of the above, like pepperoni/sausage. It might be a good idea if using vegetables like onions, green peppers or mushrooms to sauté them a little before using as the filling.
