If you’re anything like me, you crave pizza at the most random times—late at night, mid-afternoon, or even when you’re supposed to be making something healthier. But what if you could have all the cheesy, savory pizza flavor without kneading dough, waiting for it to rise, or even ordering delivery? That’s exactly why I adore these 2 Ingredient Pizza Chips. They’re ridiculously easy, take just minutes to make, and scratch that pizza itch instantly.
The first time I made these, I couldn’t believe how simple they were. I was cleaning out the fridge and spotted leftover pepperoni and cheese. Instead of making a full pizza, I layered them together and baked until crispy. The result? A perfectly crunchy, cheesy chip that tastes like pizza in bite-sized form. I served them with marinara for dipping, and they were gone in seconds.
These are the kind of snacks you’ll want to whip up for game nights, movie marathons, or whenever you need something low-carb but still indulgent. They’re also naturally gluten-free and keto-friendly, which makes them a great choice for anyone watching their carb intake. And the best part? You probably have the two ingredients sitting in your fridge right now.
So let’s dive in—you’re about to discover your new favorite snack hack.

Ingredient Notes & Details
-
Pepperoni: Go for thinly sliced pepperoni. Regular or turkey pepperoni both work. If your slices are on the smaller side, you can overlap them slightly.
-
Cheese: Shredded mozzarella works best for that gooey, stretchy pizza vibe. However, cheddar or an Italian blend adds a sharper flavor. Always shred fresh cheese if you can—it melts more evenly.
Tip: Pat the pepperoni slices with a paper towel before baking to remove excess oil. This keeps your chips crisp instead of greasy.

Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Layer the pepperoni: Place slices of pepperoni on the sheet, leaving space between each one. They’ll shrink slightly as they bake.
-
Top with cheese: Add a small mound (about 1 teaspoon) of shredded mozzarella on top of each slice. Don’t overload—too much cheese will spread into a puddle.
-
Bake until crispy: Pop into the oven for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
-
Cool before serving: Let the pizza chips sit for 2–3 minutes after baking. This helps them firm up into crunchy bites.
-
Serve & enjoy: Dip them into marinara, ranch, or even spicy garlic sauce.
FAQ
Can I use a different meat instead of pepperoni?
Yes! Try salami, turkey pepperoni, or even thin slices of ham. Just make sure they’re sturdy enough to hold the cheese.
Do I need to flip the chips while baking?
Nope—just let the oven do the work. They crisp up perfectly on their own.
Can I make these in the air fryer?
Absolutely! Cook at 375°F for about 5–6 minutes. Keep an eye on them since air fryers vary.
Do these taste like real pizza?
They have the same savory flavor combo of cheese + pepperoni, especially when dipped in marinara, but they’re crispier—like pizza-flavored chips.
Can I make them ahead of time?
They taste best fresh, but you can store leftovers and reheat. See storage tips below.
Are these keto-friendly?
Yes! With just cheese and pepperoni, they’re naturally low in carbs.
Storage Tips
-
Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day. They’ll soften slightly.
-
Fridge: Keep in a sealed container for 3–4 days. Re-crisp in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes.
-
Freezer: Not recommended—they lose their crunch.
Variations
-
Spicy kick: Sprinkle crushed red pepper or add jalapeño slices on top before baking.
-
Pizza supreme: Add tiny diced bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms under the cheese.
-
Cheese lover’s: Try Parmesan, provolone, or a four-cheese Italian blend for more flavor.
-
Herby twist: Dust with Italian seasoning or garlic powder before baking.
-
Dip duo: Serve with marinara, ranch, or buffalo sauce for variety.
