Homemade Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets bake up into mini, handheld calzones with melty mozzarella, tangy pizza sauce, and pepperoni tucked inside a crisp, golden pizza crust. They’re fast, kid‑friendly, and perfect for weeknight dinners, game day, or an easy appetizer platter.
Why You’ll Love These Pizza Pockets
You’ll love these pizza pockets because they use a tube of refrigerated pizza crust, so you get flaky, golden dough without making yeast dough from scratch. The filling is classic and simple—sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni—just like other popular homemade pizza pocket recipes that are designed to be customizable with any toppings you like.
They bake hot and fast at 425°F, which helps the crust puff and brown while the cheese melts and the filling gets bubbly. They also reheat well in the oven or air fryer, making them great for make‑ahead lunches or freezer snacks according to homemade pizza pocket and calzone guides.
