Print Recipe

Macaroni and Cheese Pizza combines two comfort food classics—crispy pizza crust topped with creamy mac and cheese and extra melted cheese. Gooey, golden, and fun, it’s the ultimate indulgent dinner or party recipe.

Ingredients

  • Pizza Dough: 1 pound (store-bought or homemade)
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Elbow Macaroni: 2 cups (uncooked)
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons
  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 tablespoons
  • Milk: 2 cups
  • Cheddar Cheese: 2 cups (shredded)
  • Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup (shredded)
  • Salt & Pepper: to taste
  • Extra Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup (for topping)
  • Parmesan Cheese: ¼ cup (grated)
  • Optional Toppings: Cooked bacon bits, jalapeños, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, preheat it inside the oven.
  2. Make the Macaroni: Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour, and cook 1 minute. Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened. Add cheddar and mozzarella, stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with pasta.
  4. Prepare the Crust: Roll out dough and place on a baking sheet or stone. Brush lightly with olive oil. Pre-bake 5 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Pizza: Spread mac and cheese evenly over crust. Sprinkle with extra mozzarella and Parmesan.
  6. Cook to Perfection: Bake 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  7. Finishing Touches: Add optional toppings like bacon or jalapeños.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice hot and enjoy gooey comfort food at its best.

Notes

  • Use leftover mac and cheese for a faster version.
  • Don’t overload with pasta—keep topping even for balance.
  • Bake on a pizza stone for the crispiest crust.
  • Add breadcrumbs before baking for a crunchy topping.
