What Is Hot Honey Pizza?

Hot honey pepperoni pizza is pepperoni pizza, plus. It’s made with Betty Crocker™ pizza crust mix (or you can make your own crust). Topped with fire-roasted tomatoes, pepperoni, spinach, mozzarella and goat cheese. It’s topped with our 1-minute hot honey, for an elevated pepperoni pizza experience!

How Do I Make Hot Honey?

It’s incredibly easy to make! Honey, apple cider vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes are microwaved for 1 minute. That’s it!

Why Do I Par Bake the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza Crust?

We’ve loaded this hot honey pizza recipe with delicious toppings. In order for the crust to get done all the way through, it gets parbaked before topping it.

Ingredients

Pizza

  • 1 pouch (6.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Pizza Crust Mix
  • Water as called for on pouch
  • 1/2 cup fire roasted crushed tomatoes (from 14.5-oz can)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
  • 16 slices pepperoni (from 6-oz package)
  • 1 1/2 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 2 oz crumbled goat cheese (from 4-oz package)

Hot Honey

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Make pizza crust as directed on pouch. Press dough into 12-inch circle on pizza pan, using floured fingers. Press dough from center to edge. Bake 10 minutes.
  • 2
    Spread tomatoes evenly over parbaked crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over tomatoes. Top with an even layer of pepperoni slices. Top with spinach and goat cheese.
  • 3
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown and cheeses are melted.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix Hot Honey ingredients. Microwave uncovered on High 1 minute; cool slightly. Serve pizza with Hot Honey.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    No draining required! Fire-roasted tomatoes are kind of like a thick pizza sauce. Simply spread them over the crust without draining them first.
  • tip 2
    To get some goat cheese in almost every bite, break it into small clumps to sprinkle over the pizza.
  • tip 3
    The hot honey ingredients need to cook together briefly, for the hotness to come through. Cook the hot honey only for 1 minute or it will become too thick to drizzle.
