Whether you’re looking for a delicious appetizer, or some fun food for kids, this Pizza Monkey Bread is a great recipe! Pepperoni pull apart bread is made super easy with canned biscuits.
Even though it takes a little extra prep time to stuff each one, I think the end result is so worth it.
I loved how the inside of each bite had the perfect mix of warm marinara, melted cheese, and mini pepperoni. It really does make each bite so much fun – I brought this over to my nephews and they loved it!

I can definitely see myself making this for a summer BBQ, for some game day food, as an appetizer for a family get together, or for a kids birthday party.
Monkey bread got its name because of the way it’s eaten. It’s a finger food that you pick apart. Other names for monkey bread are bubble bread, pull-apart bread, and pluck-it cake.
Monkey bread is definitely best served fresh and warm. If you have leftovers, they’ll still taste good as long as you reheat them before serving. The easiest way to reheat a serving is in the microwave at 15-second intervals.

If you don’t have a Bundt pan, you could use a cast iron skillet, pie pan, 8 x 8 baking dish, or a muffin tin.
Cooking it in a larger dish can cause the center to cook slower than the edges, which makes it a bit denser (it will also need to bake for longer).
That’s why I’d probably opt for a muffin pan if I didn’t have a Bundt pan. Just keep an eye on it because it will cook more quickly in a muffin tin.
Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread
For the cheesy herb topping, you’ll also need melted butter, dried oregano, parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. I love serving it with a bit of extra marinara that I warm up on the stove.
Start by cutting the refrigerated biscuit dough sections in half, then flatten each piece out into a circle. Add a small dab of marinara sauce to the center of each piece of dough. (See the recipe card below for the full printable instructions.)
Add a pinch of cheese and a couple pieces of small pepperoni to the center of each piece of dough. Fold the sides of each piece of dough up and pinch it shut to create filled balls of dough.

Lightly coat the stuffed dough balls in Italian seasoning and olive oil. Layer the oiled dough balls with the remaining cheese and pepperoni in a Bundt pan. Bake until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Once the pan has cooled enough to handle it, invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate. Top with melted butter, herbs, and grated parmesan. See the recipe card below for the full written instructions, including ingredient amounts, cooking times, and helpful tips, etc.
You can tell that monkey bread is finished baking when the top is golden brown, the inside is no longer doughy, and the internal temperature reads 200 F on an instant read thermometer.

If you prefer a garlic bread vibe, melt some butter and minced garlic together, and spoon that into each ball in lieu of the marinara sauce.
Prefer a Mexican vibe? Use queso instead of marinara sauce, and ground beef cooked with taco seasoning instead of pepperoni. That would be delicious with a cheese dip on the side!
*It’s important to use freshly shredded cheese because it melts better than pre-shredded cheese does (pre-shredded cheese is coated in an anti-caking agent that stops it from melting smoothly).

**Only add a small amount of marinara to the inside of each ball, or it will leak out and make it difficult to seal the balls.
***I mixed mine with oil before I put them in the Bundt pan so I didn't have extra oil in the pan while baking. Make sure to put a little oil on the balls as you put them into the mixing bowl to keep them from sticking together.
Kids love this delicious Pizza Monkey Bread! Each bite is stuffed with pepperoni and it tastes incredible served with some warm marinara sauce on the side.

I’m Alexa. I’m the cook and photographer here. Food is my love language. Favorite things: hiking, beach days, avocados, and anything pumpkin spice. Learn more.The Super Bowl is Sunday!!! I feel like I want to say Super Bowl over and over because brands and companies aren’t allowed to use the word “Super Bowl” because of copyright laws.
But since I have my own blog here I’m allowed to say it all I want. And start sentences with “And” and “But” which is horrible grammar. So Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl. Take that.
We like to do our own version of Prop Bets for the Super Bowl. Will Donald Trump come? What song with Justin Timberlake sing first?

You can bake it ahead of time and reheat. I wouldn’t prepare the raw biscuits with the mixture and let it sit in the fridge overnight because the biscuits start to get a weird texture.
