Heart-Shaped Chicken & Pepperoni Valentine’s Day Pizza Recipe

What’s the secret to making this EASY heart-shaped Valentine’s Day pizza?

Pre-made mini pizza crusts and kitchen scissors!

(Jump to the Full Printable Recipe!) 

No stretching or pulling to get sticky pizza dough into a heart shape. Ain’t no mama got time for that!

Kitchen scissors make cutting your pre-made pizza crusts into heart shapes so easy peasy. (You can try using a paring knife or rolling pizza cutter if you don’t have kitchen scissors, but it definitely won’t be as easy.)

Now, you aren’t done with those kitchen scissors yet. (I just love them!) You can also use them to cut prepared chicken tenders into little bite-sized pieces for topping your Valentine’s Day pizza.

And finally, if your little Valentines like pepperoni, use those kitchen scissors to cut some pepperoni into cute little hearts, too. (You can even fold thin pepperoni slices in half to cut out a heart shape the same way you learned to cut out hearts from paper as a kid!)

You can make these easy homemade heart pizzas as a Valentine’s Day surprise for your kids. 

Or let the kiddos make their own fun Valentine’s Day pizza!

If the kids are little, you can do the cutting for them, and they can just add the toppings.

My kids sure loved making their own special Valentine’s Day Pizza. And I was happy to make memories with them at home – and save money on delivery, too!
