Ingredients and Substitutions
- Pizza Dough – There are lots of options for pizza dough. Storebought will work just fine, but my personal favorites are my Quick and Easy Pizza Dough and my Beer Pizza Dough!
- Olive Oil – An organic cold-pressed olive oil is a great way to add a subtle, savory flavor to your crust.
- Dried Oregano – This is a great way to add some extra flavor to a simple recipe, like this mac and cheese pizza. Dried oregano is a staple sweet, savory spice that I pretty much always add to pizza.
- Garlic Powder – Garlic adds some key complexity to your pizza crust. If you don’t have garlic powder, you can thinly slice a couple cloves of fresh garlic.
- Mac and Cheese – You can use the blue box, but my One Pot Mac and Cheese only takes 20 minutes and uses all real ingredients!
- Sharp Cheddar – Sharp cheddar is aged longer than mild, so it brings a wonderfully complex flavor to pizza and mac and cheese. If you can’t find sharp cheddar, mild will work in its place.
- Mozzarella – I prefer to use a block of mozzarella (and shred it myself), but fresh mozzarella would also work on this pizza if you’ve got some on hand! Monterey Jack would be a good substitute.
- Parmesan – Parmesan completes the trio of cheeses, adding a delicious, nutty depth of flavor. You could use Romano or Asiago in its place.
- Crispy Bacon – Because how could mac and cheese pizza possibly get any better? By adding crispy bacon, of course!

Tips
- If you prefer a thin crust pizza just roll the dough out onto a large sheet pan. Keep the amount of toppings the same, though, just spread them across the thin crust so that the mac and cheese pizza doesn’t get soggy.
- Don’t want to deal with frying bacon? Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lay bacon in a single layer, and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes at 400 degrees. It’s the easiest way to make perfectly crispy bacon with minimal effort.
- Shred your own cheese for a really wonderful melt. Pre-shredded cheeses are coated with cellulose to keep them from clumping together, but that also means it doesn’t melt as well. Pre-shredded will work in a pinch for this pizza, but freshly shredded is best and it’s usually cheaper to buy a block of cheese!
