The Super Bowl is the perfect excuse to gather with friends, enjoy good food and cheer on your favorite team. If you’re looking for an easy and nostalgic appetizer to serve during the big game, these Super Bowl Party Pizzas are just the thing!
I was introduced to this recipe when I met Dianne Lindbom from Kewanee at a Christmas brunch. As we chatted, she and our host, Linda, pulled out their favorite cookbook and pointed to two standout recipes. This was one of them, and after making it myself, I can see why!
These little pizzas have a bit of a retro feel. I remember snacking on something similar at gatherings when I was a kid in the 1980s. There’s something special about rediscovering an old favorite, and this recipe is a delicious blast from the past.
The key to these pizzas is cocktail rye bread. Pepperidge Farm once made a party-sized rye that was perfect for these, but it’s now discontinued. Fortunately, S. Rosen’s Party Cocktail Rye Bread is a great alternative and can be found in select grocery stores. Some stores also bake small loaves of caraway rye, which work just as well.
If you can’t find mini rye slices, you can cut regular-sized rye bread into smaller portions or use full slices for larger pizzas.
What makes these pizzas perfect for game day? They’re hearty, flavorful, and easy to prepare. You can even make them ahead of time and freeze them, so all you have to do is pop them in the oven when guests arrive. Whether you’re hosting a big crowd or just want a fun snack for the family, these mini pizzas are sure to please.
From Dianne’s kitchen to yours—enjoy and happy Super Bowl snacking!
