Bring back the taste of your childhood with this easy English muffin pizza recipe—perfect for a fun and tasty cooking project with the kids!
Were English muffin pizzas a staple of your childhood, too? In my family, they were a favorite for a quick and easy meal, and my sister and I always looked forward to “helping” our mom prepare them. It’s been ages since I last thought about them, but stumbling upon a recipe recently made me wonder: were they actually as good as I remembered, or was it just a case of nostalgia? So, I decided to recreate this childhood classic and I’m happy to report, they truly are as yummy as I remembered.
The key to making the best English muffin pizzas is to toast the English muffins before you top them with sauce and cheese. This simple step keeps them from becoming soggy and undercooked, ensuring that each bite is filled with a satisfying crunch. After all, with English muffins, the magic is in the toasty nooks and crannies.

My mom used to make these when we were kids in the 80s, and I thought she had made them up! We used to have them whenever we had leftover pasta sauce, or with chili or taco meat and melted cheddar. I’m going to make them tonight! Thanks for the blast from the past, on my favourite recipe site.
Jenn, we have enjoyed these since you first posted the recipe! I have a happy memory of making a tray of these to treat grandkids who were enjoying an afternoon in the pool, to their great delight. Now I also enjoy these as a quick and easy and tasty lunch treat. Thank you for creating and sharing MANY great recipes. (BTW, my plans for tomorrow include making your yummy pesto pizza.)

These are definitely delicious 😋 thanks *
These are delicious
I made these last week for a quick Friday night dinner and they were a huge hit. I loved them because they were fast and easy. The rest of the family loved them because they were tasty!!
Even my pickiest eater said they were good. High praise from him!! LOL
I have already added them to next month’s menu and I’m going to try different toppings on them. I think next time I’m going to try putting BBQ pulled chicken on top of some of them along with some cheese and maybe red onion.
