How To Make Dessert Pizza
- Prepare the dough by letting it come to room temperature. While this happens, set the oven temp and brush the cookie sheet with melted butter.
- Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or your hands to fit the cookie sheet. Brush the dough with melted butter.
- Make the topping, then sprinkle cinnamon over the dough, then top with the sugar crumble.
- Bake and let cool.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla and drizzle over the pizza.
- Slice and dig in. Pizza night never tasted so good!
Tips For Making The Best Dessert Pizza
- Spread the melted butter all the way to the edges of the dough. This will help the cinnamon sugar adhere to the surface. You can also use coconut oil or another neutral oil.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly across the brushed dough to ensure every bite is infused with its warm and aromatic flavor.
- Pay close attention to the baking time to achieve the perfect balance of crispy and golden crust. Overbaking can result in a dry and overly crunchy pizza, while underbaking may leave the dough soft and undercooked.
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before drizzling on the glaze, slicing, and serving. This gives the flavors time to marry and the crust to set.
Take Cinnamon Sugar Pizza To The Next Level
This simple dessert pizza recipe is a perfect treat that can be changed with so many different ingredients. Of course, it’s a good dessert with pizza, but there are so many other ideas too.
- Drizzle with warm chocolate or caramel sauce.
- Sliced strawberries, bananas, or tangy citrus fruits bring a burst of color and fresh flavor.
- Add a scoop of ice cream! This is one of my favorite ways to kick this simple dessert into high gear.

Fantastic! I don’t usually love cinnamon pizza but was wanting some tonight. Tried out your recipe using a pizza dough I was already making for dinner and it was SO good. If you’re looking for a great cinnamon pizza, this is the one! I was cooking my other pizza at 500 and so I cooked this was at that temperature too and it worked just fine. Loved it!
Christine
Outrageously delicious! I just happened to have pizza dough ready, (thank you NYT). Easy and perfect for the Holidays!
WOW! Thanks, Christine.

This looks so good. Do you use think and crispy or thick pizza dough?
The thickness depends on how thin you roll it out. I just used store bought dough.
Thanks, Donya

This recipe made everyone in my house happy! Quick, easy, and SO yummy. This recipe was easily adaptable for my child who has major food allergies. There’s only two pieces left and a request to make it again tomorrow.

How is the glaze made? Is the powdered sugar part of glaze or crumble?
Donya
Hey there Nichole!
Thank you so much for your interest in this recipe, I think you’re really going to like it! The powdered sugar is for the glaze, the only ingredients you’ll need for the crumble are the ones specified in step 3 of the instructions. To prepare the glaze, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl and whisk until mixture is smooth. I hope this is helpful, let me know how everything turns out!
