This mug pizza recipe has become a favorite over the summer! I can’t wait to try it in a cold lunch! Thanks for the yummy recipe!
Joel says
When I see “store-bought pizza dough,” I generally think of raw dough, refrigerated or frozen. But I’m assuming this recipe calls for already-baked dough, because there is no way that raw dough will cook through in a microwaved minute!

I hope you give this a try to see how slick it works, Joel! It is raw dough, and it does cook in 1 minute. It’s a small amount of dough that goes into each mug, making is speedy fast! Thanks for asking and enjoy! 🙂

Looks delicious! Do you have to grease the mug first?
