Can I make pepperoni pizza crackers ahead of time?

Absolutely. Assemble the crackers and store them in an airtight container (uncooked) in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready, bake just before serving for maximum crispness.

What type of crackers work best for pizza crackers?

Ritz-style butter crackers work wonderfully due to their texture and flavor. However, any sturdy, flat cracker that can hold cheese and toppings will do. Avoid thin, flaky types that burn quickly.

Are pepperoni pizza crackers kid-friendly?

Yes! This recipe is perfect for little hands and customizable for even picky eaters. Kids love assembling their own, especially when you offer fun toppings like mini olives or pineapple chunks.

Can I make these pizza crackers in an air fryer?

Yes. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F. Cook crackers in batches for 3–5 minutes, checking often. They crisp quickly, so monitor closely to prevent burning.

What sauces go well with pepperoni pizza crackers?

Classic marinara, garlic butter, ranch, buffalo, and pesto all pair beautifully. For parties, serve with a trio of dips to let guests mix and match.

Can I freeze pepperoni pizza crackers after baking?

You can freeze them baked or unbaked. To reheat, pop frozen crackers into a 350°F oven for 6–8 minutes until warmed through and crisp again.
