Bacon, Cheese, Eggs on pizza? What could be better? I’ve been making this Breakfast Pizza recipe for years, it’s one of our favorites for a weekend breakfast. It’s quick and easy and you can make it with homemade pizza dough or store-bought.
Our Favorite Breakfast Pizza
I love weekend mornings because it’s the only time I have to make my favorite breakfasts, and this Breakfast Pizza is one of them! I usually always make my own pizza dough, but store bought pizza dough works just as well. I’ve used both and they’re both equally good.
This pizza is loaded with tomatoes, lots of bacon and a sunny side up egg with the yolk still nice and runny. This is how I love my breakfast pizza but of course you can easily customize yours with your favorite toppings.
Why You’ll Love My Breakfast Piza
- Breakfast + Pizza = Win: Two favorite meals put together and suddenly you’ll love your mornings.
- Customizable Toppings: Bacon, sausage, veggies, more cheese? You’re in charge, no delivery driver required.
- Feeds a crowd: One big pan makes enough for the whole family. Perfect for breakfast, brunches, lazy weekends or a snack!
- Fast and Easy: Store bought dough makes this pizza a breeze. Top it, pop it in the oven, and breakfast is served.
For this recipe, I used my homemade pizza dough. I’ve been making my own pizza dough now for years and I’ve never looked back! This dough also freezes so well. Take it out of the freezer 6 hours before you plan on using it, and it will thaw out perfectly.
Roll the dough to a rough rectangular shape, and lay it onto an oiled cookie sheet. Use your hands to spread it out as much as you can. Now it’s time for the toppings!
You’ll notice there’s no sauce used for this pizza. I promise you won’t miss it with all that cheese and those delicious creamy egg yolks! Start with a thin drizzle of olive oil, then add your cheeses, the tomatoes, bacon, and lastly, the eggs. I created little divots in the pizza toppings to hold the eggs in one place while it bakes away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Sort of! You can prep the dough and toppings the night before, but save the eggs for baking day. No one likes rubbery, reheated eggs.
What if I don’t have pizza dough?
No problem. Use naan, pita, tortillas, or even a store-bought crust. Desperate times? An English muffin works too, mini breakfast pizzas!
Can I cook the eggs differently?
Yep! If runny yolks aren’t your thing, scramble them lightly first and scatter over the pizza. Or bake a few extra minutes for firm yolks.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely. Swap bacon/sausage for sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or peppers. Load it up, veggie breakfast pizzas are amazing.
Can I freeze breakfast pizza?
Yes, but do it without the eggs. Bake, cool, and freeze the crust with toppings. Add fresh eggs when you reheat for the best results.

Notes
- Cheese: Mozzarella is my favorite but you can also use Monterey Jack, or even a little feta would be nice.
- Protein: If you want to swap out bacon, try sausage, ham, or even leftover rotisserie chicken.
- Pizza dough: To keep this nice and quick, use store-bought pizza dough or if you’ve got a bit more time, homemade pizza dough is the way to go.
- Reheat leftover pizza in the oven at 350℉ for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat in the air fryer to keep it nice and crispy.
