This heart-shaped pizza is the perfect treat to make on Valentine’s day. All you have to do is shape your dough in the shape of a heart, and top it with pizza sauce, cheese, and heart-shaped pepperoni because why not. It is then baked to perfection and will be your next favorite meal for Valentine’s day celebrations.

Heart shaped pizza recipe

For as long as Kyle and I have been together he asked for us to make heart-shaped pizzas together, unfortunately, we never officially made heart-shaped pizzas on Valentine’s day but this year I am determined to change that. But we are taking the easy way out and using Trader joe’s pizza dough to make this heart-shaped pie together.

This allowed us to focus more on having fun and less on waiting for the dough to rise. Of course, if you want to make your own pizza dough please feel free to do so. I usually do that but didn’t want the extra hassle today. I have a few pizza dough recipes that you can use if you need a place to start.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store leftover pizza?

Store your leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can either microwave it to heat it up, pop it in the oven for a few minutes, air fry it or one of my favorite ways reheat it on the stove in a pan with the lid on to allow the cheese to get all melty.

Can I use different toppings on my pizzas?

100% yes! Pizza is one of those things that you can add anything to and it’ll still be amazing! So please do add whatever toppings you prefer or just make. one-topping pizza if you only like cheese. This is such a forgiving recipe so have fun with it.

How do I cut my pepperoni into heart form without a heart cookie cutter?

If you don’t have a cookie cutter you can gently fold your pepperoni in half and cut it in a heart shape using scissors.
