Pizza Monkey Bread is a cheesy pull-apart bread made with buttery biscuit pieces, mozzarella, pepperoni, garlic, and Parmesan. It bakes until golden and gooey, then pulls apart into bite-sized pieces perfect for dipping in warm pizza sauce.
Pizza is always a favorite in our house, and this is a fun way to enjoy those same flavors in a completely different way. Everyone can pull off a piece, grab some pizza sauce, and dig in.

Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Cut evenly: Keep the biscuit pieces about the same size so they bake evenly.
- Grease the pan well: Coat the Bundt pan thoroughly so the monkey bread releases easily.
- Layer the cheese: Adding mozzarella between the biscuit layers gives you cheesy goodness throughout.
- Don’t pack it down: Keep the layers loose so the biscuit pieces have room to rise and bake.
- Check the center: Make sure the biscuits in the middle are fully cooked before removing from the oven.
