Texas Toast Garlic Bread Pizza - loaded with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, these addictive garlic bread pizza is a party favorite!
I am so glad that Thanksgiving is over because I am so ready to eat something different, for example these addictive Texas Toast Garlic Bread Pizza.
I already think of the best times to have these for a bite: Gameday, Netflix, pay-per-view, Red Box, Korean drama times and the list goes on.
Whatever the occasion is, you can make a bunch of these in practically 20 minutes and you will have a full tray of Texas toast/garlic bread/pizza to feast on. I love the buttery, garlicky taste, and also the pizza sauce plus the cheesy mozarella cheese, topped with mini pepperoni. Yum!
I strongly urge you to make the Texas Toast from scratch, but if you want to cheat, you can buy frozen Texas toast or garlic bread, and just spread the pizza sauce, add cheese and pepperoni. I am not against taking shortcuts in the kitchen. Enjoy!

Wow–I’d forgotten how much my own children loved home made French bread pizza when young, and these crispy toasts look wonderful. They’re also a terrific base for any of our fave pizza toppings, which, in the case of my family, were usually either pepperoni, as pictured, or sausage and mushrooms. No more kids in my house, but Hubs would love these, too. I think I will make some by toasting the bread first so it’s crispy, and using pesto instead of tomato sauce … And how about sliced onions, kalamata olives, sundried tomato, and bits of Feta cheese added to the mozzarella? This can be a really sophisticated adult treat, too.
For the poster worried about calories, this is a non-starter where growing kids are concerned. Active–the key–youngsters between 6 and 26 or so need calories! My own middle grade and teens, busy with lots of athletic stuff, were impossible to fill up and lean to the point of skinny. It’s mostly young children, inactive kids, and grownups who must be careful of making each calorie really count.
