Cut your pizza in half, give half to a friend! Best-friends forever pizza slices?

Half of a heart-shaped grain-free pizza is being dipped into a small dish of red marinara sauce.

Rows of mini, heart-shaped pizzas are shown in an overhead view. All pizzas have a combination of pepperoni, warm bubbly cheese, and spinach. There's two dips in small containers, one is orange and the other is red. There's a pizza wheel off to the side.

Hey hey hey recipe lovers!


I love a good theme. So I was looking through my stockpile of completed recipes and when I saw my grain-free pizzas a light bulb went off! What if I made these in cute valentine's hearts for Valentine's Day this weekend?! Self-high five, and off I went.


The "dough" for these paleo pizza crusts is more of a batter, with the consistency of thick pancake batter. You simply smooth it out on a parchment paper, into whatever shape you want, and bake in a 450F oven for 6 minutes. Then you can decorate as you please, and bake under the broiler for a few more minutes until toppings are melted and golden to your liking.


The batter doesn't rise, nor does it spread out. You're creating mini pizza crusts to be used immediately or, you can even freeze them to decorate later! You can also make one big pizza crust if you'd like! I always like making mini pizzas, because everyone can customize!


Speaking of customizing pizza, the consistency of these pizza crusts reminded me of a stand out school lunch of my childhood: the Lunchable! Ooooohhhh baby, you had yourself one of those in elementary school and everyone would be green with envy. However, in retrospect, not the best of ingredients there! So I thought these would be a great idea, check it out:



A planetbox brand lunch box is shown, a stainless stell lunch box with various sized compartments to hold different lunch items. The box is filled with marinara sauce in a small dish with a small spoon, pepperoni, spinach, shredded cheese, and some cucumbers. A heart-shaped pizza is being held up above the lunch box, and it is decorated with the marinara sauce, shredded cheese, a piece of spinach, and a piece of pepperoni

An overhead view of a planetbox brand lunch box is shown, the various compartments are filled with the makings of pizzas using heart-shaped, grain-free pizza crusts. There's toppings in the other compartments: shredded cheese, pepperoni slices, a small dish of marinara sauce with a spreading spoon, cucumber slices, spinach, and a small cookie in the middle

I mean so friggen cute, right? I don't know how jazzed my kids would be about this, as they have no concept of what a lunchable even is. I don't know if they make them like they used to anymore? But, it's worth a try and so fun to decorate a little pizza at school. The crusts are perfectly cooked through for a lunch box, no additional baking is needed. If you're at home and cooking additional toppings on top, the additional bake time only makes things crispier for you!


What are your V-Day plans this year? Are you going to make it a bit more special than typical years? I think we are. There's so little to look forward to these days, so I try to capitalize on any opportunity to celebrate! Let me know in the comments what your traditions are! I hope these pizzas make the cut for your family this year!
