Easy cheesy margherita french bread pizzas topped with fresh basil. These delicious little pizzas whip up in less than 20 minutes.
Sometimes life can be described as this thing called busy. That four little lettered B word that we all experience. Busy can mean work. It can mean children. It can mean helping. It can mean fixing. It can mean cooking. Usually it’s a combination of all the things we both love and hate rolled and smashed together until we need some breathing room.
Can anyone relate? This pizza gives me some breathing room. It’s my go-to lunch pizza if I want a quick pizza fix for the family. No time for dough. No problem. Pull out some good club rolls. These rolls work wonderfully if you have the time to make them. Or a single loaf of french bread.
And lunch or dinner is served in a jiffy. Our family loves french bread pizza when we need a easy pizza. If you’ve never tried it before you simply must!
The beauty of this recipe is that the kids can make it themselves too. It’s the easiest pizza recipe you’ll find. See? Sometimes I am all about simple. I don’t always have to have homemade dough! Just usually. *wink*
Til we meet and eat again,

SO simple Melanie, but also, so on point. I love homemade crust and bread too, but sometimes there isn’t time, right?! This looks like it can be made super quick. Plus you can put some of those garden fresh tomatoes on top!! SInce it’s tomato season and all 😉
Garden tomatoes are truly the best. Thanks for stopping by!
Margherita is my favorite pizza! It’s got such clean, fresh flavors, and fresh mozzarella is the best! Great idea making pizza out of French bread. 🙂
Definitely one of my favorites too Marcie!
Perfect meal for our busy weeknights! Love margherita pizza!
Agreed! Thanks for dropping by Jessica!
This is exactly what I am having for dinner but on naan bread instead of french bread! I have so many fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden and this is the perfect summer meal! Have a great week, Melanie!
Awesome! Thanks Ashley. You too!

Love this Margherita pizza! Simple meals are the best and making pizza on french bread with all those pretty garden tomatoes sounds perfect for those busy nights 🙂
