This tasty dish works for dinner or appetizer. It’s your normal pizza except that the crust consists of frozen french fries. Plus, it’s gluten-free.
How to Make French Fry Pizza
You only need about 10 minutes of prep before it goes into the oven. Start with your favorite straight-cut frozen french fries. Let them thaw for a few minutes and mash gently with a fork to break them up slightly. Mix in cornstarch to coat to absorb moisture and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Next, add a layer of mozzarella cheese. Then top with pepperoni slices if desired. Lastly, bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 deg F until the cheese is bubbling.
How to Serve French Fry Pizza
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Cut into slices and use a pie server to transfer to plates (the slices can be a bit delicate). You can put out warmed pizza sauce or your favorite sauce for dipping!

Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen french fries, straight-cut
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 3/4 cup pizza sauce, or marinara sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 12 pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Remove the french fries from the freezer to thaw for 5 minutes on a plate while you get the other ingredients ready.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and set aside a pizza pan.
- Add the french fries to a medium bowl and mash them gently into pieces with your fingers or a fork. Add the cornstarch and mix until coated.
- Spread the french fry mixture onto the pizza pan, pressing the pieces together as much as possible to make a crust.
- Spoon the pizza sauce on top and spread it out into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top. Then add the pepperoni slices.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and cut into slices. Use a pie server to serve the slices (see note).
Notes
- The slices are usually fragile, so it's important to use a pie server to transfer to a plate to prevent collapse. Eat with a knife and fork!
- Make Ahead: You can cover leftovers tightly with plastic wrap and store for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave just like regular pizza.
