31 Best Pierogi Pizza Recipes

PAGACH (PIEROGI PIZZA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the pizza crust on a large baking sheet (the size may vary depending on the brand of crust; my crust fits perfectly in a 17¼ x 15½-inch pan).
• Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until softened and lightly golden brown. Set aside ½ cup of the sautéed onions (they will be used later to top the pizza).
• When the potatoes are done cooking, drain them and return them to the hot pot. Allow them to sit for a minute or two until any excess moisture evaporates and they are no longer wet.
• Add 2½ cups of the cheese to the hot potatoes and mash until well-combined and smooth (be careful not to over-mash, as this can make the potatoes gummy). Stir in the sautéed onions (except the ones you set aside).
• Add just enough milk to help the potato mixture be a bit more easy to spread on the crust. The consistency should be tighter than mashed potatoes. ¼ cup of milk usually works for me, but add less or more as needed, being careful not to end up with loose or runny potatoes. Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Spread the potato mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until the bottom of the pizza crust is golden brown and crisp.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Spread the reserved ½ cup of sautéed onions over the top of the pizza and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup cheese.
• Place the pizza under the broiler until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown (about 5 minutes).
• Carefully remove the pizza from the pan to a wire rack. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into 12 squares. Note: If you leave the pizza in the pan, the bottom will sweat as the pizza cools, and the crust may become a bit soggy and lose it crispness.

SUNNY'S PIEROGI PIZZA

Steps:

• In a slow cooker on low, add the onions, 2 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring every hour or so, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 hours. Cook uncovered for the last hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll the dough out to fit an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet or a large round pizza pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top and pierce the dough with a fork all over to minimize bubbles. Bake the dough, checking every few minutes to ensure it doesn't burn, until lightly golden in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Leave the oven on.)
• In a medium bowl combine the Monterey Jack and Parmesan. Add half of the cheese mixture to the mashed potatoes.
• Top the dough in an even layer with the mashed potato mixture. Add the caramelized onions, bacon, chile flakes and the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with a drizzle of the yogurt and sprinkle with the chives.

PIEROGI PIZZA

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
• Combine flour and salt together in a large bowl. Pour yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil over flour. Mix and knead until a sticky dough forms, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add potatoes and cook until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk sour cream and garlic powder together in a small bowl to make pizza "sauce".
• Gently pat and stretch pizza dough out to a 12-inch circle on a pizza stone. Spread sauce evenly over dough. Layer potatoes on top to cover dough completely. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon bits on top.
• Bake pizza in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

SPICY PEROGY PIZZA

Steps:

• Thinly slice potatoes and place, over lapping, on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, dried red chilies and paprika. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 350°F.
• Spread a very thin layer of tomato sauce on crust and sprinkle with mozzarella (not as much sauce or cheese as on a regular pizza or it will overpower the potatoes) Carefully spread sour cream on top of sauce/cheese.
• Place baked potato slices on top and sprinkle with broken up bacon and then onions.
• Bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes. Take pizza out and sprinkle cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.
• Turn oven off and put pizza back in for about 5 minutes to melt the cheddar.
