Homemade lunchable pizza is the perfect easy lunch for the kids to bring to school. It’s also perfect for a quick and easy lunch at home! While being much cheaper and healthier then buying the premade store-bought pizza lunchables, the kids will love them!
Homemade Lunchables Pizza
Lunchables are one of the coolest things kids can bring for lunch—well, according to my kids, that is. There is something about lunchable pizza that kids love. I’m not sure exactly what it is, but I am pretty sure it is the ability to make their own mini pizza at lunchtime. This is why my kids love these homemade pizza Lunchables!
To save money and give my kids a healthier lunch than those prepackaged Lunchables, we make our own lunchables. These Lunchables pizzas are perfect for the kids’ lunches and a fun, kid-friendly healthier lunch option.
As a Mom, I am not a fan of the cost of store-bought Pizza Lunchables. They are rather expensive for what you get, and I have found that I can make homemade Lunchables pizzas for much less. If you have never made your own, it is so easy to do so!
This Homemade Pizza lunchable recipe is a school lunch that my kids love, and I love them because I know what’s in the meals I pack for my kids’ lunches.
My kids forever thought that I was a mean mom because I wouldn’t buy them the lunchables at the grocery store and send them to school as their lunch. But since it is super easy to make your own pizza lunchables the kids can have them for lunch at school and as a Mom I know what is in them.
School Lunch Pizza
Making your own homemade Lunchable pizzas is also a better option than buying store-bought Lunchables because you can change up the toppings to whatever your kid loves. Mine like to change the toppings when we make them. This means that if you have a kiddo who loves pizza, they could have pizza every day for lunch and still not have the same thing!
Some of our favorite toppings for homemade pizza Lunchables are:
- Pepperoni
- Black Olives
- Green bell peppers
- Ham and pineapple
- cooked chicken
- spinach
- bacon
Pizza Lunchables Sides
My kids always like to have more than just pizza in their lunch boxes. I try to change up the sides that I put in the lunch box whenever they pack lunch so it is not the same thing over and over again. Here are a few lunchbox sides to add to your kids’ lunch.
- Easy Fruit Salad
- yogurt
- yogurt parfaits
- fruit
- string cheese
- side salad
- Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins
- Watermelon Fruit Salad
- Mini Blueberry muffins
Best Sauce for Lunchables Pizza
You can use jarred sauce when making this school lunch pizza recipe; however, I find that homemade pizza sauce tastes much better. My kids agree, and they prefer the homemade sauce to any of the jarred ones I have used.
How to Pack Pizza Lunchables
I have found the best way to make your own homemade pizza lunchables is using a bento box or meal prep containers. There are many different bento boxes, however this is the one we have.
You must also pack a plastic spoon to make it easy for the kids to spread their pizza sauce. Do your self a favor and grab the box of 100 plastic spoons, it is so much easier then worrying about if the kids accidentally throw them away at school.
Lunchables Pizza Recipe Ingredients
- Pizza sauce. You can use any tomato sauce, pizza sauce or pasta sauce.
- Pizza crust. We normally use bread thins, however you can also make some Easy Homemade Pizza Dough and bake it into small circles that will fit in the lunch box. You can also use naan bread, pita bread, flatbread or english muffins as the crust.
- Shredded Cheese. I like using mozzarella cheese, but you can change things up and use other cheese including cheddar or monteray jack.
- Pizza toppings. You can put any of your kids favorite pizza toppings in so they can have what they enjoy.
How to Make Homemade Pizza Lunchables
Making this easy kid’s packed lunch is simple. Get your ingredients together and put them in a lunchbox container. Be sure to also pack a spoon or a plastic knife so the kids can spread the pizza sauce on the pizza crust.
Put the pizza crust in one section of the food prep container. Place the shredded cheese and toppings in another.
Place the pizza sauce in a separate small container with a lid if your lunch container doesn’t have separate spots to keep the ingredients apart, so it doesn’t make a mess while being put in the lunch box.
Then, when the kids eat lunch at school, they can put together their lunchable pizza!
Have the kids spread the pizza sauce on the pizza crust, place the shredded cheese and the pizza toppings on top and enjoy.

This has given me a few ideas to work with for my grandsons school lunches. He’s not happy about having to take his lunch as it is because he said nobody else does & he will forget to bring it home but he has kidney problems and has to have a very low sodium diet so almost any already prepared food is out. He is also one of the most luckiest eaters so I’m going to try a few things and adjust it to lowest sodium possible. Thank you

Well, I hope these will give him a smile when he opens his lunch.
