Ingredients to cook Boomer’s Pizza Pockets
Prep Time: 20 mins | Cooking Time: 25 mins | Estimated Ingredient Costs: $15-$20
1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup marinara sauce
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup diced pepperoni (or your preferred toppings)
½ cup diced bell peppers
½ cup diced onions
1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions to cook Boomer’s Pizza Pockets
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into equal-sized rectangles.
- In a bowl, mix diced pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- On each dough rectangle, spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
- Spoon the pepperoni and veggie mixture evenly onto one half of each rectangle.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the toppings, creating a pocket. Press the edges firmly to seal.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pockets, ensuring they’re well sealed.
- Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve your irresistible pizza pockets with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips for Involving Kids in the Cooking Process

- Layer on sauce, cheese, and toppings
