Pizza Sliders are the perfect combination of classic pizza flavors and soft, buttery slider buns. These oven-baked mini sandwiches are loaded with melty mozzarella, savory pizza sauce, and colorful vegetables, making them ideal for parties, family dinners, game days, or quick weeknight meals. Simple to prepare and incredibly satisfying, these sliders deliver big flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

12 small slider buns
½ cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup sliced bell peppers
¼ cup sliced black olives
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons melted butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Assemble the Sliders
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves tightly together in the prepared baking dish. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the buns, making sure each one is well coated for maximum flavor. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top, followed by the sliced bell peppers and black olives for color, texture, and classic pizza taste.

Add the Tops
Place the top halves of the buns gently over the fillings, aligning them carefully to keep the sliders neat and compact.

Prepare the Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried oregano. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the buns, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly for a golden, flavorful crust.

Bake
Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are lightly golden and aromatic.

Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
