Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve baguettes lengthwise. Thinly slice tomato into rounds. Drain pineapple.
• Place halved baguettes, cut sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet (for 4 servings, divide between two sheets). Top cut sides of bread with a drizzle of olive oil. • Place mozzarella, pepperoni, sliced tomato, pineapple, marinara, and pesto in separate serving vessels. Present toppings family style with baguettes, cut sides up, and let everyone build their own French bread pizzas. (You’ll bake the pizzas in the next step!)
• Bake French bread pizzas on top rack until bread is toasted and cheese melts, 7-10 minutes. (For 4 servings, bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
• Divide French bread pizzas between plates. Serve with chili flakes on the side. (Don’t forget to serve with any extra items you may have ordered to build out your meal!)

Reviews from our home cooks
I've never been a fan of pizza breads but my husband really wanted to have these. I have to say, they were quite delicious! I only put pineapple, tomatoes, pesto and a tiny bit of cheese. Absolutely wonderful! He had pepperoni and cheese and loved it! And it was super easy and quick!
Please keep the French bread pizza on the menu. So quick and so tasty next time, though, I will probably put the French bread slices in the oven to give them a little more crisp before adding the toppings and putting them back in the oven.
Really enjoyed the taste of marinara sauce, pineapple was sweet and first time I have tried pesto on a French bread pizza and really enjoyed the taste! Great lunch item for me
Honestly way more delicious than I thought it would be. Fun, great options, plenty of pepperoni. Kids LOVED it as well. Used the air fryer and they were done in like 2 minutes.
I likely shouldn't have ordered this because it was so basic and I could probably have gotten the same ingredients at the grocery store for less-- but with much better bread. Kind of plain jane but I guess good for smaller kids who want to build their own pizza. How about real pizza dough that is used for other dishes and then make your own pizza instead of the gross packaged bread?
This was so easy to prepare! We loved the taste as well. Will definitely keep this one in the repertoire! Neither of us care for pesto as a pizza sauce option.
Nice change from regular pizza. More convenient as no dough to knead. Great choice of ingredients.
Lots of fun and really delicious. Also rewarms well in the oven or the air fryer.
So tasty plus quick and easy to cook makes this an excellent choice for dinner.
Not very filling. Would need a salad or some sort of side for it to feel like a full meal
