Gluten Free Pop Up Pizza is a gluten free version of a recipe that I have been making for over twenty years.
Pop Up Pizza Pie has been a family favorite for years. Back in the fall of 2009 when I went gluten free, I knew this was a recipe that I had to recreate gluten free.
The gluten free version is just as good the original recipe.
This is a gluten free meal that is very kid friendly and adult friendly.
It is a quick and easy gluten free dinner that both gluten free eaters and non gluten free eaters will enjoy.
You can use a gluten free flour blend in this recipe, but I really like it better with the individual flours.
Ingredients
A few basic ingredients and gluten free flours are all you need for this easy to make gluten free dinner recipe.
- ground beef
- chopped
- pepper
- gluten free spaghetti sauce ( Jar or Homemade)
- milk
- oil
- eggs
- rice flour
- potato starch
- tapioca starch
- xanthan gum
- salt
- shredded mozzarella cheese

A gluten free flour blend can be use in place of the individual flours, but I prefer it as written in the recipe with the individual gluten free flours.

Lynn, I made this last night & my husband and I loved it! So easy & tasty–and leftovers for my lunch today, lol. I just discovered your site, and am really enjoying exploring it 🙂
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know. I am glad you found my site and have been enjoying it. Thanks for reading!
Lynn,
I just found your site, and have to tell you how happy I am to have done so. Both of my children have Celiac, and any place I can find good recipies is wonderful. I have a quick question on the flour part of your recipes. After experimenting with my own blends and not doing so well. Not to mention the cost. I have come to really enjoy the Cup4Cup brand of flour. It has given me the best results so far in my baking endevors, and my kids seem to enjoy the end products also. SO my question is, can I just substitute the Cup4Cup blend for the rice flour, and starches that you list in your recipes? So instead of 1/2 cup flour and two 1/4 cups of starch that you list in this recipe. Can I just use 1 cup of the Cup4Cup blend? Thanks for the help and I really look forward to trying alot of your recipes.
I have not used cup4cup, but yes I think it would work in this fine. I hope you enjoy it!
Hi 🙂 Just wanted to ask if you think it would work to use your GF baking mix as a topping for this instead of mixing up what’s in this recipe? I have your baking mix made but not individual flours. I think it would work using the meat recipe for this with the topping for the pizza pie that’s in your e-book, just maybe double the topping since that recipe is for a smaller size pan.
I think it would probably work and is worth a try. I would love to hear how it turns out.
I made it for dinner last night & it turned out great. I haven’t made it by your original recipe though so I cant say if/ how it was different. I really love your GF baking mix recipe. Its very versatile and so easyto keep on hand.
Made this pop up pizza yesterday for my newly diagnosed celiac granddaughter, and it was delicious! She misses her pizza! The crust on the top was so good we couldn’t get enough! Such a quick dish to make. Think the next time I will add some hot sausage as we are sausage lovers here. Ty
I am so glad that you and your granddaughter enjoyed it! It is a favorite at our house and I love hearing that readers love it too!
Oh. My. Goodness. The Pop Up Pizza Pie is absolutely AMAZING!!! Unfortunately, I didn’t have mozzarella cheese on hand, so I used cheddar cheese instead. Best of all, it was my first time trying pop overs. My sister stayed for dinner after taking me to the super market, and she LOVED it. Next time, I’m going add some ground Italian sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms. Thank you for this awesome recipe, Lynn!!! 🙂
This sounds good but before I try this, what exactly is a pop over? Is it just a crust on the top as opposed to the bottom?
It makes a crust like top, but it isn’t a super bread like crust. Have you ever had popovers? It is similar to that type of texture. It is more of a light type crust, then it is a bread crust on top.
How much pancake baking mix would I use to make this?
I have never tried it with a pancake baking mix, but I am guessing you would use the same amount as the flours in this recipe, so 1 cup. If you try it, I would love to hear if it works.
