Pepperoni Pizza Pull-Apart Monkey Bread

Looking for a unique and tasty appetizer for your next gathering? This Pizza Pepperoni Monkey Bread is easy to make, packed with cheesy, garlicky pepperoni goodness, and made for sharing!

I was so excited to be one of 30 bloggers selected to create fun and unique recipes for a special recipe challenge, and my category was Appetizers & Shareables. I immediately knew I wanted to create something that everyone could gather around and dig into—perfect for game days, holiday parties, family gatherings, or just a fun night at home.

Think of this as a savory spin on classic monkey bread. Each little pull-apart bite is stuffed with pepperoni and melty mozzarella, coated in seasoned garlic butter, sprinkled with Parmesan, and baked together in a Bundt pan until golden brown. Guests can simply pull off a piece and dip away!

And the dipping sauce is definitely part of what makes this appetizer so good. I served it warm with Don Pepino Pizza Sauce, which is fully prepared and ready to use straight from the can. It’s made with 100% Jersey Fresh tomatoes with no concentrate, no citric acid added, no added sugar, and no fillers. Just heat it up and you have the perfect pizza sauce for dipping all of that cheesy pepperoni goodness.

Best of all, this recipe looks impressive on the table but is incredibly easy to put together. Serve it warm, set a bowl of Don Pepino Pizza Sauce in the center, and watch everyone start pulling it apart!

If you’re looking for an easy-to-share appetizer that’s packed with flavor and perfect for game days, holiday entertaining, and family gatherings, add this one to your list.

Highly recommend—just don’t expect leftovers!
