If you've ever looked at a pizza crust and thought, "You know what this needs? Cinnamon and sugar!" then you're going to love this Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Pizza!!
It's sweet, buttery, warm, and wonderfully simple.
Instead of tomato sauce and cheese, this dessert pizza starts with soft pizza dough that's brushed with butter and generously sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. It bakes until the edges are golden and slightly crisp while the center stays soft and tender.
And then comes the best part—a sweet vanilla glaze drizzled over the top while the pizza is still warm.
The smell when this is in the oven is incredible!!
It's one of those desserts that feels fancy enough for company but is easy enough to make when the family suddenly wants something sweet.

What Is Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Pizza?
Cinnamon Sugar Dessert Pizza is a sweet twist on traditional pizza.
Rather than savory toppings, the dough is covered with butter and a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before baking. A simple powdered sugar glaze can then be drizzled over the warm crust.
The result is somewhere between a cinnamon roll, a sugar cookie, and a soft, buttery pizza crust.
It's chewy in the middle, golden around the edges, sweet without being complicated, and absolutely delicious served warm.
Basically, it's pizza for dessert.
And I see absolutely nothing wrong with that!!
