QuikTrip Breakfast Pizza Nutrition Facts

QuikTrip’s breakfast pizza is a popular grab-and-go item, featuring a soft, doughy crust topped with scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, and a blend of cheeses. It’s a convenient and satisfying morning meal, but its nutritional profile is something many customers wonder about. This article breaks down the nutrition facts for a typical slice and provides a homemade copycat recipe so you can enjoy the flavors with more control over the ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup (120 g) shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup (120 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (or 1/2 lb / 225 g cooked sausage)
• 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch (30 cm) pizza pan or baking sheet.
2. Press the pizza dough evenly onto the prepared pan, forming a slight rim around the edge. Prick the dough with a fork to prevent bubbles. Par-bake for 8 minutes, until just set but not browned.
3. While the crust par-bakes, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the egg mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still soft and slightly underdone (they will finish cooking in the oven). Remove from heat.
4. Spread the cooked eggs evenly over the par-baked crust. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon (or sausage).
5. Top with the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, then sprinkle with Parmesan if using.
6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature of the egg mixture should reach 160°F (71°C) as per USDA FSIS safe minimum for egg dishes.
7. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 8 wedges.

Tips

• Substitutions: Use any shredded cheese you like—pepper jack adds heat, while a Mexican blend works well. For a vegetarian version, skip the meat and add sautéed bell peppers and onions.
• Storage: Leftover slices can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave.
• Common mistake: Overcooking the eggs before baking will make them rubbery. Keep them soft and slightly runny; they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
• Crust tip: For a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone.

Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad for a balanced breakfast. A drizzle of hot sauce or ketchup adds a tangy kick. This pizza also works well for brunch alongside a mimosa or coffee.

Variations

• Southwest: Add 1/2 cup (75 g) diced green chiles and 1/2 cup (75 g) black beans to the egg mixture, and top with pepper jack cheese.
• Veggie: Sauté 1 cup (150 g) of chopped mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions, and add to the eggs.
• Meat Lover’s: Add cooked crumbled sausage, diced ham, and bacon for a hearty version.
• Hash Brown Crust: Replace the pizza dough with 2 cups (300 g) of shredded hash browns, pressed into the pan and baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes before adding toppings.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes, or microwave on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute. For a crispier crust, use a toaster oven. If freezing, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag; they’ll keep for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories are in a slice of QuikTrip breakfast pizza?
Based on the ingredients and portion size (1/8 of the pizza), each slice contains approximately 290–320 calories, 18 g fat, 22 g carbohydrates, and 14 g protein. Actual values vary based on crust thickness and meat choice.

Can I use pre-cooked eggs from the store?
Yes, but they are often seasoned and may add extra sodium. If using, skip the salt in the recipe and adjust to taste.

Is QuikTrip breakfast pizza gluten-free?
No, the crust contains wheat. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pizza dough or a cauliflower crust, and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the pizza the night before, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake it in the morning, adding 5 minutes to the baking time to compensate for the cold ingredients.

What is the best way to reheat a slice without making it soggy?
Use a toaster oven or a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side. This helps crisp the crust and melt the cheese without steaming.

How does the homemade version compare to the original?
This copycat is lighter on oil and salt, and you control the cheese and meat amounts. The flavor is similar, but the texture may be slightly less greasy.
