Tuna Pizza with Green Peppers
This tuna pizza is reminiscent of the classic tuna salad, but in pizza form. It’s a quick recipe that’s sure to become a favorite.
This post is part of my partnership with Milk Means More.
When Ben was a teacher, he put together a collaborative cookbook with the other teachers in the school. Single and recently out of the Marines, his contribution to the cookbook was “Yellow Tuna.”
You might be thinking it was yellowfin tuna or something fancy. Well, you are wrong. The directions for that recipe went something like this:
Yes. That’s it. Is it weird that it was the last recipe in the recipe book?
He’s a tuna guy–he also loves my (nothing fancy) tuna noodle casserole.
This month I’m teaming up with Milk Means More, to focus on budget-friendly meals. Creating a delicious meal doesn’t have to break the bank, especially when you’re starting from scratch, like with this pizza dough. Buying a pre-made dough could cost you a few dollars but making your own will likely come in under a dollar.
Tuna is super cheap, especially if you don’t splurge on solid white tuna. Watch the sales and stock up when it’s on sale – cans of tuna keep forever (or something like that) so it’s a good item to stockpile.
Another money saving tip is to shred your own cheese. I love the convenience of shredded cheese and have more than a few bags in my fridge, but block cheese is less expensive and actually melts better because it doesn’t have the anti-clumping additives that pre-shredded cheese does.
Give this tuna pizza a try! Take your tuna salad outside the sandwich with fun and budget-friendly tuna pizza. Top it with hot sauce if you like it hot!
Used in this recipe:
- Cornmeal
- Sheet pan
- I cut my pizzas with the Scizza – it is amazing!
- Tuna
- Olive Oil

I was a little skeptical of tuna pizza but it’s delicious and very economical. I’ve also used the same filling to make delicious quesadillas!
This is the kind of thing my guys would go crazy for. So creative and budget friendly is a really good thing with 3 hungry boys!
Ha! Your husband’s yellow tuna…Classic! Tuna on pizza? I’m intrigued.
Ben’s recipe – haha. When I was a kid I only liked eating tuna with mustard but now that I’m an adult I eat it like a normal person ;) This pizza totally has me intrigued! I bet it’s delicious!
I am dying over Ben’s recipe contribution to the cookbook! Too funny! This pizza sounds like the perfect thing for lunch – or even Super Bowl munching.
Yes! I would be great for game days!
Clear, informative, simple. Love your post!
Thanks!
LOL I love Ben’s recipe. What a guy for participating and being resourceful! PS. This recipe reminds me of one of my favorite meals: tuna melts!
lol – I think it’s the USMC influence on him. ;)
loos great, forgive me for removing peppers if I make it–serious food sensitivity to green bell peppers
Ahh yes of course! You could top with some extra green onions if you like those!
What a fun twist on a lunchtime favorite!
Thanks Lori!
Awww what an adorable story! I personally eat yellow tuna a few times a month. I’m a total mustard lover.
Anyway, I LOVE how creative this pizza is!
Ha! That’s awesome. I’ll tell Ben he’s not alone in the love of that gourmet concoction. ;)
Mmm I love tuna and I love pizza, so this is a match made in heaven for me!!
Thanks Sues! I hope you try it! :)
I can’t say that I’ve ever had tuna on a pizza before…but I CAN say that I am also not mad about it one bit…because this is SUCH a great idea!! Pizza Monday is totally the new pizza Friday!
