This DiGiorno Pizza Skillet Dumpling Is A Party-Sized Beast You Can't Ignore

DiGiorno pizza is already meant to satisfy your pizza cravings while cutting out the middleman and skipping the delivery wait. But what if you could take the freezer staple to the next level? In December 2025, a TikTok user created a massive pizza skillet dumpling by stretching a thawed pepperoni pizza 2-3 inches over a cast-iron pan, stuffing it with extra cheese, pepperoni, and sauce, then folding over the crust. After baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes, the finished result was a thick, flaky, flavorful pizza that, at first glance, could be mistaken for a large dumpling. Instead, it's a party-sized beast of a pizza to eat on your own for a night in or share with friends as the ultimate pregame appetizer.

For some DiGiorno fans, this could be the hack they need to recommit to the pizza after expressing disappointment with the size shrinking in recent years. One customer took to Reddit, saying, "DiGiorno pizza is now the size of a small dinner plate." Another Reddit user said that the size — as well as the quality — has dwindled since the pizza hit shelves in 1995, which could be why DiGiorno landed at ninth in our frozen pizzas ranked from best to worst list.

To make the most of your DiGiorno pizza dumpling, follow a few tips. For one, avoid stretching your dough too much because it can thin the center and cause it to rip in half. As the TikTok user mentioned in the caption, 2-3 inches should be enough. And when baking it, remember that every oven operates differently, so keep a close eye on your pizza to avoid under- or overcooking.

While the dumpling itself is creative, feel free to take it a step further with some extra flavor. In the original video, the content creator added ingredients already on the pizza, but you can use this recipe to try pizza toppings you haven't tried but should, like corn or peaches for a sweet twist. Or try another skillet favorite: an extra cheesy pizza mac and cheese skillet recipe. All of this to say that next time you head to the freezer aisle and pass up the DiGiorno pizza for something more fulfilling, you may want to think twice, because this dumpling hack gives you possibilities — still no delivery person needed.
