How to Make
The full directions are in the recipe card below. You can print it off if you would like!
Step 1: Pre-cook your french fries. You can bake in the oven, air fryer, or fry up in oil. I used seasoned fries for this recipe to add more flavor. Any brand works!
Step 2: Spread out your pizza crust, I used a pizza stone, you can use any style of pizza pan.
Then spread on a layer of your chili. Leave room around the edge for the crust of the pizza.
Step 3: Load on a thin layer of cheese, followed by your cooked french fries.
Step 4: Then I added extra chili, and the rest of the cheese on top of the pizza, and then tossed in a 425-degree oven and baked until golden brown and cheese was fully melted.

Store Bought VS Homemade Pizza Crust
If you have a favorite homemade pizza crust you enjoy, go right ahead and whip it up. I reached for the Wewalka classic pizza crust that you can find in the refrigerator sections.
It taste similar to homemade and you roll it out and shape. This is why it takes under 30 minutes to make this pizza. Quick and easy when you use store bought.
Best Chili To Use On Chili Cheese Pizza
You can easily use canned chili. Or save back leftover chili from the night before. This is a fantastic leftover chili recipe!
The leftover chili will thicken, and then it is easy to spread on the pizza crust. But Hormel canned chili does work just as good.
It just depends on the flavor you want from your chili. Personally, homemade taste best.
Storing Leftover Chili Fry Pizza
If you have any leftovers, just place in an airtight container and store in the fridge. Then when you want to reheat, toss it back in the oven for a reheat.
I did 350 degrees and heated for around 5 minutes and then just checked until the pizza was warm enough. You can also reheat in the microwave.
It will sog up the pizza crust a bit though if reheated in the microwave.
Desserts To Pair With Pizza
Chili Cheese Fries Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough I used Wewalka Classic Pizza Dough
- 2 1/2 cups chili canned or leftover homemade chili
- 2 cups cheese
- 1 1/2 cup cooked seasoned french fries
- Toppings: Jalapeno slices green onions, etc
Instructions
- Start by cooking your seasoned french fries. I just baked mine in the oven. You can do an air fryer or a deep fryer if you prefer.
- While fries are cooking, spread out your pizza crust on a baking stone or pizza pan.
- Now spread almost all the chili on the raw pizza crust. Leave an edge to act as the crust edge.
- Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on the chili, followed by piling on cooked french fries. Add as many as you want.
- Then with the leftover chili I added a few more spots, and then added the rest of the cheese.
- Bake in the oven at 425 degrees and cook for 5-10 minutes or until your pizza crust is done and your cheese is melted.
- Once done, pile on toppings if you want. We did jalapenos and green onions.

Looks amazing, think I’ll try it this weekend! I’ll post about it on my Insta page @thisnannycooks. What kind of cheese did you use? Looks like cheddar and mozz maybe?

You can use any type of cheese you would like. I found that a colby jack worked great!
