Crispy, saucy, cheesy, and loaded with pepperoni—Pizza Gnocchi is the cozy one-pan dinner that tastes like your favorite pizzeria met soft, pillowy pasta dumplings. It’s quick, comforting, and gives all the pizza vibes without turning on the oven. Think pizza night… but make it a skillet bowl moment.
