Each slice of this delicious-looking Felt Pizza begins with a soft felt crust, tomato sauce, and cheese. Next, kiddos can pile on their favorite toppings to create a new special order every time they play. Make a classic pepperoni pizza, load it with veggies, or finally settle the great pineapple-on-pizza debate right at your own kitchen table.
Although there's plenty here for confident beginners to tackle, we'd call this Felt Pizza an intermediate craft. Because of the amount of small-scale stitching and construction involved, we highly recommend sewing clips to keep your layers together as you stitch around the thicker pieces.
Pizza as we know it took shape in Naples, Italy, where simple flatbreads topped with tomatoes became an affordable, everyday meal. Over time, however, pizza traveled far beyond Naples, picking up new toppings and regional twists along the way. That same “use what you’ve got” spirit makes our Felt Play Pizza especially fun — there really is no single right way to top a slice.
Once you've finished your Felt Pizza, whip up our Felt Pasta Play Food Set and open up your very own pizzaria! This DIY felt play food is perfect for a play kitchen, tea party, or grocery store setup. For even more fun, let your little ones take orders and practice counting toppings as they build each customer's pizza. You could even make little paper menus so everyone can order their favorite combination.
So, grab your needle and thread and get ready to serve up something special. Once your Felt Play Pizza is complete, share your handmade feast with us in our crafters' community or on social media using #MadeWithLia. We can't wait to see what's on your pizza!
FAQs
Do I need a cutting machine for this project?
No. A cutting machine is optional, and you can cut the felt pieces using detail scissors instead. However, a cutting machine may be helpful when making multiples of all those little toppings.
Is this project beginner-friendly?
This project is best for confident beginners and intermediate felt crafters. The basic shapes are approachable, but the smaller toppings and layered construction require a little patience and precision.

You are welcome!
Hi, i have issue with the SVG file.
I got this error in Cricut Design Space:
The uploaded SVG contained the following items that are not supported: Non embedded image elements.
I just looked over the file and found that error. Thanks for pointing it out. Updated and ready to download.
What blade do you use to cut the felt with the Cricut? Do you have a tutorial for cutting felt with the circuit? I’m new to the felt and having a hard time with the felt pulling and not getting a clean cut. Thanks!
Hi Elizabeth. We use the rotary blade for felt. We don’t have a video for cutting felt yet, but we do have this new mini-course that talks about our settings in the cutting lesson. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/8-steps-to-create-any-felt-stuffie/
Do you have an SVG file?
The SVG has been added 🙂
Hi! Love the felt food patterns. I made a whole bunch of felt food for my nephews to go with their play kitchen. The younger one is a year old, his brother is three.
A couple thoughts; I am extremely allergic to wool, wool felt is out of the question. I used a craft felt and just inserted a piece of interfacing, or ironed a piece of fuseable
web to a piece of fabric cut in the shape of the food object and tucked inside. I just used whatever was needed to give it the body to hold its shape thru their play. It has been holding up great for several months now.
I made the burgers, wrapped them in deli paper and placed w. fries in brown lunch bags. The pizzas went into cereal box home made pizza boxes. The boys LOVE the food.
The three year old dumped all the food on the floor in a pile, picked it up and started throwing it at people while he yelled “food fight”. Yup, they love the felt food. You can put the boy in the kitchen, but you can’t take the boy out of the boy!!
Ha! Linda this is wonderful to hear, I’m so glad the felt food has brought so much joy to your nephews!
do I need to print size 11×17 too.
This one is 8.5×11, too 🙂
So how can i know which one need to print size 8.5×11, which one 11×17
Most of our patterns are 8.5×11. You’ll know when you open the document, it will indicate the size at the bottom.
What type of specific felt and floss do you use? I tried to make this and they came out pretty floppy. Thanks!
There’s a link in the post to Benzie Design’s wool blend felt that we use, and just standard embroidery floss.
Do you have an example of what your felt patterns look like? I’d like to have an idea of how detailed they are before I pay for them if possible. Thanks!
Hi Kristine, most of our photo tutorials show the patterns in the first or second step. The felt pizza tutorial shows the template pieces cut out in Step 1. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for the directions and pattern. It so so adorable. My Granddaughter will absolutely love it.
You’re so welcome! 🙂
This is so adorable. I’ve been meaning to make felt play pizza since last year but haven’t gotten around to it. I love the ideas for the toppings 🙂
Thank you, we had too much fun making it:-)
