Fortunately, this step-by-step tutorial on how to draw a pizza can help you draw one effortlessly. This guide consists of detailed, yet brief, instructions, all of which come with elaborate visual illustrations.
With this comprehensive tutorial, you might be surprised to discover how easy drawing a pizza actually is!
Have fun and use your artistic skills!
How to Draw a Pizza – Let’s get started!
Step 1
Starting on the upper left portion of your paper, draw two parallel curved lines forming the pizza crust.
Then, draw another two curved lines on both ends of the crust. Don’t forget to add a diagonal line at the bottom of the curved line to create a three-dimensional effect.
Step 2 – Create an Outline of the Pizza
To complete the shape of the pizza, draw a sideways triangle shape connected to the crust. The top side of the triangle shape should be a slightly bumpy diagonal line while its bottom part should have a drip effect.
Drawing a drip effect is simple and easy! Simply draw multiple side-by-side droplets dripping from the same surface level.
Make sure to draw the dripping droplets in various sizes, as shown in the illustration above, to achieve the perfect drip effect!
Bonus: Use Craft Paper And Other Supplies To Make This Pizza Even Tastier!
We will soon cover some ways that you can color in this drawing of pizza, but we wanted to go over another way you may not have thought of. This involves using some craft paper, and you can get really creative with it.
The reason we wanted to cover this here is that using craft paper will cover some of the details or colors you would want to add. In the next few steps, we will show you some ways you can draw some details.
Before that, we wanted to show you an alternate way that you could go about it. To do this, you will need some craft paper, scissors and glue to stick it down.
When choosing the colors of your craft paper, try to think of the ingredients you would like on the pizza. If you would like it to be mainly cheesy, then you can stick to yellow and orange shades.
If you want pepperoni or other meats, then you could stick with red or brown paper. These are just a few options!
Then, using the outline as a reference, carefully cut out the paper to make the pizza. Try to keep in mind the layers they will go in.
So, the first one should be the cheese and crust, and then you can add the smaller details and ingredients. It can result in a more dynamic image, and it would be cool to contrast this version to a more traditionally drawn one.
Craft paper can come in any colors you could want, so you could make your ideal pizza and even draw a few final touches once it’s done! What kind of pizza could you make with craft paper?

Step 3 – Next, Add Details on the Pizza Slice
Draw detached lines right above the drip effect to magnify the outline of the pizza. Avoid pressing down too hard with your pencil when drawing these lines to keep them light and not harsh.
Don’t worry if the lines are not straight or if they look slightly bumpy. As a matter of fact, uneven light strokes are preferred to make your pizza look realistic.
Step 4 – Now, Add the Pepperoni on Top
A slice of pizza wouldn’t be complete without pepperoni toppings on top, so that’s what we will be drawing on this step.
Draw a circle shape laid flat on the surface at the top of the pizza, forming the shape of a single pepperoni. Then, draw smaller circles inside to create a realistic-looking pepperoni!
Step 5 – Draw the Second Pepperoni Toppings
Let’s add more pepperonis on your pizza to make it more appetizing!
Draw a semicircle shape on the edge of the pizza slice.
Afterwards, draw tiny circles within the pepperoni, as shown in the illustration.
Step 6 – Afterwards, Add the Third Pepperoni
Two pepperonis on one slice of pizza is most definitely not enough, so let’s go ahead and add our third pepperoni.
Remember, if you are adding the pepperoni within enough space, then draw a full circle. On the other hand, if you’re adding one near the edge, then it should be a semicircle.
Also, make sure that there are gaps in between the pepperonis to make your toppings look evenly distributed.
Step 7 – Then, Add the Fourth Pepperoni on Top
Keep repeating the previous step until you’re satisfied with the amount of toppings that’s on your pizza.
Don’t forget to add toppings over the edge of the pizza too!
Step 8 – Add as Much Topping as You Want
As you can see in the illustration, we kept our pizza plain and simple. We only have a bunch of pepperonis and melted cheese on top of our pizza.
Feel free to customize the toppings and add whatever toppings you like on your pizza! If you like some onions, bell peppers, or perhaps some more meat, go ahead!
Step 9 – Now, Add Details on the Melted Cheese
Cheese typically has bubbles, so make sure you add some to the melted cheese on top of your pizza!
Simply draw tiny circle shapes in various sizes all over the surface of your cheese.
Make sure to create a lot of bubbles to add texture, not too many.
Now that we have successfully drawn a mouthwatering slice of pizza, it’s time for the most exciting part, which is handpicking the colors and coloring your drawing!
The pizza’s crust is typically cream or brown in color, depending on how well-cooked you prefer your pizza to be.
The cheese, on the other hand, is usually vibrant yellow while the pepperonis are pale red with pinkish details.
You can opt to color you drawing similar to how we’ve done ours or use a unique set of colors.
We recommend doing the latter so you can fully personalize your drawing and make the most out of your experience. We’re excited to see which colors you will be using!
