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!

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! pizza drawing 9 steps
