11 Pizza Jokes for Kids (Clean and Funny)
Cheesy pizza jokes for kids that are clean, quick, and perfect for pizza night, lunchboxes, and birthday parties.
What makes these jokes work
Pizza jokes are the reliable crowd-pleaser of kid humour. Everyone at the table knows what a pizza is, so nobody has to have the setup explained, and there is almost always a pizza somewhere nearby when you need one.
Most of them are built on three words - cheesy, slice, and dough - which makes them unusually easy to remember. A child who learns one pizza joke tends to learn four.
Use them at pizza night, at a party, or written on the inside of the box lid before it gets opened.
How to tell them
- Tell it while the pizza is arriving, not after everyone has eaten.
- "Cheesy" is the key word in half of these - lean into it.
- Write one on a napkin at a pizza restaurant while you wait.
- These pair well with the banana jokes for a two-joke lunchbox note.

Common questions
What is a good pizza joke for kids?
"What did the pizza say to the photographer? Cheese!" is the easiest one for young children, because it only needs them to know that people say cheese for photographs.
Are pizza jokes good for a party?
They are ideal, because the subject is already in the room. Give each child one joke to tell rather than reading the whole list yourself.
Can I print these for pizza night?
Yes. The print page turns any selection of jokes into cards, bookmarks, or lunchbox notes on standard paper.
