The official name for this recipe is “Chapman Tuna Pizzas”. C.C. Chapman’s father found this recipe years ago. It’s what C.C. ate through his college years. (I survived on hot tuna fish “grinders” with melted Swiss cheese, and my husband ate Indian food, but that’s another story!)
Tuna fish pizza is not necessarily the norm, but boy is it good!
You can find my video on how to make English Muffin Pizzas here.
You can find my blogpost on how to make Tuna Fish Salad here .
Now all you have to do is just combine the two and add a few more ingredients.
To make four “Chapman Tuna Pizzas” you will need:
- 2 large English Muffins (or 3 regular size)
You will also need:
- 6-to-7 ounces of canned tuna
- 1/4 cup of diced celery
- 2-to-3 Tablespoons of mayonnaise
Next, you’ll need:
- ½ Teaspoon of oregano
- 1to-2 Tablespoons of Tomato Sauce or Pizza Sauce
Finally, you’ll be using some shredded Parmesan cheese.
Let’s start cooking!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
You need to begin by making some tuna salad. Directions for doing this are given here. Add less mayonnaise then you normally would. Don’t forget to add the oregano!
Line the muffins up on a baking sheet with sides.
Spread the tuna on the muffins. (I’m using the large English Muffins that measure about 3 inches across.)
Spread the tomato or pizza sauce on top of the tuna.
Sprinkle on some shredded parmesan cheese. (Use fresh, not the kind in the box!)
Bake for about 15 minutes or until the muffins are crispy!
Thanks C.C. (and a special thanks to your Dad!)

I don’t know–tuna and pizza sauce together doesn’t sound very good to me! I’m always willing to try something once though.
