Ingredients

Crescent Roll Dough: No need to buy the Pillsbury brand, any brand will do. Buy extra cans of dough on sale and make a wholesome cold veggie pizza that the kids will love. No crescent rolls? Use puff pastry or ready-made pie dough.

Garlic Butter: The secret ingredient to a crispy crust with authentic Italian flavor is the garlic butter. Punch up the flavor with extra seasonings like oregano, basil, or some red pepper flakes.

Pizza Sauce: Any pizza sauce or marinara works for crescent roll pizza.

Cheese: Loads of ooey gooey mozzarella, parmesan, a Mexican cheese blend, or any shredded cheese works.

Toppings: Pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage, leftover taco meat, or chicken are great options for customizing pizzas. Omit the meat and make a spinach and mushroom pizza.

Variations

Make a BBQ chicken pizza by switching out the pizza sauce for BBQ sauce and top with cooked shredded or diced chicken and black olives. Or try a Hawaiian-style pizza using slices of deli ham and pineapple bits. Get creative!

Tips For Success

  • Lightly flour your hands if the dough is very sticky.
  • Spread the sauce within a ¾” border of the pizza so the crust can puff up as it bakes.
  • Shred the mozzarella by hand for the best melt. Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents in it that prevent it from melting as well.
  • Keep toppings about the same size so a little bit of everything gets on every slice.

Leftovers

  • Keep leftover crescent roll pizza in single layers in a covered container and use parchment paper in between layers if stacking them. They will keep for 3-4 days.
  • Enjoy pizza cold, or warm portions in the microwave, air fryer, or in a dry skillet before serving.

  1. I would leave the garlic butter off of the entire pizza. It made the crust too soggy for me. Maybe just on the edges would be okay.
