Pizza Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Pizza-stuffed crescent Rolls are incredibly simple to make and disappear quickly once they come out of the oven. The warm mozzarella melts in your mouth with just a hint of spice from the pepperoni, making for a delicious snack.
I love making these rolls with my kids for a weekend treat or game night snack. My daughter loves helping out in the kitchen, and these are the perfect snacks for us to make together. Watching her little hands prepare them on the cookie sheet melts my heart! My boys also enjoy popping open a tube of crescent rolls after school, unwinding from their day while chatting and laughing in the kitchen. Once the oven beeps, it’s all silence as they devour these tasty snacks!
How Do You Make Pizza Stuffed Crescent Rolls?
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pop: Carefully open the can of rolls, then unroll each crescent roll.
- Pepperoni: Place slices of pepperoni on the widest side of the triangle.
- Cheese: Place a 1/2 of a mozzarella stick on top.
- Wrap: Roll the wide end to the smaller tip of the crescent. Then fold in the edges so the cheese can’t melt out when baked.
- Coat: Before baking, brush melted butter on top of the crescent rolls.
- Dress: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or parmesan cheese if desired.
- Cook: Bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.
- Enjoy! Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Get Creative and Try Different Pizza Variations
Here are some tasty ways to switch up the flavors in your pizza-stuffed crescent rolls!
- Pepperoni: For a healthier alternative, you can use turkey pepperoni. You can also use sausage or ham instead of pepperoni.
- Veggie Add-ins: Sneak in those veggies by adding mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions.
- Cheese: For best results, use mozzarella sticks, but shredded cheese works great! Switch up the cheese and use cheddar.
Storing and Reheating Leftovers
These pizza-stuffed crescent rolls are best served fresh out of the oven. That said, if you have leftovers, they still taste amazing when reheated. You can use the microwave or air fryer to heat them up perfectly. Here’s how:
- In the Refrigerator: Once cooled, transfer the pizza stuffed crescent rolls to an airtight container and store for up to 3 days.
- Reheat In the Air Fryer: Air fry at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes, keeping an eye on the pizza rolls to avoid overcooking.
- Reheat in the Microwave: For a snack in a pinch, microwave for 30-second intervals or until warm.

Just wondering what are the cookies on the page that we see ?
Recipe please? Thanks Carmela
Could you assemble these ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and then bake them off later?
That should be fine!
Is the nutrition amount for one or two rolls? Pizza Stuffed Crescent Rolls
The estimated nutrition is for each pizza crescent roll!
Excellent! Very well received by children and adults at church coffee hour. I halved each for smaller portions and served with hot pizza sauce.
We love this recipe! My 4 year old can assemble them by herself. And it’s a win for her picky palate!
Our first try at this we had half with pepperoni the other half with crushed pineapple… we used string cheese and the pepperoni turned out fantastic but the crushed pineapple needed a little extra time to reach perfection. Love this recipe!
This recipe is so good! My family loved it and we will be making it often!
After a long day of shopping and decorating the tree, this was perfect for my two kids. We loved them.
I made these today. I used turkey pepperoni since that’s what I had. I also added green pepper & mushroom. They were very tasty.
That is AWESOME! I am so glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO
Can the pizza rolls be made ahead of time and reheated? I wanted to take them to a baby shower. Thanks
Hi there. Can you be more specific on the cheese? It looks like string cheese
Any cheese that fits your preference. We used string cheese because that is what we had on hand!
My daughter made these for lunch today. They were super easy to make and delicious! So yummy! We’ll definitely make these again!
