Sometimes you need a quick and easy snack. Whether you’re feeding kids after school or need a big appetizer for a party, these cheesy crescent pizza bites hit the spot. The combination of hot, melty cheese and pepperoni makes this finger food good for kids and adults.

The first time I made these just before everyone was coming home from school and work. As soon as my daughter walked in the door, she could smell them. I’d just taken them out of the oven and she was excited before she even got to the kitchen. By the time I had the crescents off of the baking tray and on the table, everyone was sitting and waiting.

I’ve tweaked this recipe just a bit since I first made it. My secret for getting big, fluffy rolls is to stack two crescent rolls for each one! I’m amazed at how much better they look and I think I’m going to do this every time I make something with crescent roll dough.

How to make crescent pizza rolls

Ingredients

2 8-count package refrigerated crescent roll dough
8 pieces of sliced mozzarella cheese
40 pepperoni slices

Instructions

1. Prep the crescent roll dough.

Preheat the oven according to the crescent roll package directions. Mine cooked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.

2. Assemble and roll.

Cut the mozzarella slices in half diagonally into triangles.

For each crescent roll, layer two pieces of crescent dough, one cheese triangle, 5 pepperoni slices, and then another cheese triangle. Starting at the big end, roll up the crescent dough with everything inside.

Make sure you stick the little end of the dough to dough, not pepperoni or cheese, so it will stay closed. These look full, but they’ll turn out perfect.

3. Bake.

Space the crescent rolls evenly on a baking sheet and bake according to the crescent roll package directions. Mine cooked for 14 minutes at 375 degrees. They’re done with the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Let the pizza rolls cool for a minute or two before taking them off the baking sheet. The cheese that is sticking out of the rolls is going to have stuck to the pan and gotten just a bit crispy, so I recommend using a metal spatula.

Serving and storage

Serve the pizza rolls hot. You could make up some marinara sauce for dipping, but we liked these without. Leftovers can be kept covered in the refrigerator for a day or two. To reheat, pop them in the toaster oven or air fryer so they get nice and crisp again.

These are the perfect cheesy party snack for pizza lovers! Serve up a big batch on New Year’s Eve or for a football watching party.
