These crispy pizza stuffed crescents are a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing snack featuring gooey mozzarella, spicy pepperoni, and tangy pizza sauce wrapped in buttery crescent roll dough. Perfect for parties, after-school snacks, or cozy comfort food moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 16 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Open crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Lay out on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon pizza sauce onto the wide end of each triangle, spreading gently and leaving edges clear.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then top with 2 slices pepperoni per crescent.
  5. Roll up each crescent from the wide end toward the tip, tucking in sides as you go. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Brush tops of crescents with melted butter. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or Parmesan cheese if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until crescents are puffed, deep golden brown, and cheese is bubbling. Rotate tray halfway through baking for even browning.
  8. Let cool on the sheet for 3-5 minutes before serving. Transfer to a wire rack for extra crispness if desired.

Notes

For vegetarian, swap pepperoni for sautéed veggies. Use gluten-free or dairy-free alternatives as needed. Don’t overfill crescents to prevent leaks. For extra crispness, bake directly on the sheet for the last 2 minutes or broil briefly. Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
