Using store-bought crescent roll dough as a base, these bite-sized pizzas feature a crispy, flaky crust filled with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella cheese, and your choice of toppings like pepperoni. Ready in under 30 minutes, they’re ideal for parties, game days, or a fun family treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 tube Crescent Roll Dough (8 oz)

Sauce

  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce (can substitute with pizza sauce or pesto)

Cheese

  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Toppings

  • 1 cup Pepperoni slices (or assorted veggies for vegetarian option)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
  2. Shape Dough Crust: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles. Press each triangle firmly into the greased muffin tin cups, forming a deep-dish crust that covers the bottom and sides evenly.
  3. Add Sauce: Spoon about one tablespoon of marinara sauce into each dough-lined muffin cup, spreading it gently across the bottom.
  4. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce in each mini crust.
  5. Add Toppings: Place pepperoni slices or your chosen toppings evenly on top of the cheese layer.
  6. Bake the Mini Pizzas: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the mini pizzas to cool for a few minutes in the tin before gently removing and serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute crescent roll dough with homemade pizza dough for a different texture.
  • Swap marinara sauce with pizza sauce, pesto, or even alfredo for varied flavors.
  • Use assorted vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for a vegetarian version.
  • Check your oven temperatures as baking times may vary slightly depending on your equipment.
  • These mini pizzas can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
