Cook's Tips
Don't forget to spray the baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray before adding the crescent roll dough. This will help to prevent sticking and ensure that the pizza slides right off when it's time to serve.
When rolling out the dough, there may be seams to create each roll. Use your fingers to pinch these seams together to create one flat crescent pizza crust.
Be sure to preheat the oven before adding the crescent roll pizza. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
The baking time may vary depending on how hot your oven is and how many toppings you put on. Check the pizza at the 12-minute mark and add more time as needed.
If you want a crispier crust, cook the pizza on a lower rack in the oven so that it gets more direct heat.
Variations
Sauce Ideas: Instead of red pizza sauce, try using a variety of different sauces including BBQ, Alfredo, or even a creamy garlic sauce.
Cheese: Change up the cheese by using cheddar, provolone, parmesan, or any other type of shredded cheese that you like.
Meat Toppings: Add your favorite meat toppings to the pizza including sausage, hamburger, chicken, or bacon. Try making a Mexican pizza by topping it with Sheet Pan Mexican Ground Beef.
Vegetables: Get your veggies in by adding mushrooms, onions, peppers, olives, or any other type of vegetables that you like.
Storage & Freezing
Storing: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Freezing: This crescent roll pizza recipe can also be frozen! Just place the cooked and cooled pizza slices in a freezer-safe bag or container and store them in the freezer for up to two months. When you're ready to eat, thaw the pizza overnight in the fridge and then reheat it in the oven until warmed through.
