We are a pizza-loving family. I've made lots and lots of different kinds of pizzas over the years. We like to mix things up with creative toppings and crusts to keep things interesting!

We like french bread pizza, pizza bagels, pizza with my fave two-ingredient pizza dough, and sometimes we use store-bought dough.

One of my most recent favorite shortcuts for making pizza at home is to use crescent rolls for dough!

Using crescents rolls as pizza crust makes a super soft, super yummy, kid-approved pizza that only takes fifteen minutes to bake. It's a great crust substitute for when you don't have time to make a traditional dough.

I hope you like this easy pizza recipe as much as we do!

CAN I USE CRESCENT ROLLS FOR PIZZA DOUGH?

Yes! Crescent roll can be used as a substitute for pizza dough. Crescent rolls make a very soft, foldable crust that can be topped with all of your favorite pizza toppings.

HOW TO MAKE PIZZA WITH CRESCENT ROLLS

Crescent roll pizza is made with a can of crescent roll dough or a can of crescent roll dough that comes in sheet form. Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet and pinch the seams closed. Bake the dough in a 375 degree F oven for five minutes. Top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and any pizza toppings you like. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then slice and serve! See below for detailed recipe instructions.

HOW LONG TO COOK CRESCENT ROLL PIZZA

Crescent roll pizza is cooked for five minutes without toppings and then an additional ten minutes after the toppings are put on. Crescent roll pizza is baked for a total of fifteen minutes at 375 degrees F.

HOW TO REHEAT CRESCENT ROLL PIZZA

My favorite way to reheat crescent roll pizza is in a toaster oven. If you don't have a toaster oven, the pizza can be reheated in the microwave. Cook in 30-second intervals until warm.

  1. I took a page outta Domino's recipe book & put just a dash, like a teaspoon worth of corn meal under the dough on the pan the first 5 mins. Then wipe off the pan so it won't burn on the next 12 mins. Firms up the crust but not too much.
