Preparation
What kind of dough to use for crescent roll pizza?
You want to find the canned crescent roll dough found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.
If you can find a roll without seams (not cut into triangles) that will work best, but if you can only find cut dough, just pinch the seams together before topping.
What kind of pizza sauce to use?
This is entirely up to you! Grab whatever brand is your favorite from the store or if you have an excellent homemade pizza sauce recipe, use that!
We love to use this blender marinara sauce or our slow cooker spaghetti sauce.
What kind of cheese for crescent roll pizza?
We like to use mozzarella but you can also throw in some parmesan, asiago, fontina or provolone. Whatever cheese you have on hand will work!
Leftovers and storage
How long does crescent roll pizza last?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Can you freeze crescent roll pizza?
We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Tips and tricks
✅ Add whatever toppings are your favorite! The dough rolls out into a rectangle so you could do half and half or make multiple pizzas to please everyone’s desired toppings.
✅ Try making an alfredo version with white sauce instead of red pizza sauce.
✅ Cut the crescent dough in half and let the kids each make their own square pizza with whatever toppings they enjoy!
✅ Sprinkle the pizzas with some Italian seasoning, dried oregano or dried basil.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use any type of crescent roll dough for this recipe?
