Make these Ultimate Easy Pepperoni & Mozzarella Pizza Pinwheels using refrigerated crescent roll dough. They are perfect for parties, game days, or a fun, quick snack the whole family will love. You get all the great flavor of pizza in a simple, bite-sized roll.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices (or chopped regular pepperoni)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Do not separate the triangles; keep the dough in one large rectangle. Pinch the seams together to seal any gaps.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the entire surface of the dough, leaving about a 1/2 inch border along one long edge.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni evenly over the sauce.
  5. Starting from the long edge opposite the unsealed border, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  6. Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut the log into 12 equal slices, about 3/4 inch thick.
  7. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  8. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan, if using.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can melt a clove of garlic into the butter before brushing the tops.
  • If you prefer a crisper pinwheel, place them on a wire rack set over the baking sheet for the last few minutes of baking.
  • These freeze well. Cool completely, place in a freezer-safe bag, and reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
