So how I did mine was rolled out the the doe, put my sauce and toppings only on half then folded the other half on top . Cooked 20 min. So for my family of 4 I used 4 cans . But they came out amazing
So easy to make and turned out perfect. Put parchment paper on the cookie sheet for baking and easy clean up. Bought 1 package sliced pepperoni and used 6 slices per pocket. Husband requested twice as many. Can’t wait to make again exploring other pizza ingredients.
Less pizza sauce and more cheese and pepperoni added. I love pepperoni and plan on using Italian sausage next time.
I added “everything but the bagel” seasoning on top. Bomb ??
I made these for dinner. The family loves them.
Also I used Pillsbury pizza crust instead and cut into small squares to make more like Pizza rolls.
My kids loved these and loved making these.
Very tasty treats for an at home movie night, etc. My kids loved them! Like other reviewers, I did have a hard time with them staying sealed. Next time, I’ll really pinch the perforations together better. I added a little Italian seasoning for a little extra flavor. They were really yummy!
Great movie dinner. We made a double batch and the kids added their own fillings. Loads of fun and delicious.
Great! Added mushrooms and green peppers; another batch I used cooked Italian sausage and mushrooms, I rubbed with butter on top last 3 minutes and sprinkled with garlic…..yummy! Will definitelymake again.
My 11 year old son made this and we all loved it!
Super easy and way more delicious than frozen pizza and pizza pockets! I changed a few things just to make it more my family taste; for one, I couldn’t figure out how to make them into triangles so I just folded the rectangles over into squares. I sealed off the edges and poked holes in the tops with a fork and didn’t have any issues with the insides leaking out. Topped them with a brush of olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Then baked convection at 360 for 12 mins and they were perfectly done! Yes the crescent bread does have a flaky/buttery/almost sweet taste to it so the aftertaste is different but still WORLDS better than frozen! Combined the leftover tomato sauce with some chunky leftover pasta sauce I had and heated it up
I greased my cookie sheet before baking these. I made eight rolls where I laid out halve a slice of cheese, topping with 4 pepperoni on the long end. On the V area I placed a small slither of cheese and two more pepperoni, rolled it up and placed it on the sheet.. Basted olive oil mixed with rosemary, oregano, basil and garlic. Loved how the bottom came out crunchy alone with any cheese melting on the pan. Served it with a salad. HUBBY loved this and it will probably become a favorite meal for us.
I’ve been making these for years. Pick your favorite toppings and let your creative juices flow. The crescent rolls work well as a pocket or flat as a more traditional style crust.
The crust is too sweet.
Kids liked them but these were a pain to make. The crescent roll dough doesn’t stick to itself. I even took two triangles smooshed them together and rolled it out & it still fell apart where the seams were. In the end I ended up using half the stuffing and just rolling them into crescents with the stuffing in; they turned out great!
I made this exactly as recipe said. Thought it was ok. Next time I will add olive oil to make it crunchy n add Italian seasoning to give more of a pizza flavor. Maybe oregano, but that’s in the air. Good idea for crescent rolls though. I will branch of of this idea. Kids enjoyed it.

This recipe is simple and perfect. I used spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce and I substituted the mozzarella cheese for a 4-cheese blend. The mozzarella made it seem like the dough wasn’t fully cooked. Overall I love this and so do my kids.
Made this in a toaster oven and it turned out okay. Wasn’t terrible but I probably wont make it again
Kids loved it however it’s not something we will cook again with crescent rolls. The rolls are hard to work with and sweet
