Make these simple, cheesy pizza pinwheels using refrigerated crescent roll dough. They are a fast, crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for parties, game days, or quick family snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 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 a small border along one long edge.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Distribute the mini pepperoni slices over the cheese layer.
  5. Starting from the long edge opposite the unsealed border, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  6. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal rounds, about 3/4 inch thick.
  7. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
  8. Brush the tops of the pinwheels lightly with melted butter. Sprinkle lightly with Italian seasoning.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For make ahead appetizers, you can assemble the rolls, slice them, and place them on the baking sheet, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 1-2 minutes to the bake time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • These are excellent freezer-friendly pizza snacks; freeze baked or unbaked pinwheels on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat from frozen at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
  • Serve these game day finger foods with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
