  9. Allow to cool slightly before serving with extra pizza or marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

These pepperoni pizza crescent rolls are incredibly versatile. You can easily swap the pepperoni for ham, sausage, or even load them with veggies like bell peppers or spinach to suit your taste. For an extra burst of flavor, consider using all-butter crescent rolls and fresh mozzarella. They are best enjoyed warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
