Nothing beats a soft and fluffy crescent roll, except maybe a crescent roll that’s been stuffed with cheese! Like our Cheesy Garlic Crescent Rolls…those are tough to beat!

We took that same idea, but we went for more of a pizza vibe this time around.

These crescent rolls are stuffed with pepperoni and string cheese and brushed with garlic butter. The perfect little bite of heaven!

We’ve served these up to the kids for a quick lunch, but they also make a fun snack or appetizer at a party.

Pizza crescent ingredients spread out on a white counter.

Dough- You can easily find canned crescent roll dough at your grocer near the biscuits. We get the original flavor.

Pepperoni – We need about 24 slices of pepperoni for this recipe. I buy a package of pre-sliced pepperoni, but you can slice your own if you prefer. If you go that route, be sure to keep the pepperoni thin for this recipe.

Cheese– Keep it simple with string cheese! It melts perfectly.

Seasonings- You will also want some butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and parsely for brushing over the rolls. We’ll serve these with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

How to Make Pizza Crescent Rolls in an Air Fryer:

Collage of making pizza crescent rolls.
  • Stuffing the crescent rolls– Unroll your crescent dough and separate out the individual triangles of dough. Put 3 slices of pepperoni along the widest end of the dough. Then slice your cheese sticks in half and place one half over the pepperoni. Now you can roll up your dough by folding in the ends first, then roll the dough up to seal in the cheese.
  • Make the garlic butter– Stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • Coat the crescent rolls – Brush this seasoning over all sides of your crescent dough.
  • Air fry the crescent rolls– Arrange your buttered rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry for 6 minutes at 350 degrees F. When done cooking sprinkle with parsley and serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping!

FAQ:

What can I serve with pizza crescent rolls?

We serve these alongside a hearty green salad for a fun take on lunch. Be sure to serve them with warm pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.

Can I reheat pizza crescent rolls?

These are best served fresh, but you can reheat any leftovers in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes.

Recipe Tips!

If you don’t love pepperoni you can use any meat you prefer. The only requirement is that it is fully cooked before using the meat in this recipe!

Notes

You can find crescent rolls in the refrigerated section near the biscuits in most American grocery stores. I’m not sure if this product is available outside of America.
