I have been having a lot of fun lately coming up with recipes that involve crescent rolls and pizza.

There are a few reasons why I've been combining the two so often lately.

First, crescent rolls are always on sale at my local grocery store. I like to grab a few cans each time I see them on sale to use in their traditional form and to use in fun, creative recipes like this one.

The second reason is because my kids love pizza. Like, love love.

They want me to pizza-fy all the things and crescent rolls and pizza just so happen to be a match made in heaven. They also love Pizza Sliders. Totally a winner recipe, too!

I know you'll love how quick and easy it is to make this family friendly recipe.

HOW TO MAKE PIZZA CRESCENT ROLLS WITH STRING CHEESE

Pizza crescent rolls are easy to make in right around 20 minutes! First, crescent roll dough is rolled around pieces of string cheese and sliced pepperoni. The rolled crescent rolls are brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with garlic salt and parmesan cheese. The pizza rolls are arranged on a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked for 12 minutes until golden brown. See below for detailed recipe instructions.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH PIZZA CRESCENT ROLLS

Pizza crescent rolls are best served with a side of sauce for dipping. Served alone they make a great appetizer, lunch, or snack. They can also be served as a main dish with a salad on the side.

WHAT IF MY CHEESE MELTS OUT?

Some of the cheese will melt out of the crescent rolls. Don't worry, though. They are still deliciously cheesy with some of the cheese on the outside instead of the inside!
