Crescent Roll Veggie Pizza

There’s something magical about a recipe that feels both nostalgic and refreshing and this Crescent Roll Veggie Pizza is just that. I remember the first time my Italian grandmother made something like this, using her homemade dough topped with garden vegetables from our summer harvest. Now, I’ve adapted her idea using Pillsbury crescent rolls to create a modern twist that’s perfect for busy home cooks looking for something quick, colorful, and crowd-pleasing.

This easy vegetable pizza is the kind of appetizer that disappears the moment it hits the table. It’s served cold, so it’s ideal for warm summer days, but hearty enough to be a comforting bite in winter as well. Whether you’re prepping for a party, potluck, or simply need a quick dinner option, this dish brings together fresh vegetables and a flaky crescent roll crust in perfect harmony.

Best of all, it’s endlessly customizable. Don’t like broccoli? Swap it for bell peppers. Want more kick? Add some chili flakes to the creamy topping. It’s a Crescent Roll Veggie Pizza recipe that welcomes creativity while delivering consistent flavor and texture.

Ingredients

• 2 cans of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 oz each)
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 packet ranch dressing mix (or Italian seasoning as a twist)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cauliflower
• 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup shredded carrot
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions

• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

This crescent roll pizza is as fun to make as it is to eat. Follow these easy steps to build your perfect cold veggie pizza with minimal effort:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the crust: Unroll the two cans of crescent roll dough and press them into the bottom of a large baking sheet, sealing the seams to form one even layer. You can use a rolling pin to smooth it out slightly.
3. Bake: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let it cool completely before adding toppings.
4. Make the creamy spread: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing mix. Blend until smooth and fluffy.
5. Spread: Once the crust is cool, evenly spread the creamy mixture over it. Use a spatula for smooth coverage, making sure you reach all the edges.
6. Top with veggies: Sprinkle chopped broccoli, cauliflower, red bell pepper, carrots, and green onions across the surface. Press gently into the spread so they stick.
7. Add cheese: Finish with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
8. Chill: Place the pizza in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set for clean cuts.
9. Slice & Serve: Cut into squares or rectangles and serve cold as an appetizer or a light lunch.
