Awesome idea! These look so simple yet way cuter than regular pizza!
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea!!
ReplyDeleteToo adorable! I'll have to do these the next time Trevor has a friend spend the night.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea for a party. I am hosting one next week and was wondering about making them and then freezing them? Has anyone tried this?
ReplyDeleteI am a freezer cook and I am pretty sure these will freeze beautifully. You could then microwave them, but I will probably bake them for 10 minutes after they are thawed.
DeleteDee - I haven't frozen them. If you do freeze them, make sure to bake them first. They won't rise properly if you freeze them without baking them first. Let us know if you try it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a good dish to pass at a party!!!
ReplyDeletedoes it work if you don't use the garlic powder? looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI made these for dinner last night and they were so easy and soooo good. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou can even use the low fat crescents, low fat cheese and turkey pepperoni to make it healthier!!thanks for sharing this!

ReplyDeleteWhat are cresent rolls? Live in Australia so are they called something else here?
ReplyDeleteI have never seen them in Australia (from US moved over 4 years ago). I think maybe something like puff pastry could work as a replacement.. But it wouldn't be exactly the same.
DeleteLooks so good and easy!

ReplyDeleteCould u give me ur cresent roll receipe? I am from india. Do u know what is it called here?
ReplyDeleteI made these tonight and it was a HUGE hit. My 2 year old and 4 year old devoured them. Next time I will double the recipe.
ReplyDeleteSo do they make 8 or 12 little pizzas? A little confused although I may have misread
ReplyDeleteYou will get 12 pizza cups - Enjoy!
DeleteWill these work in a mini cupcake pan?
ReplyDeleteSure - just adjust the cook time. They won’t take as long to bake in a mini muffin pan
