Pizza Crescents
Ingredients:
- 8 crescent rolls
- 4 string cheese sticks
- Marinara sauce
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. I made mine in a toaster oven which worked really well.
Cut cheese sticks in half so you have eight half pieces. Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into eight triangles. For each triangle of crescent dough you will need one spoon of marinara sauce and half of a cheese stick. Spoon the marinara sauce into the center of the largest part of the crescent.
Add a half a string cheese on top of the sauce.
Roll up the crescent around the cheese stick.
Pinch off the sides so that no sauce or cheese is visible.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 9-12 minutes until the crescents are a golden brown.
These are just SO good and can be made in 20 minutes, start to finish! I like mine dipped in warm marinara sauce while my kids prefer them as is.
If you are serving these to kids, wait a few minutes for the pizza crescents to cool since the cheese can be hot. My daughter had so much fun eating the ooey-gooey cheese.

FAQs for Pizza Crescents
A thick pizza or marinara sauce works best. Avoid anything too runny so it doesn’t leak out while baking.
Absolutely! Try pepperoni, cooked sausage, or even veggies. Just make sure fillings aren’t too wet or they’ll make the dough soggy.
Store cooled crescents in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crispiness.
