A fun, kid-friendly, and cheesy appetizer or snack, stuffed crust pizza snacks are easy to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

1 roll (14 oz) refrigerated pizza crust (classic or thin crust)

8 sticks mozzarella string cheese, cut into thirds (24 pieces)

24 slices turkey pepperoni

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing

Optional: pizza sauce or marinara, for dipping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare baking sheet

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).

  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray.

Step 2: Prepare cheese & seasoning

  • Cut each string cheese stick into three equal pieces, making 24 cheese pieces.

  • In a small bowl, mix together:

    • 1 tsp oregano

    • ½ tsp garlic powder

    • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese

Step 3: Prepare the dough

  • Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust on a clean surface.

  • Cut the dough into 24 equal squares using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

Step 4: Assemble the bites

  • Place one cheese piece in the center of each dough square.

  • Roll the dough tightly around the cheese, pinching the seams to seal completely.

  • Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 5: Add toppings

  • Brush each dough ball with melted butter.

  • Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly on top.

  • Place one turkey pepperoni slice on each dough ball, pressing it lightly so it sticks.

Step 6: Bake

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

  • Remove from the oven and cool for 2 minutes.

Step 7: Serve

  • Serve warm with a side of pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure the dough is sealed tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.

  • For spicier bites, add crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

  • Reheat in an oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.

  • You can use crescent dough or homemade pizza dough if preferred.
