This was SO good. My husband couldn't stop saying it was better than garlic bread! He wants me to make it all the time now. Definitely a keeper!! The ONLY thing I did different was added some garlic powder on top. Excellente'! The basil is a must. I didn't think I would like it but it made the dish.

This was simply delicious. Used the Big Butter Cresent Rolls triangles and put them in a pizza pan. Sprinkled garlic powder over the oil as one reviewer suggested and topped with onions and tomatoes. Sprinkled cheese over the top and it was outstanding. Not soggy at all.

This is really yummy as long as you add the cheese BEFORE the tomatoes. We made this a second time (after the first time was a huge hit) and inadvertently put the tomatoes on the bottom. We ended up with an inedible, soggy mess.

Easy made. I added slices of pepperoni which made it like a pizza.

Made this recipe last night for a light supper. We all liked it so much we are making it again tonight for a snack. It's fabulous. We also added the mushrooms,onions, green pepper and pepperoni. This is one recipe going into our special favorites book. Love the possibilities of different veggies as the topping. Every crescent roll recipe seems to be a big hit at our house--especially the crescent cream cheese cinnamon dessert.

I made these the other night and they were a hit - no leftovers! I added some garlic powder to the crust with the olive oil for extra flavor. Also, instead of pressing the crescent rolls together, I left them as-is because they are naturally the shape of a slice of pizza. Too perfect! That way, as other users have mentioned, you can customize each slice, or just create a pizza without having to cut it up.

This is a great recipe for summer. It was super quick and easy! We are not big tomato fans, but used fresh mushrooms(not canned because they are to watery and make the crust soggy)or fresh peppers and onions. Great because you can customize each pizza, which is great for picky eaters!

This was just the right thing to make when you are not that hungry yet you know you need to eat. We liked the simple flavor of the tomatoes. I think the next time I would hadd some chopped sweet onion.
