A little late on this recipe but I saw it recently in an email and seeing that my youngest loves pepperoni pizza had to try it. I used turkey pepperoni and low fat Mozzarella. Turned out pretty darn good! I had a bit of trouble making them look as cute as the pic but mine were just a bit longer. For me and hubby I switched it it up a bit. We used spinach and mushrooms in ours with mozzarella. I'd like to try that with some goat cheese which I did not have on hand .Also thinking these would be good with leftover chicken shredded up, BBQ sauce instead of pizza and some diced red onions and c

Just made this dish tonight and my husband and I really enjoyed it. I used shredded mozzarella and turkey pepperoni in my version; also used less pepperoni. These were simple to put together and baked up nicely.

Though the family enjoyed it the first time, I had to make adjustments: Fewer pepperoni slices and LOTS more cheese. I even covered the top with mozzarella shreds. Without it, the top was crispy with burnt-looking edges. With those adaptations, it has become a family favorite!

I just made this for my family of 6, and this was a HIT! This recipe will now be a permanent part of our menu. A tip for those with larger families: buy at least three cans of the LARGE crescent rolls. And make a side as well, or you will need to make more Crescent Pizzas. ENJOY! We did.
