I thought these were very good and had plenty of flavor. My family loved them! I used one can of garlic crescent rolls and one can of regular.

I made these a couple of months ago for my son's birthday party & they were a hit! Everyone loved them, even the parents. My Dad, who doesn't even like pizza, loved these! I only made a single batch, but should have made a double. The parmesan/oregano topping makes these taste even better, be very generous with it.

This recipe was easy and quick, but just didn't strike me as great. There was not alot of flavor, and it didn't hit the 'pizza craving' at all. I'm sure it's great for kids who want pizza, but no one in my family really liked it.
