A quick, buttery dessert pizza that’s sweet, cozy, and ridiculously easy.
If you need a last-minute dessert that tastes like a bakery treat but takes almost no effort, cinnamon-sugar pizza made with crescent rolls is your best friend. Flaky crescent dough turns into a soft, golden crust topped with warm cinnamon sugar and finished with a simple glaze. Perfect for family nights, potlucks, or whenever you want something sweet without baking from scratch.
🛒 Ingredients
Base
2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Optional Glaze
½ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Prepare the Dough
Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F.
Unroll crescent dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza pan. Pinch seams together to create one large crust.
2️⃣ Add Butter & Cinnamon Sugar
Brush melted butter evenly over the dough.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle generously across the surface.
3️⃣ Bake
Bake for 10–14 minutes or until the crust is puffed and golden brown and the sugar looks lightly caramelized.
4️⃣ Make the Glaze (Optional but Delicious)
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle over the warm pizza once it’s slightly cooled.
5️⃣ Slice & Serve
Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm for that soft, gooey texture.
