Homemade Pizza Pocket Recipe
This summer I’m making it a goal to learn how to make more things homemade rather than running to the freezer or a fast food restaurant. One of my daughters (and ok ok..mine too) favorite foods is pizza! We love take out pizza, make at home pizza, pizza rolls, and pizza pockets! The bad thing about store bought pizza pockets is that that can be expensive, made with questionable ingredients, and let’s not forget the molten lava that forms when you put those things in the microwave right?
Well I have solved all those problems with my homemade pizza pocket recipe! This recipe is super easy, cheap, and yummy. The kids could even make it for themselves if they wanted. Would you like to learn how to make it? Let’s check out the recipe!
Here is how to make my Homemade Pizza Pocket Recipe:
You Will Need:
- 1 tube crescent rolls
- sliced pepperoni
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- pizza sauce
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Roll your crescent roll dough out and create 4 rectangles.
Next, it’s time to make your pizza! Laddle on about a tbsp of sauce and spread it. Then your cheese, and then your pepperoni. You could also use any other type of pizza topping your would like! We just like to keep it simple, ha!
Then, fold your pizza pockets over and use a fork to crimp the edges together to create your pocket. Poke a few holes with your fork on top of the pockets to allow air in while the cook so they don’t explode. Pop them in the oven and let them cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!

This looks interesting. It’s fun to have recipes that are fast to make.
You must have been reading my mind. I have the stuff to make this in my fridge and wanted to make it today! I hope mine turn out as well as yours did.
This looks so good! I love that its so easy to make and kid friendly! Would be fun to make them homemade!
These sound delicious. I am going to have to make this for the kids. We can even craft our own type of pizza too.
That looks delicious! I want to make this for the kids. Thanks for the recipe.
What a great meal! I’ve done this before with frozen bread, but I haven’t tried it with crescent roll dough before.
Looks so yummy! thanks for sharing your recipe.
This looks so awesome and delicious. I have never tried this kind of pocket pizzas before. It looks so perfect and I would love to try this at home for sure. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe idea.
I was thinking about making pizza pockets the other day. This is a great and easy idea.
These pizza rolls look and sound so good. Yummy!! These are one of my favorite things to make with the kids too. I love the crispy flaky crust. Now I am going to have to make some again. Thanks for sharing.
Do these freeze and reheat well? How would you recommend reheating from frozen?
We do our toaster oven for about 3 minutes.
Pepperidge Farms used to make a frozen pizza on a croissant type dough. It was my favorite ! the flaky dough. I can’t wait to try these.
Yay! Enjoy!
Could I make with Gluten Freezing Crescent Rolls? My son & I can’t have gluten. Thank You
I would think so. Try it!
Question . . . what do you mean by “pop them in the oven”?
Also, have you done this with anything else, such as to make something along the lines of “hot pockets”?
At this time we have not. Sorry!
