My cheesy sausage squares are one of the most popular recipes on my website. I figured they were popular for a reason 😉 and thought we needed another variation. How about Cheesy Pizza Squares?! This one-handed snack is layered with crescent roll dough, an Italian-seasoned cream cheese mixture, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and more cheese. They are brushed with olive oil and Italian seasonings before baking. It’s almost like a bite size calzone! Dip them in more pizza sauce or ranch. The perfect game day app or after school snack. If you’re looking for a fun family dinner, just cut them into larger squares for pizza night!
