Layers of pepperoni, pizza sauce, and cheese are layered in Hawaiian rolls and baked under a sprinkle of crispy parmesan cheese.
Ingredients for Pizza Sliders
Rolls: I use Hawaiian sweet rolls for these (and other slider recipes too), but any slider buns or dinner rolls will work. Pepperoni: For bite-size pieces, use mini pepperoni or cut larger slices into halves or quarters. Cheese: Mozzarella gives a perfect cheese pull and has a mild creamy flavor but feel free to use your favorites. Pizza Sauce: Use your favorite variety of pizza sauce or make homemade pizza sauce using canned crushed tomatoes (it’s easy, I promise!). Marinara sauce can be used in place. Topping: Melted garlic butter and a little bit of parmesan keep the sliders soft and adds flavor. Stir in a little Italian seasoning if you’d like.
Filling Variations
Add your favorite pizza toppings. Some of my favorites include chopped black olives, onions, green chiles, jalapenos, or sliced mushrooms. Swap out the pepperoni for ham, crumbled bacon, Italian sausage, leftover ground beef, or pulled pork. Mix in some red pepper flakes into the melted butter for a pop of color and heat.
How to Make Pizza Sliders
Storing Leftovers
Keep leftover pizza sliders in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Eat them cold or reheat them by covering them in foil in the air fryer or oven, or try putting them in the microwave. Freeze cooled sliders by wrapping them in plastic wrap and storing them in a zippered freezer bag. If freezing before cooking, prep up to step 6 and freeze on a baking sheet. Once frozen, wrap in plastic wrap and transfer to a zippered bag to store. To bake, let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator, brush with melted butter topping and bake following the recipe.
