More About This Recipe
- We’ve long believed that you can never have too many ways to enjoy pizza (a.k.a. the world’s most perfect food), and this pepperoni pizza sticks recipe backs that up. Zesty pepperoni and gooey mozzarella cheese wrapped inside crescent dough make for perfectly dippable finger food that no one will be able to resist. They’re crazy-fast to make and only take four ingredients, so you’ll probably want to make a double batch just to make sure everyone gets their fill of pizza sticks. Because just like with traditional pizza, you’re pretty much guaranteed to want two or three pieces, minimum.
