After making my French bread pizza a few weeks back, I realized that I donโ€™t have nearly enough pizza recipes on All Things Mamma. I was about to start brainstorming some ideas, but immediately got distracted thinking about game day sliders. And thatโ€™s when it hit me: pizza sliders! Everything you love about pizza in the form of a handheld appetizer. Yes!

Easy Pizza Sliders Recipe

My plan for the upcoming BIG FOOTBALL GAME (did you know that the actual name of the game is trademarked?!) is to make a slider bar with some of my familyโ€™s favorites:

And, of course, these pizza sliders too. I donโ€™t even know if Iโ€™ll make anything other than slidersโ€”although if I do, my Easy Jalapeรฑo Popper Dip is definitely going on the menu!

Of course, pizza sliders are so easy and delicious, it would be a shame to save them for game day! You might want to put them in regular rotation for your weeknight dinners, too. Kids will devour them, leftovers can be packed into lunches, and everyone can top their sliders with their favorite pizza toppings!

How to Make Pizza Sliders

steps to make pizza sliders

1. Prepare

Preheat your oven to 400ยบF and lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Assemble

Place the bottom half of the dinner rolls onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce onto them, then layer on the pepperoni and cheese. Place the other half of the dinner rolls on top and press down gently.

3. Make the Topping

Combine the butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano in a small bowl. Brush this mixture onto the tops of the rolls.

4. Bake and Serve

Bake the pizza sliders for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Serve brushed with any remaining butter topping.

    I want to make this as a Philly Chicken cheese steak, no beef.
    Thank you,

    4 stars
    How will the ingredients change if I use shredded chicken instead of pepperoni/

    1. Shyanne - ATM Team says:

      They won’t! Just make sure your chicken is fully cooked. We would recommend using 2-4 ounces. We would love to know how it turns out for you!
