Veggie Pizza is a classic appetizer recipe that’s packed with the best flavors! Buttery crescent rolls topped with flavored cream cheese, chopped fresh vegetables, and finely shredded cheese… it’s a party staple that’s sure to be a hit!
There are some appetizers you just expect at every party… and for me, Veggie Pizza is one of them. I’m not sure if it’s a midwest thing or an everywhere thing, but either way… it’s one of my all time favorites.
There’s something about the soft, buttery crust combined with the flavored cream cheese that’s just SO yummy. And when you top it with fresh veggies and shredded cheese? It hits all the right notes.
Of course, if you search the internet there are tons of Crescent Roll Pizza recipes. (I’m not claiming this is anything new!) But. I am completely convinced that this is the BEST VEGGIE PIZZA recipe of all! It has just the right amount of creaminess and comfort, combined with just the right amount of freshness and flavor. I’ve spent a lifetime eating it… I should know!
Best of all, it’s a recipe that’s easy to tweak according to your specific tastes, which is always a win in my book! And if you have picky eaters? Let everyone top their own square! Seriously. Have you ever met a more delicious (or accommodating) appetizer? I think not. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 package dry ranch seasoning packet
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 cup broccoli, chopped
- 1 cup cauliflower, chopped
- 1/2 cup carrot, chopped
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
- 1/3 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
Bake the crust – spread the crescent roll dough in a greased 10×15 inch rimmed baking sheet. Poke several times with a fork to prevent bubbles. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Mix the base – combine the cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and dill weed in a medium mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the veggies – wash & finely chop the veggies while the crust cools.
Assemble the pizza – spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Add the veggies one layer at a time. Garnish with additional dried dill as desired.
Serve – serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Recipe variations
- Add additional vegetables, such as mushrooms, tomatoes, or cucumbers (*if adding tomatoes or cucumbers, wait until you’re ready to serve it)
- For a richer base, substitute mayo for the sour cream
- Use a spreadable cheese as the base instead of making your own
- Substitute biscuit dough for the crescent dough
- Use any of your favorite shredded cheese OR omit the cheese altogether
- Use fresh dill in place of dried dill
Make-ahead & storage tips
Crescent Roll Pizza is easy to make in advance, and it stores well too! Here are some make-ahead tips:
- Pre-bake the crust and cover with foil for up to 24 hours

Any tricks on how to neatly cut the veggie pizza to serve. Always seems to be a challenge to not have it get messy!
Cathy Trochelman says
A couple ideas… first, I would make sure it’s cold when you cut it. Second, have you tried using a pizza cutter instead of a knife?
Cathy Montgomery says
I cut my rolls into cookie shape and bake. Then you have individual snacks, also makes a pretty Christmas wreath.
