This cinnamon sugar pizza with crescent rolls tastes like a warm hug at the end of a long day. Soft, buttery dough meets a golden cinnamon crunch, then melts beneath a creamy drizzle that’s somewhere between frosting and magic. I’ve made this late at night, early in the morning, and—don’t judge me—once for lunch when life demanded dessert before dinner. We start with store-bought crescent rolls because life is complicated, and baking doesn’t have to be. Unroll, press, mix, sprinkle, bake—it’s the kind of sweet therapy you can pull off with one eye open and a coffee in hand. The sugar caramelizes just enough to feel gourmet, but we both know it took ten minutes of effort and the will to not eat the topping straight out of the bowl. Whether you’re after sweet easy recipes to whip up in a pinch, or you’re on a mission to convince someone that dessert pizza is totally a thing—this one brings joy. And yes, I licked the spoon. Don’t pretend you won’t.

3) Ingredients for Cinnamon Sugar Pizza with Crescent Rolls

Crescent Roll Dough These store-bought dough sheets save so much time and have the perfect light flaky texture that crisps up while staying soft inside.

Unsalted Butter Melted butter gives the pizza that golden brown finish and rich flavor. It helps the cinnamon sugar stick beautifully too.

Granulated Sugar White sugar adds that classic sweet bite when mixed with cinnamon. It caramelizes lightly in the oven making each bite crackly and soft.

Ground Cinnamon Warm and fragrant, cinnamon ties the whole dessert together with a nostalgic scent that fills the house while it bakes.

Powdered Sugar Light and airy powdered sugar blends easily into a creamy drizzle to add that final sweet touch after baking.

Milk Just a splash loosens the powdered sugar for drizzling without making it runny or too thin.

Vanilla Extract Real vanilla adds depth to the drizzle and makes it smell and taste a little more like you spent hours baking.

4) How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Pizza with Crescent Rolls

Step 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment if you want easy cleanup after the magic happens.

Step 2 Roll out your crescent dough and gently press the seams together if using the kind with perforations. Make a big soft rectangle like a blank dessert canvas.

Step 3 Brush the dough lovingly with melted butter. Cover every bit so it turns golden and delicious while baking.

Step 4 Mix your cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle the whole mixture evenly over the buttery surface. Do not skimp here if you want maximum cinnamon flavor.

Step 5 Bake it for about 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and your kitchen smells like someone lit a cinnamon candle.

Step 6 Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust milk if it feels too thick.

Step 7 Drizzle the frosting over the warm pizza. Slice into squares or triangles and watch it disappear.

5) Tips for Making Cinnamon Sugar Pizza with Crescent Rolls

Let the dough sit at room temperature for about five minutes before you unroll it. This makes it much easier to handle without tearing.

Use a light hand with the drizzle if you want it to soak in a little or go heavy if you want frosting rivers pooling in every bite. No wrong answers here, just preference.

If you want a deeper flavor, try using half brown sugar and half white sugar in the cinnamon mix. It melts differently and gives a richer caramel note without extra effort.

6) Making Cinnamon Sugar Pizza with Crescent Rolls Ahead of Time

Sometimes sweet cravings hit hard when you are least prepared. Luckily this dessert keeps really well. Bake it fully and let it cool. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature if eating within a day, or refrigerate if you are planning to stretch it out a bit longer.

Save the drizzle separately in a small container if you are making it ahead. Drizzle just before serving for best texture. A quick 5-minute warm-up in a low oven makes the pizza taste fresh again.

This sweet easy recipe really shines when made a few hours ahead for parties or family nights. It keeps its flavor and structure without much fuss.

7) Storing Leftover Cinnamon Sugar Pizza with Crescent Rolls

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you have already added the drizzle, you might want to use parchment paper between layers so they do not stick.

For longer storage, keep the pizza slices in the fridge. They will hold up for about four days but honestly, good luck not eating it before then.

Reheat slices briefly in a warm oven or even microwave for just a few seconds. That way you bring back the soft texture without drying it out.
