Beloved by kids and adults alike, Veggie Pizza is quite possibly the tastiest way for people to eat their vegetables. You won’t have any leftovers!
What to grab at the store to make Veggie Pizza:
- Two cans of crescent roll dough.
- Two 8-ounce packages of cream cheese.
- Mayonnaise. (some cooks prefer sour cream instead)
- Packet of ranch dressing mix.
- Shredded cheddar cheese.
- Vegetables. Grab a mixture from the salad bar, or just buy: cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, black olives, scallions
How to make Veggie Pizza:
These instructions walk you through the basics without giving you specific ingredient amounts, which are all listed below in the recipe card.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and line a large (at least 11” by 17”) baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Next, unroll the crescent roll dough and form the triangles into rectangles to form a crust inside the baking sheet. Press the seams together with your fingertips.
- Bake the crust using the package instructions—usually about 12 to 15 minutes—until golden brown. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before proceeding.
- While the crust is baking, make the herbed cream cheese. Mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dried salad dressing mix. Chill in the refrigerator until the crust is cool. Let all those herbs mingle together and get tasty!
- When you’re ready, spread a layer of the cream cheese over the cooled crust.
- Then arrange the veggies over that, from edge to edge. Next, sprinkle on the cheese. Voilà!
- Pop it back in the fridge and let it chill for an hour before cutting into pieces.
Making Veggie Pizza ahead of time:
You got this!
- Bake the crust up to a day ahead of time. Wrap it up and keep it out at room temperature.
- Make the cream cheese spread and store it in the refrigerator.
- Chop up your veggies and have them ready to go.
- When it’s time to party, tote them to your destination and top the pizza when you arrive. You don’t even need to ask the host for an oven. How great is that?
Other fantabulous Veggie Pizza combinations:
Any vegetable is pretty incredible on this pizza, but here are some other combos to light a spark or two for other delicious ideas. Be sure to cut the vegetables so they are bite-sized and are easier to eat. Finish with a dusting of shredded Parmesan cheese or some cracked pepper.
- Red peppers, black olives, and scallions with shredded mozzarella
- Chopped cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese
- Chopped cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese
- Tricolor peppers, carrots, and green onions

This was made at our Bible study tonight. It was a huge hit. I asked for the recipe and we all took some home. So good with the ranch packet seasoning.
So glad you all liked it Joan, thanks! – Meggan
I’ve been making this for many years. Everyone loves it
I use broccoli slaw. Makes it super easy
Sounds delicious Barbara, so glad everyone enjoyed! – Meggan
I did not care for the ranch in this st all & neither did others at our gathering.
I did not care for the ranch dressing in it. Others also didn’t care for it when taken to get together.
Hi Janet, I’m so sorry you didn’t care for the ranch dressing mix. One of my favorite things about pizza is that is it so flexible, you can make it your own and leave it out next time, or substitute it for a different dip you like! Take care – Meggan
I love this recipe especially since my daughter is a vegetarian. I follow as written except I do add a teaspoon of dried dill. One other thing I do is cut the dough into squares (using a pizza cutter) after I add the cream cheese mixture but before I add the veggies….much easier to cut that way. Last but not least Pillsbury makes crescent roll sheets now (without the perforations) so that makes the crust easier as well!
