These quick and easy Pizza Sliders are made by layering marinara sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese into Hawaiian rolls and then brushing them with a garlicky melted butter.
I made these easy Pizza Sliders a few weeks ago for church and they disappeared in a blink! They were such a hit with everyone, I could hardly wait to share them with you.
Pepperoni Pizza Sliders
I used the leftover pepperoni and cheese to make a small batch for lunch the next day, just so I could grab some photos for this post.
(It was a real hardship eating them again, let me tell you.)
These sliders taste like you’re eating a hot pizza and they use only a handful of easy ingredients. I’m willing to bet that you’re going to love these!
As much as we enjoy pizza, there are quite a few ways we satisfy that craving at home. This Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a fantastic treat, loaded with savory slices of pepperoni, gooey mozzarella, and fresh basil.
For another delicious option when you’re craving pizza and just don’t have time to cook anything fancy, try French Bread Pizza! You can make it in the oven or in the air fryer and you can mix it up a bit with some bbq chicken pizza too.
Pepperoni pizza dip is the perfect party appetizer. I mean, who doesn’t love a piping hot, melting cheese dip full of pepperoni?
Pizza Sliders
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe:
- 1 package Hawaiian Rolls
- marinara or pizza sauce
- pepperoni
- mozzarella cheese
- butter
- Parmesan cheese
- garlic powder
- dried oregano
Pizza Sliders Recipe
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Leaving the buns attached together, slice them open with a long knife. You should have two rectangle sheets, the top and bottom half.
Place the bottom half of the slider rolls on a baking pan with edges. Spread on the marinara sauce on the bottom layer of buns.
Layer the pepperoni and shredded cheese over the rolls and then place the remaining half of the rolls over the top.
Melt the butter and stir in the Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano. Pour the butter and cheese mixture over the top of the buns.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted. If the tops brown before they are ready cover lightly with aluminum foil and continue to bake.
Remove from the oven. Slice the rolls apart and serve warm. Pair these rolls with a garden salad for a meal everyone will enjoy.
For your next pizza night, try filling some garlicky pizza dough with a generous amount of tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni to make these Pepperoni Pizza Rolls.

We’ve been making these for over a year now. My youngest son requests them at least once a month and they’re so easy to make he usually assembles them himself. (Total win!)

I’m so glad you like the sliders, Mandi!
