Pull-Apart Pizza Sliders

When I pull these pizza sliders out of the oven, the first thing I notice is how glossy and golden the tops look from the garlic butter. The rolls are soft and pillowy, but the bottom has just enough crisp from broiling to hold everything together. As I pull one slider apart, the mozzarella stretches beautifully, layered between tangy pizza sauce and savory pepperoni. Every bite tastes like classic pizza night but richer and more indulgent, thanks to the buttery herb topping soaking into the rolls. They are warm, cheesy, garlicky, and impossible to stop eating once you start.

Recipe Tips

Broiling the bottom half of the rolls before assembling is key. It creates a light barrier that prevents the rolls from getting soggy once the sauce and cheese are added.
