Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Unwrap the can of crescent rolls and carefully separate them.
Step 2: On a circular baking sheet, arrange the triangle-shaped crescent rolls in a circular pattern. Use your fingers to firmly press the seams together. Next, with a pastry roller, gently roll and press the dough to expand it until it covers the entire 12-inch pan.
Step 3: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving approximately a ½ to 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Step 4: Add the cheese and pepperoni slices.

How to Reheat Pizza
Toaster oven - Heat the pizza for about 5-10 minutes, or until the crust becomes crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Traditional oven - I like to place leftover slices of pizza on a preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Air fryer - Place the pizza slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. Cook at 350°F for about 3 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the crust and the amount of toppings. Check the pizza halfway through the cooking time to ensure it's heating evenly. You may want to rotate the slices if necessary.
Microwave - Microwaving pizza can result in a soggy or rubbery crust, as the microwave heats the pizza quickly and unevenly.
