Pinwheel pizzas are a great appetizer to have in your recipes. They are great tasting, just like a slice of pepperoni pizza, only smaller and we would put them in the quick appetizer category.  They are made with just five ingredients and take just a few minutes to whip up. The ingredients are simple and probably you keep most of these in your fridge. They are one appetizer that gets eaten right away, you should try making these when you have company or just a great snack when watching tv.

Making the Pinroll Pizzas:

There are only 5 ingredients needed to make these pinwheels.

  • Pizza Dough
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Cream Cheese
  • Small Pepperoni Slices, optional
  • Marinara Sauce

The ingredients start with a roll of pizza dough which you open, then, using a rolling pin, roll out just a little more so that it is thin enough for a thin crust. We like the thin crust pizza.

Next, put the soften cream cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese in an electric mixer and mix until smooth soften (you can soften the cream cheese in the microwave if you need to).
