Easy Hawaiian Roll Pizza Sliders Recipe

These Pepperoni Pizza Sliders are such a fun appetizer or quick dinner to serve for pizza night, or any other night of the week. They’re made by spreading pizza sauce, pepperoni, and two types of cheese inside King’s Hawaiian rolls that have been brushed with garlic butter and Parmesan. 

Once baked the buns stay tender on the inside with a delightfully crisp buttery outer layer. It doesn’t get much better or easier than this! Try filling with different combinations of your favorite pizza toppings. Or, if you are in the mood for a slightly more traditional slider these Easy Cheeseburger Sliders are always a hit.

Key Ingredients

• Hawaiian Rolls – these soft and fluffy rolls are the perfect size for sliders. You could also use any type of store bought or Homemade Dinner Rolls. 
• Pizza Sauce – any type of pizza sauce or marinara sauce will work great here. I recommend using one that is less watery so that it won’t create soggy Pizza Sliders.
• Sliced Provolone Cheese – not only does extra cheese make Pizza Sliders extra tasty, this sliced cheese also gets super stringy and gooey when warm.
• Pepperoni – you’ll need about 4 ounces of sliced pepperoni for one 12-count package of Hawaiian rolls.
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – this is sprinkled over the top of the pepperoni. Feel free to substitute a pizza cheese mix, or really any other type of shredded cheese that you love. 
• Butter – you’ll need just a little melted butter to brush over the rolls before adding to the oven.
• Garlic Salt – if you don’t have garlic salt you can combine half garlic powder and half salt. Sesame seeds would also be a great topping.
• Grated Parmesan Cheese – this is optional but adds loads of flavor to the buns. 

Additional Pizza Slider Topping Ideas

Besides pepperoni, here are a few slider topping ideas:

• Crumbled sausage
• Diced pineapple
• Sliced mushrooms
• Sliced olives
• Diced bell peppers

How to Make Hawaiian Roll Pizza Sliders

1. Assemble the sliders. Without separating them, cut the package of Hawaiian rolls in half. Place the bottom of the rolls onto a baking sheet or in a baking dish. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolls then top with provolone slices, pepperoni, and then the mozzarella cheese. (Add additional pizza toppings if desired)
2. Brush the buns with butter and seasoning. Place the top of the rolls back on and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic salt and grated Parmesan cheese.
3. Bake. Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
4. Serve. Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!

Recipe Variations and Tips

Here are just a few of the countless variations you can create with Hawaiian Roll Pizza Sliders. Feel free to get creative and experiment with different sauces, cheeses, meats, and toppings to customize your sliders to your liking.

• Meat Lover’s: Layer on marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, cooked sausage, and crispy bacon.
• Veggie: For a vegetarian twist, skip the meat and load up on flavorful veggies. Spread pesto sauce on the Hawaiian rolls, then add a mix of colorful bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and sliced tomatoes. Top it off with a sprinkle of feta cheese for a burst of tangy flavor.
• BBQ Chicken: Swap out the marinara sauce for tangy barbecue sauce, then add cooked shredded chicken, red onions, and a layer of cheddar cheese.
• Caprese: Layer sliced mozzarella cheese, juicy tomato slices, and fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and bake until the cheese is melted.
