I love sharing recipes from my family and this one comes from my Aunt Lana. She caters weddings and other parties and she always seems to have the most incredible recipes up her sleeve. I was first introduced to a version of this recipe at a party for my cousin and it’s been a favorite ever since.
At first glance, I was blown away by how colorful and just gosh-darned beautiful this little appetizer was. But I figured I probably wouldn’t be that into it. I mean, it’s just veggies after all. I was SO wrong!
Veggie Pizza Recipe
The spread is made with sour cream and cream cheese and any type of fresh or dried herbs you have on hand. I used fresh chives and dill for this version and it was mouth-watering good.
Any veggies you like can be used in this recipe. I usually see what looks good at the Farmer’s Market and go from there. I do like to include red, yellow, and orange bell peppers each time because I think the colors are so vibrant and the peppers are nice and crunchy and sweet. Broccoli and cucumber add some vibrant green hues and then I sprinkled the whole thing with more fresh chives.

I served this at a party a few weeks ago and it was gone so fast – you wouldn’t believe it! It’s so funny because people always think, “Oh. Here, let me have some vegetables so I can feel good about what I’m eating.” Then they try it and it’s like an epiphany – SO GOOD!

What You’ll Need
Only a few simple ingredients are required for this easy recipe! As always, you can find the full printable recipe with complete instructions in the recipe card at the end of this post. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need:
- refrigerated crescent rolls – you can use a name brand or store brand, whichever your prefer.
- cream cheese – full fat or reduced fat cream cheese works.
- sour cream – light sour cream or full fat.
- fresh dill and fresh chives – I love the fresh herbs in this recipe but if you prefer, you can use one tablespoon of ranch dip seasoning instead of the fresh herbs.
- salt and pepper – to taste
- assorted veggies – I like to use broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, green onion and cucumber but any veggies that you would eat raw will work in this recipe.
Use the full sheet crescent dough if you can find it!
How To Make Vegetable Pizza
If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate until serving.
Storage Information
Store any leftover veggie pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the crescent rolls will start to get soggy as they absorb the cream cheese mixture.
I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Veggie Pizza FAQs

What you can do however is all the prep: cut the veggies, bake the crescent rolls and make the spread. Assembly takes less than 5 minutes so it’s really helpful to have all those tasks out of the way beforehand.
What vegetables should I use for this vegetable pizza?The answer to that is whatever raw vegetables you enjoy eating. I like to use broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, green onion and cucumber but any veggies that you would eat raw will work in this recipe.
Can I use ranch seasoning instead of fresh herbs?Absolutely! Substitute in one to two tablespoons of ranch dip mix or seasoning mix in place of the fresh herbs in this recipe.
