These campfire pizzas are so much fun to make. They are easy for everyone to cook over a campfire. A great campfire recipe for summer nights.
Campfire Crescent Roll Pizza Pockets
The kids love it when we have backyard campfires, so I thought that these Crescent Roll Pizzas would be a fun way to incorporate their love of sitting around the campfire and foo. What’s the fun of a campfire without some yummy food to enjoy with it?
These are seriously yummy. I had 2 packages of Crescent Dough, and that was not enough to feed my hungry kids. 16 Pizzas were not enough. Make sure you stock up on Crescent Dough, so you do not disappoint your hungry crowd.

Table of contents
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz. can of tomato sauce
- 1 6 oz. can of tomato paste
- 1 tsp. of dried basil
- ½ tsp. of garlic salt
- ½ tsp. of onion powder
- ¼ tsp. of sugar

How to make Campfire Pizzas
- Mix the sauce ingredients either in a bowl or directly into your skillet – Warm through for dipping
- Make 16 pieces of foil squares for campfire pizza pockets
- Spray the foil with cooking spray
- Unroll the crescent dough
- Shape each piece of dough into a square-ish shape
- Place on foil square
- Sprinkle cheese over one-half of the dough
- (You can add optional toppings to the cheese)
- Place the campfire stick over one half of the dough with cheese and fold the dough over the stick, pressing to seal on all sides
- Wrap the foil around the pizza pocket and hold it over the campfire (not directly in the fire) for about 10 minutes.
- Check to see that the bread is cooked through
- If it hasn’t, return to the campfire for a few more minutes
- When the dough has cooked through, let the pizzas cool slightly, dip into the sauce and enjoy!
You can grill these too. A lot of campgrounds have grates over the grill. We don’t have that in our backyard, so I improvised with a cookie sheet on the grill. Making multiple at once is definitely a bonus.
Whatever you decide, I know you’re going to have fun with this simple recipe that even includes my favorite – NO COOK, pizza sauce. Simple and fun.
