This cold Veggie Pizza Recipe made with ranch cream cheese is one of our favorite spring and summer party appetizers with fresh garden vegetables like carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, and green onions. Delight your friends and family with this easy-to-make crescent roll and ranch cream cheese pizza. This pizza is always a hit for game day, parties, bridal showers, and baby showers.
Spring and summer wouldn’t be the same without a little entertaining. Hubs and I love to have friends over for appetizers and snacks with a cold beer or glass of wine. Bacon-wrapped shrimp, potato skins, crab dip, and this recipe are just a few of our favorite finger foods to share with them.
How to make Veggie Pizza
Start by pressing the crescent rolls onto a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick baking spray to form the pizza crust. Then bake in a preheated oven. Let the crust cool in the pan while you cut all the vegetables.
Now in a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and dry ranch dressing mix together. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the fully-cooled dough. Then top with the chopped veggies and sprinkle with the dill and chives. Chill before cutting into slices.
Recipe Tips
- Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with nonstick baking spray.
- Press out the crescent roll dough to cover the baking sheet. It may be necessary to trim some with kitchen scissors and move it to cover the sheet. Pinch the seams of the dough together. You can also use homemade or premade pizza dough.
- Chop the vegetables finely so that each bite has a variety.
- Are you always in a hurry? Use a tub of spreadable flavored cream cheese like chive and onion, herb, or whatever flavor suits your taste.
- Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- For a low-fat version, use low-fat sour cream and cream cheese.
- This recipe can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
- Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Nish
What a great recipe! I made it for some friends, and everyone wanted the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Leke
Yeah…Not that I don’t know how to cook, but I hardly find time to do it. But these recipes are too mouth-watering to just walk past. I’m going to try one of these
Helen
I make this all the time for cookouts, birthday parties, baby showers, holiday gatherings. I was even asked to make 5 vege pizzas for my niece’s wedding reception! Instead of using crescent rolls, I use a pizza crust, which is in a tube found by the crescent rolls. I find it rather a pain pinching the crescent rolls together & forming it to fit the cookie sheet.
Beth Pierce
Thanks for the tip Helen!
Michelle
Can the crust of this pizza be made a day ahead?
Beth Pierce
Yes it can.
CableFlame
I’ve been eating this recipe at picnics & potlucks since I was a kid & I started making it myself as an adult. Perfect for cleaning out the veggie drawer.
They make crescent roll dough sheets now that are unscored that are perfect for this recipe. You can find them in the same place as the crescent rolls.
Another good variation is to use a packet of taco seasoning instead of the ranch dressing. You can even change up the veggies to be more taco forward: tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, olives, cilantro (if you’re into that). You can even put some leftover taco meat on it if you have it.
Beth Pierce
Thanks for the tips.
Toni
I really love this idea! A great way to have my kids eat their veggies!
Dannii
we could definitely do with more vegetables in our life and this looks incredible.
Michelle
Such a delicious way to enjoy veggies on pizza! Love the addition of broccoli!

We loved this! It was like salad on a crust!

I love the ease of this recipe and plus its a bonus since I am a vegetarian its the perfect recipe for me!

I love a good veggie pizza and this one looks great! It’s so colorful and I am loving that cream cheese base! Yes!!

This looks like a great recipe! Crescent roll dough with ranch cream cheese…yum! I will be making this on the weekend! Thanks!
Cathleen
My husband always insists on having some type of meat on the pizza. But if offered this loaded pizza, I’m sure he would devour this and ask for seconds. Thanks so much for the recipe 🙂
Agnieszka
This is an easy appetizer and I love the shortcut of using crescent roll dough! Saves lots of time.
Biana
What a great idea for healthy and delicious pizza! Love that you are including lots of veggies in it.
SHARYN
I love any type of vegetable pizza but it has to 0h the warm or hot side, can this pizza be served hot?
Beth Pierce
You can most certainly serve it at room temperature if you serve it shortly after preparing it. It has cream cheese on it so it really is made to be served cold or at room temperature if served promptly. Leftovers must be refrigerated.
Tara
Such a fun pizza! It sounds incredible with the ranch cream cheese and all the color from the vegetables.
Allyson Reed Zea
As a vegetarian this is right up my alley! Love these flavors!
Erin
I need to try this Veggie Pizza immediately, it looks so good!

So healthy yet so tasty! Thanks for this wonderful pizza recipe!
Michelle
This is such a great idea! And it will be even better this summer with farmer’s market veggies!!

I’m drooling all over that. I’ve made pizza with cream cheese before but I never thought of ranch.
Michelle
I love the balance of eating veggies and making a comfort food!
Angela
Love this cold pizza recipe! It’s a guaranteed way to get my kids to eat their veggies too! Thanks for the awesome recipe 🙂
Carrie Robinson
I am loving all of those veggies! And I also just love how easy this to make. 🙂
