Cooking Tips

• Feel free to get creative with the fillings. You can use any of your favorite pizza toppings.
• If you don't have pizza dough, you can use refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry as a substitute.
• Make sure to seal the edges of the pockets well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
• Leftover pizza pockets can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, simply place the pockets in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.

Storage and Serving

• Pizza pockets are best served fresh and warm.
• If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in the oven or microwave.
• Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
