Ingredients needed to make Grilled Pizza Sliders

Slider buns: Soft Hawaiian rolls or slider buns create the perfect base while adding a touch of sweetness that complements the savory pizza flavors.
Pizza sauce: a rich pizza sauce provides the classic flavor everyone expects from a great pizza.
Cheese: sliced mozzarella cheese for that creamy, gooey, cheesy pull.
Pepperoni: adds savory, slightly spicy flavor and crisps up perfectly on the grill.
Seasoning: a garlic and onion seasoning as a topping in the buttery finish.
Butter: unsalted butter for the golden toasted buns.

Layer the Ingredients

These Grilled Pizza Sliders are so quick and easy to make, that there is no planning or prepping needed. Grab your ingredients from the fridge and assemble. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or when you have a bunch of hungry kids around during summer break.

I like using the slider buns by Kings Hawaiian. They are a little bit larger than the original dinner rolls and are pre-sliced which is a game changer!

Next, add a layer of your favorite pizza sauce and start adding the pepperoni’s. Don’t skip out of the protein. Stack them over each other to make sure you get a nice bite of the pepperoni which each pizza slider.

Finally, add the cheese. I like using sliced mozzarella on my sliders. Gives even coverage throughout, less messy than shredded cheese and guarantees a good cheese pull.

Set the grill

The Grilled Pizza Sliders cook fast. Whether you are making them in the oven or on the grill, all you need is a total of 10 minutes and the meal is ready.

Preheat the grill or oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and set for indirect heat if you’re planning on grilling them.

Next, place the sheet pan with the pizza slider layers on the grill. Make sure to keep the top buns off.

This is a mistake many people make. Covering the cheese with the top buns will not allow the cheese to melt properly. Slide it on the grill uncovered and cook for 5 minutes.

Once the cheese has melted evenly, place the top on, brush some melted butter over the top and sprinkle some garlic and onion seasoning over the top.

Place everything back on the grill or in the oven for another 5 minutes or until the grilled pizza sliders buns are nicely toasted to a golden brown color.
