Ingredients Notes

Let’s dive into the delicious components of these sliders and how they come together:
- Slider Buns: Soft Hawaiian rolls or mini dinner rolls work perfectly. Their slightly sweet flavor complements the savory pizza toppings.
- Marinara Sauce: A good-quality jarred marinara or pizza sauce is key. If you have homemade sauce, even better!
- Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded mozzarella provides that signature stretchy, cheesy goodness. Add a sprinkle of parmesan for extra flavor.
- Pepperoni and Sausage: Classic pizza toppings like sliced pepperoni and cooked, crumbled Italian sausage bring the meaty, hearty elements of a supreme pizza to life.
- Veggies: Chopped bell peppers, red onion, and black olives add freshness and texture to balance the richness of the meat and cheese.
- Seasonings: A sprinkle of Italian seasoning or dried oregano enhances the pizza flavors.
- Butter Garlic Topping: A mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley brushed over the buns before baking gives these sliders an irresistible golden crust.
How to Make Pizza Supreme Sliders

Here’s how to make these crowd-pleasing sliders step by step:
- Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. - Assemble the Sliders:
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish. Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over the bread. - Layer the Fillings:
Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add the cooked Italian sausage, pepperoni slices, and chopped veggies evenly across the sliders. Top with more cheese for extra gooeyness. - Add the Top Layer:
Place the top half of the buns over the fillings. Brush the tops with the melted butter garlic mixture, ensuring even coverage. - Bake to Perfection:
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crisp. - Slice and Serve:
Let the sliders cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into individual portions. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Storage Options
If you have leftovers (unlikely, but it happens!), here’s how to keep them fresh:
- Refrigeration: Place the sliders in an airtight container or wrap them in foil. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Wrap individual sliders in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheating: To reheat, bake the sliders in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the buns soggy.
Variations and Substitutions
These Pizza Supreme Sliders are highly customizable! Here are some fun variations to try:
- Vegetarian Option: Skip the meats and load up on more veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for a veggie-packed slider.
- Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to spice things up.
- Different Cheeses: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, provolone, or even a spicy pepper jack for a unique twist.
- Alternative Toppings: Experiment with different pizza toppings like pineapple and ham for a Hawaiian version, or barbecue chicken for a BBQ pizza slider.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free buns to accommodate dietary needs.
These Pizza Supreme Sliders are a surefire hit for any occasion. Whether you’re making them for a casual family dinner or a party spread, they’ll disappear in no time. Serve them with a side of salad or chips for a complete meal, and enjoy all the deliciousness of a supreme pizza in slider form!
