Pizza Sliders

All the goodness of a pizza in a slider. These make a great lunch or a delicious snack or even a yummy dinner.

Just like with a pizza you can customize these sliders with your favorite pizza toppings, adding as much or as little as you would like.

I buy my Hawaiian rolls at Costco so, I have 16 in a pack, but this recipe will work with a pack of 12 as well.
