Pizza Supreme Sliders are a delicious twist on the classic pizza, perfect for parties or a fun family meal. These sliders feature sweet Hawaiian rolls filled with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and a variety of pizza toppings, all baked to perfection.

INGREDIENTS

  • Parmesan Cheese: 1/2 cup, grated. Adds a rich, savory flavor to the topping mixture.
  • Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: 3 tablespoons, used in the flavorful topping sauce.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: 2 teaspoons, adds a subtle tanginess to the topping.
  • Unsalted Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted. Combines with olive oil for a rich base.
  • Garlic: 1 clove, minced. Provides a robust flavor to the topping sauce.
  • Dried Oregano: 1 teaspoon, a classic herb in pizza seasoning.
  • Cracked Red Pepper Flakes: 1/4 teaspoon, for a slight kick of heat.
  • Sweet Hawaiian Rolls: 1 package (12 count), soft and slightly sweet, perfect for sliders.
  • Marinara Sauce: 1 cup, divided. Adds a classic tomato base to the sliders.
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: 2 cups, divided. Melts beautifully, providing a creamy texture.
  • Marinated Artichoke Hearts: 14 ounces, drained and chopped. Adds a unique and tangy flavor.
  • Green Bell Pepper: 1 small, seeded and diced very small. Adds a fresh, crunchy element.
  • Pepperoni: 4 ounces, sliced. A classic pizza topping for a meaty texture.
  • Sliced Black Olives: 2.25 ounces, drained. Adds a briny and slightly salty taste.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the sliders from sticking.
Step 2:
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon cracked red pepper flakes. This mixture will be poured over the sliders for added flavor.
Step 3:
Using a large serrated knife, carefully slice the sweet Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without pulling them apart. This will create a top and bottom "slab" of rolls.
Step 4:
Place the bottom slab of rolls into the prepared baking dish, cut side up. Spread half of the marinara sauce (about 1/2 cup) evenly over the bottom layer.
Step 5:
Top with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the chopped marinated artichoke hearts, diced green bell pepper, sliced pepperoni, and sliced black olives. Finish with the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 6:
Spread the remaining marinara sauce on the cut side of the top slab of rolls, then place the top slab over the layered fillings, cut side down.
Step 7:
Slowly and evenly pour the prepared oil/butter mixture over the top of the rolls. Let the sliders stand for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8:
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and the cheese is melted.
Step 9:
Remove the sliders from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This will help the cheese set slightly, making them easier to cut.
Step 10:
Cut the sliders into individual sandwiches and serve immediately. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors in each bite!

Serving and Storage Tips

Serve these Pizza Supreme Sliders hot and fresh from the oven. They are perfect for a party appetizer, game day snack, or a quick family dinner. Pair them with a simple green salad or a side of marinara sauce for dipping. If you have leftovers, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.

Helpful Notes

Feel free to customize the toppings to suit your preferences. You can add sliced mushrooms, diced onions, or even some cooked sausage for extra flavor. For a spicier version, try adding jalapeño slices or using a spicy marinara sauce. If you prefer a vegetarian option, simply omit the pepperoni and add more vegetables like spinach or zucchini.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

Chef Wolfgang Puck recommends brushing the tops of the rolls with garlic butter for an extra burst of flavor. Chef Rachael Ray suggests using fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness. According to Chef Bobby Flay, a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes can elevate the sliders with a subtle heat.
