These Garlic Butter Bacon Alfredo Pizza Twists are everything you love about pizza, pasta, and crispy breadsticks—rolled into one bite-sized, pull-apart snack.

Why I Love This Recipe
These pizza twists are irresistible. They bring together the buttery indulgence of garlic knots, the creaminess of Alfredo pasta, and the smoky-salty satisfaction of bacon. And they bake up in less than 20 minutes. It’s like the best parts of breadsticks and pizza had a cheesy baby.
They pair perfectly with craveable comfort dishes like Beer Cheese Dip and Sheet Pan Quesadillas, and they’re just as easy to share—or keep all to yourself.
Ingredients
- 1 package pizza dough
- ½ cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Ingredient Notes & Swaps
- Pizza Dough: Store-bought or homemade works—just make sure it’s room temperature before rolling.
- Cheese: Mozzarella gives the perfect melt, but try provolone or an Italian blend for variation.
- Alfredo Sauce: Jarred is great in a pinch, but homemade adds a richer touch.
- Add-ons: Want more flavor? Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions inside the roll-up.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. - Assemble the Dough
Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle. - Layer the Fillings
Spread Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle with mozzarella and crumbled bacon. - Roll & Slice
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to slice into 1-inch pieces. - Bake the Twists
Place slices flat-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with garlic butter. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. - Garnish & Serve
Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm and watch them disappear.
Tips for Success
- Use parchment: Makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
- Sharp knife = clean cuts: Use a serrated knife or dental floss to slice without smashing.
- Crispier base? Bake in a cast-iron skillet or preheated pizza stone.
Serving Suggestions & Pairings
These pizza twists are perfect on their own, but even better with:
- Beer Cheese Dip for dunking
- Crockpot Nacho Dip as a cheesy, meaty appetizer pairing
- Dorito Casserole to make it a full comfort spread
- Sheet Pan Quesadillas for an epic snack board
- Chicken Enchiladas for a cozy main course
Storage & Leftovers
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in an oven or air fryer at 350°F to crisp them up again.
- Freezer: Freeze baked twists and reheat straight from frozen for a cheesy snack anytime.
