Crab Rangoon Pizza
Crab rangoon pizza is a delicious way to turn the classic takeout appetizer into a dinner everyone will love. A delicious creamy seafood spread sits on a pizza crust and gets topped with cheese before being baked to bubbly perfection and garnished with chili sauce and wonton strips. The perfect update to pizza night!
Pizza night is a must in our house.
We do it weekly.
While we order out sometimes, we also love making all kinds of interesting pizza combinations you wouldn’t be able to get at a pizzeria.
This crab rangoon pizza is one of our favorite unique creations.
It combines the rich creamy crab filling you’d find in the classic Chinese takeout with a pizza crust and a layer of cheese.
The result is the best of pizza night and Chinese takeout combined!
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Pizza crust– A large store bought pizza crust. Of course you could also use any homemade pizza crust you like as long as it is between 14 and 18 inches in diameter.
- Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature
- Mayonnaise– Real full fat mayo is best.
- Sour cream– Full fat will taste best.
- Imitation crab meat– Flake style. You could also substitute the same amount of canned crab meat if you prefer.
- Cheese– Shredded mozzarella and shredded Parmesan cheese
- Lemon juice– Fresh is best
- Garlic– 2 minced fresh cloves
- Green onions– Thinly sliced and divided
- Flavorings– Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste
- Garnish– Crispy wonton strips and sweet chili sauce
How to Make
Crab rangoon pizza is pretty easy to make!
To do it, whip the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella, mayonnaise, sour cream, imitation crab, Parmesan, lemon juice, garlic, onions, worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer
Put the crust on a pizza pan and spread the smooth, creamy mixture over top of the crust.
Top the crab rangoon filling with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake the pizza at 450° for 14-16 minutes or until the cheese is hot and bubbly and slightly golden brown in spots.
Carefully remove the hot pizza from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes while the cheese sets up.
Top with wonton strips and a drizzle of sweet chili sauce, if desired, then slice and serve!
Enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
This is a dish that’s best the day you make it.
However if you have leftovers, wrap it tightly and store it an airtight container for up to a day or so.
Reheat in a hot oven until the cheese has melted again.
