How to Make Pizza Rolls
For full ingredient measurements written into the instructions, see the recipe card below.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F degrees. Carefully roll out the pizza crust onto a flat surface. Evenly spread cream cheese onto the pizza crust. Layer pizza sauce on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and the remaining mozzarella. Season with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Evenly layer with pepperoni.
- Carefully roll pizza crust into a tight log.
- Using floss, serrated knife, or pizza cutter, slice each roll into 1-inch sections.
- Brush each pizza roll with garlic butter. Transfer pizza rolls onto a greased baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with marinara or ranch for dipping! Enjoy!
Tips for Making Pizza Rolls
- Using floss really makes cutting the pizza slices easy and creates clean slices. If you don't have floss, use a serrated knife and wet it between each cut for clean, easy slices.
- You can customize this pizza roll recipe however you like. I recommend using cream cheese as a sauce base, then customizing it with whatever sauces and toppings you enjoy most! It would be amazing with garlic white sauce and spinach like a Bianca pizza.
- Have fun and experiment with all your favorite pizza toppings

What to Serve with Pizza Rolls
FAQ
Pizza rolls are simple to make. To make them, you roll out a sheet of refrigerator pizza dough, then fill it with pizza ingredients. Tightly roll it into a log, then slice it into 1-inch sections. Finally, bake.
Pizza rolls are usually baked, not fried. You can make them in a traditional oven, or air fry them, depending on your preference. Although you could technically fry pizza rolls in oil, baking is easy, cleaner, and more wholesome.
Topping Variations
I love to experiment with all my favorite toppings. Some of my other favorites to add are pineapple, bell peppers, olives, ham and sausage.
Sauce Variations
- Marinara Sauce - the most delicious tomato sauce
- Garlic White Sauce - I love this with spinach and chicken sausage on a pizza
