Introduction

These Pizza Roll Ups are a fun and easy twist on traditional pizza, perfect for snacks or parties. Filled with gooey mozzarella, pepperoni, and savory sauce, they’re quick to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

The image shows a baking tray filled with thick, rolled pizza pinwheels standing upright, each having multiple visible layers. The outer layer is a soft, light golden-baked dough, speckled with herbs. Inside each roll, there is a vibrant red tomato sauce layer, topped with melted creamy white cheese that is slightly browned in spots. Some rolls show thin pepperoni slices peeking out beneath the cheese, adding touches of reddish orange color. The pinwheels are packed closely together in the tray, highlighting their round swirl pattern and textured edges. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

20 small flour tortillas (5-inch)
14 oz pizza sauce
24 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
80 slices pepperoni
1 tbsp cooking oil
Garlic Herb Topping:

1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a large baking pan with cooking oil or a spray.
Step 2: Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce over each tortilla.
Step 3: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce.
Step 4: Place 4-5 slices of pepperoni over the cheese.
Step 5: Roll up each tortilla tightly and arrange them seam side down on the prepared baking pan.
Step 6: Brush the tops of the roll ups with cooking oil to help them brown.
Step 7: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt; then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the roll ups.
Step 8: Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are lightly golden.

Tips & Variations

Try adding sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms inside the roll ups for extra flavor.
Substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or ham if preferred.
Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
Serve with extra pizza sauce or ranch for dipping.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to keep them crispy, or microwave briefly if in a hurry, though the texture will soften.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of a black baking tray filled with tightly rolled pizza pinwheels, standing upright in rows. Each pinwheel has three visible layers: a light beige outer tortilla wrap speckled with herbs, a middle layer of bright red tomato sauce, and a top layer of melted, slightly browned white cheese sprinkled with green herbs. The pinwheels are packed closely together, showing their spiral shape with the reddish sauce and cheese swirled inside the pale wrap. The baking tray is placed on a wooden surface that has been changed to a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups and keep them covered in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Just add a couple extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

Can I freeze pizza roll ups?

Absolutely. Place the baked roll ups on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. Reheat in a 350°F oven from frozen for about 15 minutes or until warmed through.
