Print Recipe

Quick and satisfying pizza roll ups with gooey cheese and pepperoni, perfect for family snacking, lunchboxes, or casual dinners. Ready in under 30 minutes with simple ingredients and customizable fillings.

Ingredients

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12×14 inches rolled out)
  • Tomato sauce (pizza sauce or marinara, about 1/4 cup)
  • Shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups)
  • Pepperoni slices (about 20-25 slices)
  • Olive oil (for brushing, about 1 tablespoon)
  • Italian seasoning (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Garlic powder (optional, 1/4 teaspoon)
  • Flour (for dusting surface)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a roughly 12×14 inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Let rest if dough snaps back.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on one long edge.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Layer pepperoni slices on top. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder if using.
  5. Starting from the edge with toppings, roll the dough tightly toward the bare border. Press the edge gently to seal.
  6. Slice the rolled dough into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces. Place cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  7. Brush the tops and sides with olive oil and sprinkle a bit more Italian seasoning on top.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow cheese to set.

Notes

Let dough rest if it resists rolling to avoid tearing. Seal the roll edges well to prevent unrolling during baking. Use whole-milk mozzarella for best melt. Avoid overloading sauce to prevent sogginess. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to keep crust crispy. Can be customized with different toppings or dough types for dietary needs.
