Pizza Roll Ups: Step-by-Step Instructions

★★★★★4.1 (8 reviews)

Opt for a whole wheat or reduced-fat crescent roll dough. You can also use part-skim mozzarella cheese and lean turkey pepperoni. I sometimes even add a handful of finely chopped spinach into the mix for an extra veggie boost. These easy pizza rolls are as adaptable as they are delicious.


How to Serve Pizza Roll Ups

I love serving a platter of these warm Pizza Roll Ups right in the middle of the kitchen table. It invites everyone to gather round, chat, and dig in. They are the ultimate party food, perfect for game night or a casual get-together with friends.

For a simple dinner, pair them with a fresh green salad and a cup of tomato soup. It’s a meal that feels both indulgent and comforting. A cold glass of iced tea or a light beer is the perfect drink to serve alongside these savory pizza snack rolls.


Frequently Asked Questions

Are Pizza Roll Ups the same as pizza rolls?

Not quite! While both are delicious, the frozen pizza rolls you buy are typically enclosed in a thicker, doughier crust. Our homemade Pizza Roll Ups use light, flaky crescent roll dough, making them feel a bit more special and elegant.

What are Pizza Roll Ups made of?

At their heart, these easy pizza rolls are made with simple, pantry-friendly ingredients: crescent roll dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and lots of melty mozzarella cheese. A sprinkle of Parmesan and Italian seasoning finishes them off perfectly.

How do you keep Pizza Roll Ups from getting soggy?

The key is to use a light hand with the sauce. Spread a thin layer rather than a thick one. Also, ensure your oven is fully preheated so the dough starts cooking immediately, sealing in the fillings.

Can you make Pizza Roll Ups with puff pastry?

You certainly can! Puff pastry will give you a wonderfully buttery, flaky result. Just be sure to thaw it according to package instructions and roll it out into a rectangle before adding your toppings and rolling it up.

Are Pizza Roll Ups good for a party?

They are absolutely perfect for a party! They are bite-sized, easy to eat, and universally loved. I always make a double batch because they disappear from the platter faster than you can say “more please!”

Can you make Pizza Roll Ups the night before?

Yes, you can assemble them the night before. Cover your baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When you’re ready, just pop them straight into the preheated oven—you may need to add a minute or two to the bake time.

What is the best way to reheat Pizza Roll Ups?

To bring back that crispy exterior, reheating in an air fryer or a conventional oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes is best. The microwave will work in a pinch, but the dough can become soft.

Can I use biscuit dough for Pizza Roll Ups?

Absolutely! Flattened canned biscuit dough works wonderfully. It creates a softer, breadier roll-up that’s just as delicious. It’s a fantastic way to switch things up.
