Everything you love about pepperoni pizza—savory pepperoni, melted mozzarella, tangy pizza sauce—rolled up in flaky, buttery pastry and baked to golden perfection. These pepperoni pizza rolls are the ultimate snack, perfect for game day, parties, or anytime you’re craving something delicious.
They come together quickly using store-bought puff pastry, and they disappear even faster. Serve them warm with marinara sauce for dipping, and watch them vanish.
Instructions
Prep the Pastry
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 10×12-inch rectangle (about ⅛ inch thick).
Assemble the Roll
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pastry, leaving a ½-inch border along one long edge. Sprinkle with mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped pepperoni, and oregano.
Roll and Seal
Starting from the long edge opposite the border, tightly roll the pastry into a log. Brush the bare border with egg wash and press to seal. Place seam-side down on a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Chilling makes slicing easier.
Slice
Use a sharp knife to slice the chilled log into ½-inch thick rounds. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up, spacing about 1 inch apart.
Egg Wash and Bake
Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until puffed, golden brown, and bubbly.
Serve
Let cool slightly, then serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Pro-Tips for Pepperoni Pizza Roll Perfection
- Use All-Butter Puff Pastry: The flavor difference is enormous. Look for Dufour or another brand that uses real butter.
- Don’t Overfill: Too much filling will leak out during baking.
- Leave a Border: A ½-inch border on one edge helps seal the roll.
- Chill Before Slicing: Cold dough slices cleanly without squishing the layers.
- Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife cuts cleanly through the layers.
- Serve with Marinara: Warm marinara sauce is the perfect dipping companion.
- Variations: Try adding cooked sausage, olives, or mushrooms.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the log and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before slicing and baking.
These Pepperoni Pizza Rolls are everything you love, rolled up—absolutely delicious.
