Homemade Pizza Rolls

Homemade Pizza Rolls

You know what’s better than pizza? Pizza you can eat by the handful. These homemade pizza rolls are everything you love about pizza—ooey-gooey cheese, savory sauce, crispy crust—but wrapped up in golden-brown bite-sized goodness.

And because I can’t help but stir the pot (or in this case, the salad bowl), I swapped out croutons in my Caesar salad and threw these babies in instead. The result? Crave-level chaos in the best way.

Ingredients:

  • Wonton wrappers (find them in the refrigerated section near tofu!)
  • Shredded mozzarella
  • Pepperoni, mini or chopped (or whatever toppings your heart desires)
  • Pizza sauce or marinara
  • Avocado oil for pan-frying
  • Optional: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or grated Parmesan

Instructions:

  1. Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface.
  2. Add a small spoonful of pizza sauce, a pinch of cheese, and your topping.
  3. Wet the edges with a little water, then fold into a triangle or rectangle—whatever shape speaks to your soul—and seal tightly.
  4. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the rolls for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Optional but recommended: Toss them in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–4 minutes to really crisp them up.
  6. Let them cool slightly (molten cheese is no joke), then serve!

The Salad Hack You Didn’t Know You Needed

So you’ve got a batch of crispy pizza rolls. You could eat them by the handful (valid), but why not get a little wild? Toss them into a Caesar salad in place of croutons.

The result? Creamy meets crispy. Cold lettuce meets hot cheesy bites. It’s a salad/dinner/snack hybrid that’s totally unexpected and totally addictive.

Why I’m Obsessed:

  • Wonton wrappers are lighter than dough = more crunch, less fuss.
  • They’re fast to fry and freezer-friendly.
  • Your Caesar salad will never be boring again.

This is the kind of recipe that makes your kids cheer, your friends ask for the secret, and your salad go viral on Instagram (okay maybe not viral, but like… worthy).

Make It a Moment:

  • Perfect for after-school snacks
  • Fun dinner twist for picky eaters
  • Crowd-pleasing appetizer for parties
  • A way to make Caesar salad exciting again

Pizza Roll FAQ

Can I make these pizza rolls ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble them ahead and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Or freeze them (uncooked or cooked) for a quick snack later—just reheat in the oven or air fryer until warmed through.

Can I use store-bought dough instead?

Totally! Store-bought pizza dough works great if you’re short on time. You can usually find it in the refrigerated section near the deli or bakery.

How do I reheat leftover pizza rolls?

Pop them in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes or in the oven at 375°F for about 5–7 minutes to crisp them up again. The microwave works too, but you’ll lose that delicious crunch.

What other fillings can I use?

Get creative! Try cooked sausage, sautéed mushrooms, olives, or a little ricotta for a stuffed-pizza vibe. Just avoid overfilling or they’ll be hard to seal.

Can kids help make these?

Yes! Rolling out dough and filling pizza rolls is a super fun activity for little hands. Just supervise during the sealing and baking steps.

Why put pizza rolls in a Caesar salad?

Why not? The combo of warm, cheesy bites with cool, crisp lettuce and tangy dressing is unexpectedly amazing. It’s a great way to shake up a classic!

Nestled into warm pita bread and optionally served with pasta, this dish is pure comfort with a fun twist.

For the Chicken Patties:

• 1 lb ground chicken

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• 1/2 cup bread crumbs

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Olive oil (for cooking)

For Assembly:

• 1 cup tomato sauce (marinara works great)

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 4–6 small pita breads (or however many your mixture yields)

• 1 Caesar salad kit (with dressing and croutons)

Optional Add-On:

• Cooked pasta of your choice (penne or spaghetti works great) tossed in a little olive oil or extra tomato sauce

Instructions:

1. Make the Chicken Smash Patties:

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork it.

Divide into 4–6 equal portions and form loose meatballs.

2. Smash + Cook:

Heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place a pita bread in the pan, then set a meatball in the center. Use a spatula (or the bottom of a small plate) to press down and smash the meatball flat onto the pita. Cook for 3–4 minutes until browned, then flip.

3. Sauce + Cheese:

Spoon tomato sauce on top of the cooked chicken side, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. Cover the skillet for a minute or two until the cheese melts and the chicken finishes cooking.

4. Caesar Crunch:

While the tacos cook, toss your Caesar salad kit together (dressing, lettuce, and croutons). Feel free to crush the croutons for a taco-friendly texture.

5. Assemble + Serve:

Top each taco with a generous scoop of Caesar salad and a final sprinkle of Parmesan. Serve warm, optionally alongside a bowl of pasta for those extra-hungry nights.

Tips + Variations:

• Swap pita for naan or tortillas if that’s what you have on hand.

• Spice it up with a pinch of red pepper flakes in the chicken mix.

• Add fresh basil or parsley for extra freshness.

• Mini-size it for party appetizers!
