These Easy Cheesy Pizza Roll-Ups are quick, freezer-friendly, and perfect for lunchboxes, featuring a crispy dough exterior and a gooey, cheesy center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (about 13.8 oz / 390 g) store-bought pizza dough or homemade dough (enough to roll out to roughly 12x10 inches)
  • 1 ½ cups (about 170 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup (about 25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup (120 ml) pizza sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional add-ins: mini pepperoni slices, chopped bell peppers, sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12×10 inches (30×25 cm).
  3. Spread ½ cup (120 ml) of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle 1 ½ cups (170 g) shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then add ¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan on top.
  5. Lightly sprinkle 1 tsp Italian seasoning and ½ tsp garlic powder over the cheese.
  6. Add optional extras like pepperoni slices, bell peppers, or olives if desired.
  7. Starting from the long edge closest to you, roll the dough into a tight log, sealing the edge by brushing 1 tbsp olive oil along the border and pressing firmly.
  8. Cut the log into 10 equal slices (about 1 inch / 2.5 cm thick) using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  9. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbling, checking after 12 minutes to avoid over-browning.
  11. Let the roll-ups cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  12. To freeze, arrange roll-ups on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until firm (about 1 hour), then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag.
  13. Reheat from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.

Notes

Brush olive oil on dough edges to seal and prevent sauce leaks. Avoid overloading with sauce or cheese to prevent sogginess. Use a wire rack to cool roll-ups to keep bottoms crisp. Reheat in oven to maintain texture; avoid microwaving. Freeze individually before storing to prevent sticking.
