What Are Pizza Tortilla Rolls?

Pizza tortilla rolls are soft flour tortillas filled with pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings, then tightly rolled and baked, pan-fried, or air-fried until crispy outside and melty inside. Think of them as a cross between a quesadilla and a pizza roll — easy to eat, dunk, and share.

Because tortillas crisp up beautifully, they make the perfect wrapper for pizza flavors without needing yeast dough.


Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Rolls:

  • 6–8 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or provolone
  • ½ cup mini pepperoni slices (or chopped regular pepperoni)
  • ½ cup cooked sausage or bacon bits (optional)
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

For Dipping (Optional but Highly Recommended):

  • Extra marinara or pizza sauce
  • Ranch dressing
  • Garlic butter sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
  3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar over the sauce.
  5. Add toppings: pepperoni, sausage, olives, bell peppers, and herbs.
  6. Season lightly with Italian seasoning.
  7. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log, like a wrap.
  8. Brush the outside with olive oil or melted butter.
  9. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12–15 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crisp.
  11. Cool for 2 minutes, then slice into 1½-inch pieces.
  12. Serve warm with dipping sauces.

Tips for Perfect Pizza Tortilla Rolls

• Don’t overload the filling – too much cheese will leak.
• Roll tightly so the filling stays inside.
• Use low-moisture mozzarella for best melt.
• Brush the outside with butter for extra crispness.
• Let them rest briefly before slicing to avoid cheese spill.
