How To Serve

What would you serve with pizza? The same goes for these Pizza Rolls. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. You could add a pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Maybe a garlic butter or marinara sauce.

I've even seen people dip their pizza in ranch dressing.

These are a finger food and can just be eaten straight off the platter, so they are actually great for Game Day food and parties too!

Necessary gear: Equipment

There are many varieties of air fryer out there, the one I use in my post here is listed in the recipe card below. I have added affiliate links so you can check it out. I do love it.

How to store leftovers

Due to the fact that there is meat and cheese you will need to store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator (once cooled completely). They will be fresh for 4-5 days and the best way to reheat them is actually back into the air fryer.

Did you know that reheating pizza in the air fryer is actually the best way to reheat pizza?

For best results try it. That pizza tastes just like it did when it was fresh! Just pop into the air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes.

Mel's kitchen notes

When you think about what you would like to add to your air fryer pizza rolls just think about what you normally like on your regular pizza. You can do the same.

Made famous by a brand of frozen pizza rolls (Totino's Pizza Rolls) that also cook best in the air fryer, but they're not as good as the homemade version.

I cooked both versions to show you in this post. Here's how the Totino's pizza rolls air fryer version looks:

Cooking these pizza rolls in the air fryer though is the perfect way to cook them. In the microwave they are soft and soggy.

In the oven it takes a little longer than I'd like. The air fryer version give you deliciously crispy pizza rolls and will have you converted.

Totinos Pizza Rolls in the air fryer

Totino's Pizza Rolls are ok for frozen food, one thing I've learned about those though is you can't eat them right after they're cooked - unless you want a scorched palate! Trust me. Pop one of those in your mouth and you'll never do it again, lol.

Equipment

  • Vortex Plus Air Fryer

Ingredients

Fresh Homemade Pizza Rolls

  • 1 Can Refrigerated Classic Pizza Crust
  • ½ Cup Pizza Sauce
  • 3 Ounces Pepperoni
  • ½ Pound Mozzarella Cheese freshly grated

Frozen Pizza Rolls

  • 1 Bag Totino's Pizza Rolls
  • Canola Oil Cooking Spray

Instructions

Fresh Homemade Pizza Rolls

  • Preheat Air Fryer to 320°F.
  • Lay out the pizza dough evenly on a piece of parchment paper.
    1 Can Refrigerated Classic Pizza Crust
  • Using the back of a spoon evenly spread the pizza sauce all over the pizza dough.
    ½ Cup Pizza Sauce
  • Lay out the pepperoni evenly and sprinkle the cheese all over.
    3 Ounces Pepperoni, ½ Pound Mozzarella Cheese
  • On the long edge roll up (like a Swiss roll). You can use the parchment paper to help if needed.
  • Using a sharp knife slice the roll evenly.

  • Arrange frozen Pizza Rolls evenly in basket.
  • Cook for 7 Minutes. Give basket a shake when there's 3 minutes left.

Notes

I found using thin crust pizza dough was a little tricky to form the shape needed for the rectangle. Classic pizza dough works best for this recipe.
Use a block of mozzarella and grate it yourself. You won't be disappointed. Prepackaged grated cheese is full of starches to help it not clump together - which in turn doesn't melt as good as freshly grated cheese.
You can use any pizza topping you wish in this recipe. I keep it simple as my kids are big pepperoni pizza guys, but mushrooms, olives, peppers, onions... all the usual pizza toppings will work well with this recipe.
This recipe will work in the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F and cook for 30-35 minutes.
Different Air Fryers are a little different in the way they cook. I use the Vortex Plus by Instant (they make the instant pots) and it works super well.
