These homemade pizza rolls are delicious and simple to make in your air fryer or deep fryer.
Cheesy, with pepperoni in a crispy egg roll wrapper — you can’t go wrong.
Perfect for game day, parties, and potlucks, they are sure to be hit among both kids and adults.

With football season underway and the holidays right around the corner, I’ve been making some fun recipes to serve at parties.
These pizza rolls do not disappoint! Similar to the little frozen pizza rolls we grew up eating and loving, these have a yummy, homemade taste that is hard to resist.

These homemade pizza rolls work great as an appetizer, snack, or kid-friendly meal and they are quick and easy to prepare.
Serve them on a tray with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dipping sauce and watch them disappear!

The great thing is you can customize these pizza rolls to your liking.
Think of your favorite pizza toppings — pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, chicken, mushrooms, green peppers, onions and tomatoes — and add them to your roll.
Or keep it simple and only add cheese.
I originally made these in the deep fryer, but I tried them in my air fryer the other day and it’s a game changer!
No oil means less fat and less mess. And the best part is they taste just as amazing! Try them out and let me know what you think!

- ¼ cup pizza sauce
Instructions
- Preheat deep fryer, air fryer, or oil in pan to approximately 350 degrees .

- Lay down 4 slices of pepperoni .
- Place cheese stick (half) on top of the pepperoni .

OH MY GOODNESS!
I have made these before never following any recipe, because they are fairly simple. This time I just thought I would see if there are any tricks to making it easier or tastier. THANK GOODNESS! I have always grated the cheese. WHY?!?! It melts anyway! Laughing at myself right now. :) Thanks for the post!!

String cheese will melt. Pre shredded cheese in a bag do not melt as well because they are coated with cellulose to prevent sticking. That coating makes melting near impossible.

These look AMAZING! I can’t wait to make them! We ran out to buy egg roll wrappers. How long do you cook them in your air fryer? Also at 350 degrees? Thanks!

Hi Linda! It will vary depending on your air fryer but I recommending trying 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes, shaking halfway through. If you want them crispier, leave them in 1-2 minutes longer.
