Pizza Rolls FAQ

Can you use pre-made pizza dough for this recipe?

If you are feeling especially tired, overworked, or just lazy – you could use frozen bread dough, premade pizza dough, or even refrigerated biscuit or crescent roll dough for this recipe. I did, in this Pizza Poppers recipe. It was wonderful.

Can you use pre-made pizza sauce?

You could also quicken this up by picking up some jarred pizza sauce. I totally do that. On the reg. My favorite brand is Ragu Pizza Sauce, NOT Pizza Quick.

They are different.

This is a bit of a sentimental preference because that’s the brand my mom always used growing up, so when I don’t feel like making my own, I fall back to the familiar. If you have the ingredients though, make sure to make this Easy Homemade Pizza Sauce!

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yup! These pizza rolls reheat really well in the air fryer or back in the oven. You can make these a day in advance and they’ll still be delicious.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I usually toss them in a big freezer baggie or two, depending on how many I have left.

Can I freeze them?

Absolutely. Bake, cool, and freeze in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven, air fryer, or even the microwave.

Is there any substitution for pepperoni?

Try ham, sausage, or a vegetarian option like sliced bell peppers and mushrooms.
