Looking for a fun twist on classic pizza that your kids will love? These Cheesy Pizza Roll-Ups are a hit in our house. They’re quick to make, perfect for little hands, and ideal for lunch, snack time, or even dinner when you want something simple.
My kids could eat pizza every day—but these roll-ups turn the familiar flavors into something new and exciting. Plus, they’re easy for kids to help assemble!
ngredients:
-
Homemade or store-bought pizza dough (we love using your favorite homemade dough recipe made with half whole wheat flour)
-
Shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
-
Favorite pizza toppings: pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, etc. (optional)
-
Italian seasoning (optional)
-
Tomato or marinara sauce (for dipping)
How to Make Pizza Roll-Ups:
-
Roll the Dough
Roll your dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. -
Add Fillings
Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Add any toppings your kids love. For extra flavor, add a dash of Italian seasoning. -
Roll It Up
Starting with the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it. -
Slice and Bake
For easier slicing, pop the rolled dough in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Then slice into 1-inch pieces and place on a greased baking sheet. -
Bake
Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. -
Serve with Dipping Sauce
Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Make-Ahead & Freezer Tips
Want to prep ahead? You can freeze these after baking and reheat in the oven or air fryer for a quick snack or lunchbox addition. They’re great for meal planning and back-to-school!
Kid Cooking Tip:
Let younger kids help sprinkle toppings or roll the dough. Older kids can even slice and assemble on their own with supervision—it’s a fun hands-on kitchen activity that builds confidence.
These Cheesy Pizza Roll-Ups are everything you love about pizza, rolled into a bite-sized bundle of joy. Make them your own with custom toppings, and watch how fast they disappear!
