Storage

Store leftover pizza roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until warm. For best texture, reheating in the oven is recommended to keep them crisp.

FAQs

Can I freeze pizza roll ups?

Yes, you can freeze the roll ups before baking. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Can I use other meats instead of pepperoni?

Absolutely! Sliced cooked sausage, ham, or even bacon make great alternatives. You can also leave them out for a vegetarian option.
