We’re all about making things quick and easy for dinner, and these stuffed pizza rolls are no different. With just a few ingredients, you’ll have a fun new twist on your classic “pizza night” meal – perfect for a party or for a weeknight dinner.
My whole family loves pizza, so I knew these would be a home run with all of them – the kids AND my husband. At the end of a long week, it was the perfect ending with a big glass of root beer (thanks to my pregnancy cravings!).
Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make Stuffed Pizza Rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
- Refrigerated pizza dough, 1 package
- Shredded Mozzarella cheese
- Mini pepperonis
- Diced cooked ham
- Sliced mushrooms, 1 can
- Olive oil
- Garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
- Grated parmesan cheese
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to make Stuffed Pizza Rolls
- Preheat oven to 425℉.
- Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it’s about 8 x 12 inches. Cut it into 24 squares with a pizza cutter.
- Place cheese and desired toppings on each square. (Do not add marinara sauce, it’s for dipping after they are cooked)
- After adding toppings to each dough square, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings.
- Pinch to make sure each ball is sealed shut and then place them seam side down on a lightly sprayed pie pan or square pan.
- Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with the garlic, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese (I mixed all of these together and then sprinkled on top).
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook. Serve warm with warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Storage Suggestions
- Refrigerator: Place rolls in an airtight container or ziplock bag. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheating: Preheat oven to 300°F. Reheat until warm for best results. Or microwave in 30 second increments for 1 to 2 minutes.
Make ahead of time:
If you know you have a busy night ahead of you, you could prepare the stuffed rolls (all the way to the brushed with oil and seasonings) and refrigerate them, covered, until you’re ready to cook them.

Thanks! 😀
Looks yummy!! I may have to give it a try!
Those sound delish, and fun and easy to make! Definately gotta try them. BTW I always drink Root Beer with my pizza. Warm Hugs,
OH this looks so good! I am definitely going to make these soon!
Thanks!

Wow these look amazing…and pineapple and ham, my favorite combo! We are such pizza-holics I cant wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my, these look mighty tasty!! Thanks for the recipe!! I love the mix of seasonings that are listed!
Oh, those look good. Great idea for Super Bowl.

I do something very similar but I use frozen already-cooked meatballs that have been defrosted. I separate biscuit dough (8 biscuits creates 16 balls) and put a meatball and a little bit of cheese into each one. You only need to cook them long enough to cook the biscuits. YUMMY!
Just made these for lunch today except I used homemade pizza dough. Very good!
Pizza and root beer were my two favorite foods with my first pregnancy! Are you having a boy, by any chance? 😉
This looks positively wonderful! I’ll have to try it! 🙂 Pinned!
Yum! What a great idea – I’m sure my husband would love this. And we could each have what we wanted (I love veggies on my pizza, the other two not so much). 🙂
Looks good to me! I like the fact that you are using pizza dough….I don’t like the recipes that use crecent rolls….they are too sweet and buttery tasting…just sayin…..gonna try this though! endless possibilities!
Oh my goodness! I { L O V E } pizza too, and I can’t wait to try this.
I wasn’t sure if you knew, but I just wanted to let you know that I featured you today on Blissful and Domestic!

Tried this tonight with “1 roll of pizza dough” and it did not make 24 squares no matter how hard I tried! Only got about 10. Def. not as easy as it sounds 🙁 dough is really hard to pull up and not spill toppings everywhere… it’s in the oven now so hopefully the taste will be the redeeming factor
These are soooo good! I was craving pizza hut’s stuffed crust pizza and decided to make these instead. I used homemade pizza dough and homemade pizza sauce for dipping. All I put inside mine was a large chunk of mozzarella. They were so cheasy and gooey and delicious! Definitely one of my new fav recipes…ahh and yesterday we made your chili’s copycat salsa which was also a huge hit. Thanks!!
Just made these tonight. The recipe was shared on the Kitchn Blog.
Made these tonight. Wayyyyyyy too time consuming for the end result! Tasty though 🙂
OMG> Love this! I think I might try this idea with basil pesto, sundried tomatoes and feta/goat cheese…DROOL
I had the same problem.. the dough was awful
LOVED THESE!!! thanks for the recipe 🙂
Root beer, huh. I thought I was the only with that craving. With both of my girls, but not my son, I craved root beer. Especially root beer floats. There is probably a scientific reason for that!
Made these tonight for dinner, with a couple changes. Apparently I like to over-stuff mine, cause I had a hard time getting them to close. So I did them like ravioli! That worked out perfectly, and they came out delicious. I also used ground chicken instead of pepperoni, and when I browned the chicken, I used the same italian spice mix in with the chicken. Gave it a little extra texture, yum!
I’d really recommend two rolls of dough, and make them like ravioli instead of rolls, because it’s so much easier to handle that way. Can’t wait to try it with pepperoni and bacon!
Secret to dough perfection is canned buttermilk biscuits brushed with egg and seasoned. However, I’ve only made them with turkey pepperoni and colby jack cheese, no pineapple or anything else juicy. I always bake them at the biscuit temperature on an aluminum covered cookie sheet until golden brown.
I’ve made these for my husband multiple times and he loves them! I’m going to do a weekly meal planning post on my blog soon and this will be one of the featured recipes I will link to if that’s okay!
These sound yummy! I want to make them for a New Year’s Eve party tonight. Do you think If I pre-make the balls and stick them in the fridge then bake them at the party, would they still turn out the same?
