These homemade pizza rolls are the crispy little freezer-snack copycat with all the classic pizza flavors in one bite-sized little pocket. Made with wonton wrappers instead of dough, they cook up extra golden and crunchy in the air fryer while still staying gooey and cheesy on the inside.
If you grew up snacking on a bag of Totino’s pizza rolls from the freezer section after school, this homemade version is going to hit every bit of that same craving. They have that same cheesy pepperoni pizza center and crisp outer shell, but taste so much fresher and more flavorful made right at home. They’re easy to prep, freezer-friendly, and perfect for lunchboxes, quick snacks, or those easy dinner nights when everyone wants something fun.

Recipe Substitutions & Additions
- Mozzarella: Swap with your favorite grated cheese.
- Pepperoni: Swap with cooked sausage crumbles, ground beef, or finely diced veggies for a vegetarian option.
- Pizza Sauce: Swap with equal parts marinara sauce.
- Cream Cheese: Swap with an extra 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese.
Step-by-step Instructions
STEP 1: In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, finely chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to form a thick filling (Images 1 & 2).
STEP 2: Lay one wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Lightly brush water around all four outer edges. Then brush one horizontal line and one vertical line through the center of the wrapper to divide the middle into 4 equal filling sections (Image 3).
STEP 3: Add about 1 teaspoon of filling into each section (Image 4).
STEP 4: Place a second wonton wrapper on top. Press firmly around all outer edges and around each filling section with your fingers to fully seal the wrappers together (Image 5).
STEP 5: Use a pizza cutter or knife to slice along the sealed center lines, creating 4 individual pizza rolls. Pinch all cut edges again to make they are sealed tightly (Image 6). Repeat with the remaining wrappers until you have about 40 pizza rolls total.
STEP 6: Place the pizza rolls in batches in a single layer in an air fryer basket and spray generously with oil (Image 7). Air fry at 375 degrees F for 6–8 minutes, until golden brown and crispy (Image 8). Optional: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
Storage Instructions
Once cooled, store leftover homemade pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to crisp them back up. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months for easy homemade frozen pizza rolls anytime.
Tips For Success
- Keep the filling thick. Too much sauce can cause leaks while air frying.
- Seal every edge firmly. This keeps the cheese from bubbling out. After slicing the 4 rolls apart, give each edge a final pinch.
- Spray with oil generously. This gives the wrappers that crisp golden Totino’s style shell.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches for the crispiest texture.
