How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). (This is super important to get that crispy texture!)
Roll out your pizza dough on a clean surface and cut it into squares, aim for about 3-inch squares.
Place a small amount of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni (or your choice of filling) in the center of each square. Don’t overfill or you’ll end up with a messy explosion!
Fold the dough over to create a roll and pinch the edges closed to seal them tight. This is where you’ll want to channel your inner pizza artist!
Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Place the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them; let them breathe and get that crispy goodness!
Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crispy. You might want to check halfway through to give them a little shake if they’re sticking together.
Serve warm with extra tomato sauce for dipping. Trust me, this step is essential.
Oh, you guys, just wait until you taste these! I can already imagine the smiles on my kids’ faces when these come out of the air fryer. This is my go-to recipe when I need something comforting and satisfying, and the best part is they’re a total crowd-pleaser!

Serving and Storage Tips
Serving Suggestions
These crispy pizza rolls are perfect as a snack or an appetizer, pair them with a fresh salad to make it a meal! I often serve them alongside ranch or garlic dipping sauce for a little extra zing!
Storage
Leftover pizza rolls can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. But trust me, they probably won’t last that long!
Reheating Instructions
When it’s time to reheat, pop them back into the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes, until heated through and crispy again. You’ll find that they retain their texture much better this way than the microwave!
Freezer-Friendly
Yep! These pizza rolls freeze beautifully! After cooking, let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, just air fry straight from the freezer for about 10-12 minutes easy peasy!
Honestly, I hope you enjoy making these as much as my family does. They really are a blast to create and so adaptable! Like, I often use whatever odds and ends we have; it’s kind of like a pizza party in our kitchen. So, get ready for some crispy, cheesy goodness!
And before I forget, be sure to have a little fun with it! Try different sauces, experiment with fillings, even add some spicy jalapeños if you’re feeling adventurous! Enjoy! Follow us on Pinterest for daily meal inspiration!
