Pin This RecipeEasy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups
After all the holiday cooking last week, I needed some simple recipes for dinner this week. I saw these pepperoni rolls on Pinterest and decided to make them for pizza night.
This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” recipes! I can’t believe I’ve never thought to do this before. These pepperoni rolls were so simple and super tasty! We will be eating these again very soon!
How to Make Crescent Pepperoni Roll-Ups
These pizza rolls are super simple to make. Separate a can of crescent rolls into 8 rolls. Place 5 slices of pepperoni on the wide end of the crescent roll. Top with a half slice of string cheese. Roll the crescent roll up and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rolls. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until golden brown.
- I like to use turkey pepperoni on pizza. My favorite brand is Bridgford Turkey Pepperoni – it tastes just like regular pepperoni, but it isn’t greasy!
- You can also microwave the pepperoni for a few seconds to crisp it up if you would like.

What to Serve with Pizza Rolls
We like to serve these pizza rolls with some warm pizza sauce and a salad or pasta salad. These are also great with some warm Alfredo sauce. Give these a try for your next pizza night. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Just made these! Was out of pasta sauce so we ate them with ranch. I really think they would have tasted better with the sauce! But they were still really good!
Those are so neat!! Love them. Found you from realruralmom's post. Wonderful!!!
These are awesome with Kraft Basil Tomatoe cheese sticks. I make them at least once a week!
RiRi – you would need to bake them first and then freeze them. You can pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds when you are ready to eat them.
Crescent rolls won't rise as well if you freeze them before baking.
This is an awesome recipe!! I was wondering if they can be prepared ahead of time & frozen? If so, when they are taken out of the freezer, what temp would you bake them at, & for how long? Thanks.
This was great for my husband to do with the kids for lunch – thank you for the great idea.
Wow, sounds so good & super-easy! Ran across this on Pinterest! <3

My 16-year old will love these! Thanks for the crescent roll/pizza idea!
I thought these were very tasty! I love that the crescent roll gives the "crust" a different flavor. I could have eaten a hundred of them! Unfortunately, my eight year old did not like the crescent roll and refused to eat anything but the pepperoni and cheese dipped in sauce…but what does he know???? LOL Plus, it really wasn't enough for a dinner for an eight year old, a five year old, and me. But I think I will use it as an appy recipe, cause I think they'd go over HUGE! Consider me on board with these!!!
Wonder how they would do in a lunch box, either cooked the night before or in the morning. Might have to try that for my very picky son.
Has anyone used shreaded cheese instead of a cheese stick??
These were great. We had them with homemade ranch! They will be a staple at our house!
just made these for Senior Bowl snacks and they are amazing! I puta little dollop of sauce right on the roll before I put the pep, then served with ranch! I also used some Canadian bacon, great! GOTTA LOVE PINTEREST!
Just made these for dinner tonight! They look great! Can't wait to try them with the kiddos!
