Why You’ll Love These Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls

These rolls are cheesy, garlicky, and buttery—everything you want in a bite-sized pizza snack. They’re quick to prepare and work great for parties, potlucks, or family movie nights. The balance of gooey mozzarella and savory parmesan wrapped in golden dough makes them totally addictive. Plus, you can customize them with your favorite pizza toppings.

What Kind of Dough Should I Use?

For the easiest prep, refrigerated pizza dough works wonderfully and is widely available. Crescent roll dough is another option if you want an extra flaky texture. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can use homemade dough, but the pre-made versions still give you soft, fluffy rolls with a perfect crust. Just make sure to roll it evenly and don’t overload the filling so the rolls stay tidy.

Ingredients for the Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls

Each ingredient plays a role in making these rolls flavorful, cheesy, and crisp on the outside yet soft inside.

• Refrigerated pizza dough
• Mozzarella cheese
• Pepperoni slices (optional but classic)
• Salted butter
• Fresh garlic cloves
• Parmesan cheese
• Italian seasoning
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

These simple ingredients work together to create the familiar comfort of pizza with a twist of buttery garlic indulgence.

How To Make the Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls

Step 1: Prep the Dough

Roll out the refrigerated dough on a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a large rectangle and press gently to ensure even thickness.

Step 2: Add the Fillings

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, then layer with pepperoni slices if using. Leave a small border along one edge.

Step 3: Roll and Slice

Starting from the opposite end of the border, roll the dough into a tight log. Slice into 1 to 1.5-inch sections and place them cut-side down in a greased baking dish.

Step 4: Make Garlic Butter Topping

Melt butter in a small saucepan and add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a generous sprinkle of parmesan. Brush this over each roll.

Step 5: Bake and Garnish

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped parsley and extra parmesan.

Serving and Storing Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls

This recipe makes about 12 to 14 pizza rolls, making it perfect for feeding 4 to 6 people depending on serving size. Serve them warm from the oven with marinara sauce for dipping, or as part of a party spread.

Leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in a toaster oven or air fryer for a few minutes until crisp and warm. They also freeze well before baking—just prep, freeze on a tray, then store in a freezer bag until ready to bake.
