Air Fryer Pizza Rolls (Mini Stuffed Pizza Bites) – Crispy, Cheesy & Easy Snack
Who doesn’t love pizza in bite-sized form? Air Fryer Pizza Rolls are the ultimate snack — crispy on the outside, gooey and cheesy on the inside. These mini stuffed pizza bites are a hit with kids, perfect for parties, game nights, or even as a quick lunch. The best part? You don’t need to deep fry them in oil — the air fryer makes them golden and crunchy with very little effort. In this post, I’ll walk you through why these little pizza rolls are so popular, tips for making them even better, and how to serve them for maximum flavor.
✅ Why Make Pizza Rolls in the Air Fryer?
If you’ve only ever baked or microwaved frozen pizza rolls, you’re missing out. The air fryer completely changes the game. Instead of soft or soggy rolls, you get a crispy shell that crunches when you bite into it. Plus, the filling stays warm and cheesy without leaking out everywhere. Compared to oven baking, air fryer pizza rolls cook faster and more evenly, making them ideal when you’re short on time or just craving a quick snack.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 package wonton wrappers about 48 squares, keep covered with damp cloth
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup finely diced pepperoni or cooked Italian sausage
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce plus more for serving
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 egg white lightly beaten, or water for sealing
- 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil or use olive oil spray for misting
Instructions
- Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, Parmesan cheese, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble Rolls: Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Using your finger or a pastry brush, wet the four edges of the wrapper with egg white or water.
- Fold and Seal: Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring no air pockets remain. For a secure seal, you can fold the two opposite corners of the triangle towards the center and press lightly.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat air fryer to 370°F (185°C).
- Air Fry: Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil. Arrange pizza rolls in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch. Lightly spray or brush the tops of the rolls with oil. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving, as the filling will be extremely hot. Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
🔹 Keep Wrappers Covered: Wonton wrappers dry out quickly. Keep them under a damp paper towel while you work.
🔹 Don’t Overfill: Using too much filling will cause the rolls to burst open during cooking.
🔹 Seal Tightly: Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent cheese from leaking out.
🔹 Customize Fillings: Try different fillings like ham and pineapple, veggies, or barbecue chicken.

Homemade vs Frozen Pizza Rolls
You can make pizza rolls from scratch with pizza dough, sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings — or simply pop frozen ones into the basket. Both work beautifully in the air fryer.
Homemade rolls: Great for customizing flavors (pepperoni, veggies, sausage, or even BBQ chicken). They taste fresher and more gourmet.
Frozen rolls: Perfect when you want something fast with zero prep. Just toss them in, cook, and serve. Either way, the air fryer ensures a crispy outside and gooey inside that’s way better than microwaving.
✅ Dipping Sauce Ideas
Pizza rolls are amazing on their own, but dipping sauces take them to another level. Here are some delicious options:
- Classic marinara sauce
- Garlic butter sauce
- Ranch dressing
- Spicy sriracha mayo
- Cheesy nacho dip
Try setting up a dip platter if you’re serving these at a party — everyone will love mixing and matching flavors.
