ByJulian Dempsey October 22, 2025October 22, 2025

Introduction

These low-calorie pizza rolls are a crispy, cheesy snack perfect for when you want something savory yet light. Made with just a few simple ingredients, they come together quickly and satisfy every craving without guilt. Ideal for lunchboxes, game nights, or anytime you want a tasty bite.

A stack of four folded rectangular pizza pockets rests on a white plate, each pocket showing a golden-brown crust with melted cheese bubbling on top and sprinkled with green herbs. The pockets have a soft dough texture, with edges slightly crisp and some pockets partially revealing red tomato sauce and melted white cheese inside. Two pepperoni slices with a shiny, reddish-brown color peek out from the sides and tops of the pockets, lightly dusted with grated cheese. The close-up view captures the gooey cheese stretching between layers and the crisped spots on the crust. The setting features a white marbled surface underneath the plate.

Ingredients

5 Mission Zero Carb tortillas
2.5 string cheese sticks, cut in half
10 tbsp tomato sauce
15 slices turkey pepperoni
“I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” spray
Oregano, to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: On each tortilla, spread 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce. Add 3 slices of turkey pepperoni and half a string cheese stick.
Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Step 4: Lightly spray the rolls with butter spray, then sprinkle with oregano and grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
Step 5: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the rolls are crispy and golden brown.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes before rolling.
Swap turkey pepperoni for regular pepperoni or thinly sliced veggies to suit your taste.
Use part-skim mozzarella cheese instead of string cheese for a different texture.
Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping to enhance the pizza experience.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

A baking sheet lined with parchment paper holds eight small, rolled pizza bites arranged in two rows, each piece layered with a golden-brown baked dough base, a thick layer of vibrant red tomato sauce peeking from underneath, and a topping of melted white mozzarella cheese sprinkled with dried herbs and grated Parmesan cheese, creating a textured, slightly bubbly surface. The edges of the dough show some light browning, and some tomato sauce is visible at the ends of the rolls. In the background, a small white bowl of extra tomato sauce and a red sauce bottle are slightly blurred, all set on a white marbled texture surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular tortillas instead of zero carb?

Yes, you can use any type of tortilla you prefer, but keep in mind that the calorie count and carb content will increase with regular tortillas.

Are these pizza rolls suitable for freezing?

Yes, you can freeze the rolls before baking. Place them seam-side down on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
