Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza Rolls. Soft, cheesy, and a little spicy, these pizza rolls are stuffed with tomato sauce, three cheeses, extra pepperoni, and baked until golden with perfectly crisp tops. The real secret? A drizzle of homemade hot honey and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Trust me, these are even more delicious than you’re imagining. I always bake a double batch because they disappear fast!
Since I just shared that big list of game day recipes, it only feels right to follow it up with something that works for both dinner and game night. Enter simple, delicious pepperoni pizza rolls!
These are such a family favorite. I’ve been making versions of them since I was a kid back in Ohio, experimenting in the kitchen with an old Williams-Sonoma kids’ cookbook. That book had a recipe for pizza rolls (and an apple pie!) that really sparked my excitement for cooking. The original rolls were simple, made with store-bought dough and no hot honey. But adding hot honey changes everything. It makes them so much yummier, with just the right balance of spicy and sweet.
I usually make my own pizza dough and hot honey, but you can, of course, use store-bought. Do what you have time for! And if you’re serving these for dinner, I love pairing them with my Fall Harvest Salad — it makes such a fun, cozy meal.
Let me tell you all the details
Ingredients
- pizza dough
- marinara sauce
- Italian seasoning
- mozzarella cheese
- provolone cheese
- cheddar cheese
- pepperoni slices
- fresh basil
- sea salt
For the Hot Honey
- honey
- hot sauce
- cayenne pepper
- chipotle powder
- garlic and onion powder
Steps
Step 1: Roll out the dough
Divide the dough in half, then roll each piece into a large rectangle.
Step 2: Add the toppings
Place each rectangle on its own sheet of parchment paper. Spread with tomato sauce, then sprinkle over Italian seasoning, cheeses, and plenty of pepperoni. Drizzle with hot honey and add a few fresh basil leaves. Parmesan works great here too!
Step 3: Roll and slice
Roll each rectangle up into a log. Chill the logs for 20–30 minutes — this makes slicing so much easier. Slice each log into 8 rolls and arrange them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden. The rolls don’t need to look perfect — they’ll still taste amazing!
Make the hot honey
In a small saucepan, gently warm honey with hot sauce, cayenne, and chipotle chili powder. Add a pinch of sea salt. The chili powder gives the sauce a subtle smokiness that balances the sweet heat perfectly.
