Key Ingredients and Toppings

Vegan Pizza Dough: You can find pre-made vegan pizza dough in the refrigerated section of many grocery stores (such as Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods) or you can make your own.

Vegan Pizza Sauce: You can use any plant-based pizza sauce — or even pasta sauce or marinara if you don’t have pizza sauce on hand. I used the Trader Joe’s pizza sauce (found in a tub in the refrigerated section).

Plant-Based Cheese:  Pick your favorite vegan shredded cheese! If you don’t have shredded cheese, sliced cheese will work just find too. I used GOOD PLANeT‘s mozzarella vegan cheese.

Veggie Meat Or Other Add-Ins: If you can find vegan pepperoni, it’s delicious in this recipe! I used the Yves vegan pepperoni slices (chopped up into small pieces). If you want to add an extra handmade touch to these pizza roll-ups, consider making your own vegan pepperoni to throw in! You can also add in other types of vegan meat, vegan ground beef, veggies, herbs, jalapeno for a spicy kick, and beyond.

How to Make Pizza Rolls

One of the reasons why this recipe is so popular for busy parents and kids alike is because it’s so easy. Assuming you use store-bought dough, all you need to do is:

• roll out the pizza dough on a floured work surface
• add your toppings (or rather fillings)
• roll it up like a log
• slice into 1-inch thick rounds
• bake, garnish, and serve!

Common Pizza Roll Questions

Can I make these veggie pizza rolls gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just use a gluten-free pizza crust and make sure the plant-based cheese you choose is gluten-free. Gluten free vegan pizza rolls, here you come!

Which vegan cheese is best to use?

You can use any vegan cheese you have on hand — but our favorite is shredded vegan mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of both.

I’m not a kid — can I still make this recipe?

Do you even have to ask? Of course! This recipe is for anyone and everyone that loves good food and pizza with a fun twist.
