Best ways to enjoy it
These Pepperoni Pizza Rollups are best served hot out of the oven, where the cheesy interior is melty and decadent. For plating ideas, you can arrange them on a platter with small bowls of marinara sauce for easy dipping. Complement them with a crisp salad or some garlic knots for a complete pizza night experience. Kids will adore them as part of a birthday party spread, while adults might savor them alongside a glass of wine.
Keeping leftovers fresh
To store any leftovers, allow the rollups to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them—just make sure to wrap each rollup in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. When you’re ready to enjoy them, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
