When my pizza cravings hit hard but I needed to keep things low-carb, these roll-ups totally saved the day. I wanted all the pizza stuff—gooey cheese, that sauce—without wrecking my eating. Swapped in some low-carb wraps and still got all the tasty pizza flavors. The bonus? They take just about 20 minutes, so by the time I'm seriously hungry, they're ready and I'm not calling for takeout.
My keto-crazy sister tried these at my place and was so surprised they were actually low-carb. She said they're way better than choking down cauliflower crust again. She’s switched to making these whenever pizza tempts her.
Tasty Must-Haves
- Pepperoni: It's where the big pizza flavor comes from, so grab a good one
- Mozzarella cheese: Shredded works great, or grab a block and grate for max yum
- Pizza sauce: Pretty much any pizza sauce you already like is perfect
- Low-carb tortillas: Get the tasty ones—not those bland cardboardy kinds
- Italian seasoning: Basic dried mix from the spice shelf

Easy Prep Tips
- Baking time:
- Give the tops a spray of olive oil for extra crunch if you want, then bake for 10–12 minutes till they’re golden and cheese looks melty.
- Roll them up:
- Roll tight from one end, setting each seam-down on your tray so they hold together.
- Assembly:
- Lay out those tortillas, put around two spoonfuls of sauce on each (too much and they're soggy), then lay on your cheese, pepperoni, and sprinkle with seasoning.
- Start with setup:
- Kick the oven on to 375°F, cover a pan with parchment, and get everything ready before you begin building. Assembly moves quick.
The first go, I dumped in way too much sauce and had a mess. Two spoonfuls is plenty—now they're not soggy and always hold up.
Ways to Eat
I eat them alone if I'm just snacking, or make a simple salad to go alongside for dinner. Dunking in more pizza sauce makes it extra satisfying. My kids attack them for after-school eats.
Fun Twists
Got pizza fixings? You can toss on stuff like mushrooms, bell peppers, or swap in any meats. Try turkey pepperoni to lighten them up. If carbs aren't your worry, regular wraps totally work too.
Stashing and Warming Up
Stick extras in the fridge—they'll keep fine for several days. I like rewarming in the oven for best texture, but the microwave works in a hurry (might go a bit chewy). Cold leftovers are awesome, so I always make a few extra.

These have become my favorite fix when pizza calls but I don’t want to blow my healthy streak. Shows you don’t have to eat boring stuff to stick with your plan. They're actually fun to make too—way more enjoyable than most "healthy" meals.
