If you’re a fan of bold flavor packed into bite-sized comfort, Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls are about to be your new obsession. These golden spirals of buttery, cheesy goodness have all the best parts of pizza — melty cheese, savory sauce, a hint of herbs — wrapped in flaky, crisp pastry. Perfect as an appetizer, party snack, or even a quick dinner fix, they’re crowd-pleasers that vanish in seconds.

The beauty of these rolls lies in their simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients, you get incredible payoff. Whether you’re whipping them up for game day or a casual weekend movie night, these rolls hit that magical spot between indulgent and effortless. Let’s break down how to create these flavor bombs in your own kitchen.

What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

For the flakiest texture, use all-butter puff pastry if you can find it in the frozen section. It bakes up rich and golden with a hint of buttery crispness that enhances every bite. Thaw your pastry sheet according to package instructions before you roll it out. Avoid overhandling so the layers stay distinct and airy.

Ingredients for the Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls

Puff Pastry Sheet
This is the crisp, buttery foundation that makes the rolls flaky and irresistible. One sheet is typically enough for 8-10 rolls.

Garlic Butter
Made from melted butter and minced garlic. This adds a deeply savory base and helps bind the filling to the pastry.

Mozzarella Cheese
Shredded mozzarella melts beautifully and gives you that classic pizza pull in every bite.

Parmesan Cheese
Grated Parmesan brings a sharp, nutty contrast to the melty mozzarella and enhances the garlic.

Pizza Sauce or Marinara
A thin layer inside gives the rolls that signature tomato tang. You can also serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.

Italian Seasoning
This blend of oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary infuses each roll with familiar pizza flavor.

Fresh Parsley (Optional)
A sprinkle on top after baking adds freshness and a pop of green.

How To Make the Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls

Step 1: Prep the Puff Pastry

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry into a rectangle. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Layer the Goodness

Brush the entire surface with garlic butter. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the top, followed by a generous sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan. Finish with a dusting of Italian seasoning.

Step 3: Roll It Up

Starting from one long edge, gently roll the pastry into a tight log. Slice into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the rolls on your prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Bake for 18-22 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Serving and Storing Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls

These are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven when the cheese is still gooey and the edges are crisp. You can garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan for extra appeal. If you’re storing leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best texture — the microwave can make them soggy.
